Any thoughts on the MSI MEG Z890 Ace motherboard?
I am comparing it to the Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Hero.

Seems like the MSI mb is better, but I have read that it is glitchy.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!
 
With 50+ Z890 chipsets to choose from, things are hectic. Also, Intel Core Ultra 200 CPUs are waste of money. Better go with AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPU. For far higher value (price to performance ratio).

But if you insist going with Intel chip, then to choose a MoBo, it is best to read MoBo roundups. Like this one,

Custom to MSI, that MoBo is WAY overpriced. It's only selling point would be 10 Gbps LAN port. But if you go with much cheaper MSI Z890 Carbon, which already has 5 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps LAN ports, you can cheaply buy 10 Gbps add-on card to get the 10 Gbps LAN port. While also having 5 and 2.5 Gbps LAN ports.

Another overpriced MoBo. You'd get more value with Asus ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi.

But do read the MoBo roundup i linked. It gives plenty of good info on which MoBo to choose. :)
