Z590 chipset ATX motherboard
The MSI Z590-A PRO is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z590 chipset and the LGA 1200 socket. It accepts 10th and 11th generation Intel Core processors along with Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. The board supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB and provides PCIe 4.0 on the primary slot when paired with an 11th generation CPU.
Builders needing PCIe 4.0 and 2.5 Gbps LAN
This board suits builders who want PCIe 4.0 graphics support with an 11th generation processor and a 2.5 Gbps Intel I225-V network controller. It also provides a rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port running at 20 Gbps. Systems staying with a 10th generation CPU will be limited to PCIe 3.0 on the primary slot, so those builders may prefer a different platform.
Primary PCIe slot generation depends on CPU
The top PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 with an 11th generation Intel Core processor and falls back to PCIe 3.0 with a 10th generation processor. This single specification decides whether the board delivers the full bandwidth potential of current graphics cards and high-speed add-in cards.
