    AMA MSI Comet Lake Z490 Motherboard AMA and Giveaway

    It is hard to say, though we hope they all receive a great amount of attention! :) Most of our motherboards feature two 7 segment debug displays for troubleshooting and temperature readout. Keep an eye out for when the temperature readout says "42". We have and we already do! Check out our...

    Most of our motherboards come in a black carbon/grey general color scheme with RGB lighting accents. Expanding motherboard manufacturing to the US can get a little tricky due to a number of reasons. I do not see it being feasible in the near future. Our Z490 chipset motherboard can already...

    The MEG Z490 Godlike is top of the line when it comes to Z490 motherboards. It is chock full of features that make overclocking both RAM and CPU more stable allowing you to reach higher frequencies.

    Good question. It may become pretty prevalent in the coming years, usually this type of technology can take a couple years to grow into itself. We already have PCIe Gen 4 compatible SSDs in the market so that is great! We already do offer the MPG Z490M Gaming Edge WIFI motherboard which is...

    Motherboard RGB lighting would be controllable with Mystic Light on our Dragon Center app.

    Again, it will depend on what your use case is; what type of games you are looking to play. As a general rule of thumb using entry level hardware will in turn yield entry level results meaning that more advanced gaming titles may require stronger hardware to run.

    Can't provide a comment on an unresolved partner matter, sorry.

    It certainly can be a great entry level gaming card, just depends on what games you are looking to play and at what resolution. If you are playing games like Fortnite then you will probably be fine.

    Unfortunately we cannot comment on this at this time. We don't have onboard watercooled VRM, but the Z490 boards feature bolstered up heatsink solutions across the board. Motherboards such as the MEG Z490 GODLIKE and MEG Z490 ACE actually feature built-in active VRM cooling. However, we're...

    Probably as well as most other motherboard chipset platforms. I assume you mean if we are implementing GPS based location tracking technology for our motherboards. At the moment no, but if something like this is sought after for a motherboard there may be bigger issues at hand :)

    I wouldn't have hard numbers at the moment to give you something more concrete but every model should be capable to adequately handle VRM cooling requirements in practical scenarios for their use case.

    We are quite confident with our VRM design. We have even added active VRM cooling to our MEG series motherboards, something some may argue may even be overboard :) Extended heatsink designs have been implemented thought the entirety of our product line from the Godlike down to the A-Pro to...

    This new Z490 chipset will support Intel 10th gen Core processors such as the i9-10900K processor and should also support the generation of processors after these. Anything older will not be supported due to the chipset using a new LGA 1200 socket compared to the LGA 1151 socket from the last...

    The type of motherboard you get can certainly make a difference depending on your use case and what you are looking to get out of it. Enthusiast motherboards have a plethora of features that more budget boards do not to accommodate people with higher or more advanced requirements. For a simple...

    To keep it short since we are mostly focusing on our Z490 boards for this AMA, personally Raytracing technology is great experience in games, and as technology moves forward more amazing things will come from it. FPS is mostly what takes a hit with Raytracing enabled at the moment, not...
