Introduction

The MSI PRO Z890-P WiFi is a well-balanced ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z890 chipset with the LGA 1851 socket, designed for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2). It delivers a refined feature set—including DDR5 support up to 9200 MT/s (OC), PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7, 5 GbE LAN, and Thunderbolt 4—packaged in a clean, productivity-focused design.

Power Design

Equipped with a 14-phase Duet Rail power system utilizing 55 A DrMOS stages, enhanced by MSI’s Core Boost and Memory Boost technologies, it ensures stable power delivery for demanding workloads. The board features a robust 2 oz copper, 6-layer PCB with extended heatsinks for effective thermal management.

Memory

Supports four DDR5 UDIMM slots with up to 256 GB total capacity and overclockable speeds reaching 9200+ MT/s. Built-in support for Intel XMP 3.0 and dual-controller, dual-channel architecture optimizes memory performance.

Expansion & Storage

The board includes a steel-reinforced PCIe 5.0 ×16 slot (with EZ PCIe Clip II), two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (x4 mode), plus a PCIe 4.0 ×1 slot. For storage, there’s one M.2 PCIe 5.0 ×4 slot and three PCIe 4.0 ×4 M.2 slots—all with EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II—plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID support.

Networking

The board offers advanced connectivity through Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be, tri-band, MU-MIMO) and Bluetooth 5.4, along with Realtek 5 GbE LAN for fast, low-latency wired or wireless networking.

Connectivity & I/O

The rear I/O includes Thunderbolt 4 over USB-C, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gb/s), along with USB 3.2 Gen 2/3 and USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, PS/2, and BIOS Flashback for versatile connection options.

Cooling & Build Quality

Designed with extended heatsinks, 7 W/mK MOSFET and choke thermal pads, and MSI’s Frozr thermal package (including Shield Frozr coverings), this board delivers efficient cooling under load. A pre-installed I/O shield also simplifies installation.[turn0search10](#cite))
