During Computex 2018 we were exposed to a new product line from MSI called MEG or the MSI Enthusiast Gaming with their flagship motherboard called the X399 Creation. The motherboard had a great overall design that would lay the groundwork for a unified product line with similar graphic treatments, features and performance.

In this review I’ll be showing you the MSI MEG Z390 ACE. This board shares many of the design cues found on the X399 Creation but is built on the Intel Z390 chipset for LGA 115x 8000 and 9000 series processors. Position wise, it is one step down from the MEG Z390 Godlike and really designed to do more than just game. Of course the reason for the Intel 300 series is to support the new Core i9 9900K Coffee Lake processor but, is fully backwards compatible with existing Coffee Lake processors giving you the same features with the option for more performance in multi threaded applications.
