MSI Z590-A PRO Overview

Enhance productivity in your workspace with the Z590-A PRO LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard from MSI. Designed to utilize a wide range of components, the Z590-A PRO offers vast connectivity options from the internal fan- and liquid-cooling headers to expansion slots, making this ideal for photo and video editors, as well as business professionals.

Built on the Z590 chipset while offering an LGA 1200 socket, you can leverage the power of Intel 11th Gen processors, giving you access to enhanced speeds in conjunction with four dual-channel DDR4 RAM slots, six SATA III ports, and three M.2 interfaces. One PCIe 4.0 x16, one PCIe 3.0 x16, and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots allow you to install a wide range of graphics and utility cards, expanding the capabilities of your system with ease. The Z590-A PRO gives you access to USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, enabling you to connect a wide range of resource-demanding peripherals like cameras, USB microphones, and audio interfaces. Connect to your wired network and experience quick upload and download speeds with a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port. This motherboard is only compatible with Windows 10 (64-bit) operating systems.

Thermal Solutions

The Z590-A PRO enables you to install fan- or liquid-cooling systems, allowing you to choose a thermal solution that best fits your custom build. An extended heatsink covers essential components and the signature M.2 Shield Frozr keeps your NVMe solid-state drive cool under heavy loads. Frozr AI Cooling automatically detects temperatures across your components and adjusts to meet thermal performance with performance, silent, and manual modes. Fully Fan Control enables you to manually adjust parameters while feeding you information in real-time for proper monitoring.

Friendly Design

Whether you are a seasoned or amateur builder, the Z590-A PRO uses an atypical PCB routing design that focuses on simplicity and durability, giving you everything you need to put together a workstation-optimized PC. A keep-out zone protects onboard circuitry from contacting case standoffs. An enlarged XL PCIe clip assists in card swapping for stronger support. Additionally, an EZ debug LED system tells you if components are experiencing any issues, reducing time spent on troubleshooting. An EZ LED switch allows you to quickly turn your lighting effects on or off.

Power Protection

Sporting a 6-layer printed circuit board, you get improved heat dissipation and enhanced performance reliability for standard and overclocked modes. PCIe Steel Armor slots add a layer of steel to enhance the durability of your slot, enabling it to withstand the weight of heavy graphics and utility cards. Double ESD protection prevents shorts by adding another grounding layer to mounting holes. The overall build of the Z590-A PRO makes it certified for Windows 10 operating system, ensuring your motherboard can handle a wide range of tasks with ease.

Connectivity

Connect to your network via 2.5 Gigabit LAN providing enhanced transfer speeds ideal for gaming or enjoying your favorite media. LAN Manager automatically prioritizes games above other applications, allows you to change traffic priority, and enables custom bandwidth for each application for low-latency gaming. A USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port offers transfer speeds up to 20 Gb/s, allowing you to take advantage of high-powered peripherals such as audio and video interfaces. A front-end USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connector gives you instant access to quick downloads and fast mobile device charging. Mystic Light Sync headers provide additional lighting effects suitable for RGB lighting strips.

Performance Enhancements

DDR4 Boost and XMP capabilities ensure optimal performance with a wide range of memory manufacturers, ensuring proper configurations whether you are in overclocked or standard modes. MSI’s Lightning Gen 4 connectivity protocol enables enhanced speeds up to 64 Gb/s for PCIe slots and M.2 interfaces when the Z590-A PRO is paired with an 11th Gen Intel processor. Intel Optane support is also available, enabling you to install compatible M.2 devices to enhance the speed of your hard-disk drives. Resizable BAR enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once to improve performance while you game.

Power Design

Leveraging a 12+2+1 Duet Rail Power System, the Z590-A PRO can deliver ample power while maintaining electrical load for optimal efficiency. Core Boost technology directs power to the CPU quicker, creating proper conditions suitable for overclocking. XMP and DDR4 BOOST work together to improve the performance of your build by expanding the capabilities of your memory.

High-End Audio

Immerse yourself deep into your virtual worlds with high-definition audio delivered by a Realtek ALC897 dedicated audio processor, high-quality audio capacitors, and six 3.5mm audio jacks. The isolated audio design separates the audio traces from the rest of the board components to reduce electrical crosstalk. Separated audio layers provide clean left and right channels with a dedicated PCB design. De-pop protection reduces the popping sound when connecting and disconnecting your headphones.

BIOS & Software

Adjust various system parameters with MSI Center, a suite of software utilities that are centralized to give you quick access to advanced motherboard features. True color, live update, user scenario, hardware monitor, OC setting, total fan control, mystic light, product registration, and CLICK BIOS 5 all work together to streamline operations and simplify your overall experience. Resizable Bar enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once to improve general performance and works in tandem with overclocking adjustments.

Secure Boot

Secure Boot implementation enables you to use only the software that is trusted. Firmware actively checks the signature of each piece of software to ensure your system is accurate and falls in line with system parameters.
