Description
MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS is a 305 × 244 mm ATX board with the LGA1200 socket. Four DDR4 slots support up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode; stock memory speed depends on the CPU, while higher XMP settings depend on the modules and their population. Storage includes two M.2 slots and six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Using M.2 disables some SATA ports: SATA2 with a SATA drive in M2_1, and SATA5 and SATA6 when M2_2 is populated. Intel Core 11th Gen processors require a compatible BIOS; check the exact CPU against the installed BIOS version.
