Z490 ATX motherboard for LGA 1200

The MSI MEG Z490 UNIFY is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z490 chipset for LGA 1200 processors. It supports DDR4 memory up to 128 GB and provides a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot plus one legacy PCI slot. The board and I/O shield are the only items included in the package.

Suits single-GPU builds with legacy PCI needs

This board fits builders who want one full-length graphics card and still require a standard PCI slot for older add-in cards. It is not suited for multi-GPU configurations or for systems that need more than one PCI Express x16 connection. Buyers who need integrated Wi-Fi or a larger accessory bundle should look elsewhere.

One PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot decides GPU layout

The single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot means only one modern graphics card can be installed at full bandwidth. If your build requires two or more x16 devices, this motherboard will not meet that requirement.
