MSI PRO Z890-S WIFI WHITE LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard

Specifications & Core Features

The MSI PRO Z890-S WiFi White is an ATX motherboard built for Intel’s latest LGA 1851 socket, supporting Intel Core Ultra Series processors. It features the Z890 chipset, enabling advanced overclocking, high-speed DDR5 memory, and next-generation connectivity. The board includes four DDR5 DIMM slots with support for up to 256 GB and extremely high memory frequencies suited for heavy multitasking, gaming, and content creation.

For expansion, it provides one PCIe 5.0 ×16 slot for modern GPUs and additional PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 slots for extra cards. The storage layout includes one PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slot and two PCIe Gen 4 M.2 slots, ensuring support for cutting-edge NVMe SSDs. Four SATA ports allow for traditional storage options.

Connectivity is a major highlight: the motherboard includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5G LAN for fast and stable networking. Rear I/O includes Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, multiple USB 3.2 ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, and audio connections powered by a Realtek 7.1-channel codec. MSI’s extended heatsinks, thermal pads, M.2 Shield Frozr, and EZ Debug LEDs round out the platform.

Strengths & Advantages

This motherboard stands out for its future-proof hardware support, thanks to its LGA 1851 socket, PCIe 5.0 graphics slot, and Gen 5 M.2 storage. The addition of Wi-Fi 7 makes it one of the fastest wireless platforms available, delivering extremely high speeds and low latency for modern networks. Thunderbolt 4 provides flexibility for high-speed external storage, docking stations, and professional workflows.

Its ATX layout and robust 12+1+1+1 power delivery system ensure stable performance even with high-end CPUs. The DDR5 support with high overclock ceilings is excellent for users seeking maximum performance in memory-intensive applications.

The white styling adds a premium aesthetic, making it ideal for clean or themed PC builds. MSI’s build-friendly features — including the pre-installed I/O shield, EZ M.2 clips, and optimized cable-management layout — make the installation process smoother.

Considerations & Limitations

Although the PRO Z890-S offers strong performance, it does not include flashy RGB lighting, so users who prefer heavily illuminated builds may want to add external RGB components. Its power delivery, while robust, may still not match the highest-tier enthusiast boards aimed at extreme overclocking.

The three M.2 slots share thermal space, which may require good airflow in the case to avoid throttling with Gen 5 SSDs. Because the platform relies on the newest Intel socket, BIOS updates may be necessary for optimal CPU support.

Lastly, the motherboard’s advanced features — Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, Gen 5 storage — may add to its overall cost. Users building budget systems may find some features unnecessary, though performance-focused or future-oriented builders will likely appreciate the value.
