Thunderbolt 3

MSI Z490-A PRO motherboard supports 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron Processors for LGA 1200 socket. Featuring stable functionality and high-quality assembly, PRO series motherboards provide not only optimized professional workflows but also less troubleshooting and longevity. A dedicated water pump PIN header supports up to 2 amp, giving you full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked ‘keep-out-zone’ allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit. Total Fan Control allows you check your primary system characteristics in a simplified graphical interface. MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points and support the weight of heavy graphics cards. Double ESD protection doubles up the grounding layer around the mounting holes, preventing static discharge surges from damaging the motherboard. MSI PRO series motherboards offer a wide variety of options to connect and boost your USB devices, delivering 10Gbps transferring speed by both USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C. 2.5Gbps LAN provides incredible data transfer speed faster than general Gigabit LAN. ~section~ Model Z490-A PRO CPU Socket LGA 1200 CPU Support Supports 10th Gen Intel Core and Pentium Gold, Celeron processors for LGA1200 socket Chipset Intel Z490 Chipset Memory DDR4 Onboard Graphics 1x HDMI port, supports a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 @30Hz 1x DisplayPort, supports a maximum resolution of 4096×2304 @60Hz Maximum shared memory is 1GB Multi-GPU Support AMD 2-Way CrossFire Technology Expansion Slot 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (from CPU) 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (from PCH， supports x4 mode) 3x PCIe x1 slots (from PCH) LAN 1x Realtek RTL8125B-CG 2.5G LAN Controller Storage Intel Z490 Chipset 6x SATA 6Gb/s ports 2x M.2 slots (Key M) M2_1 supports up to PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6Gb/s, 2242/ 2260/ 2280/ 22110 storage devices M2_2 supports up to PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6Gb/s, 2242/ 2260/ 2280 storage devices Intel Optane Memory Ready Supports Intel Smart Response Technology for Intel Core processors Audio Realtek ALC892 Codec 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio USB Ports Intel Z490 Chipset 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps ports (1 Type-A port and 1 Type-C port on the back panel) 7x USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps ports (2 Type-A ports on the back panel, 4 ports through the internal USB connectors, 1 Type-C internal connector) 6x USB 2.0 ports (2 Type-A ports on the back panel, 4 ports through the internal USB 2.0 connectors) Internal Connectors 1x 24-pin ATX main power connector 1x 8-pin ATX 12V power connector 1x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector 6x SATA 6Gb/s connectors 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps Type-C port 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps connectors (support additional 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps ports) 2x USB 2.0 connectors (support additional 4 USB 2.0 ports) 1x 4-pin CPU fan connector 1x 4-pin water pump connector 6x 4-pin system fan connectors 1x front panel audio connector 2x system panel connectors 1x Chassis Intrusion connector 1x Clear CMOS jumper 1x 4-pin RGB LED connector 2x 3-pin RAINBOW LED connectors 1x serial port connector 1x TPM module connector 1x TBT connector Back Panel Ports Keyboard / Mouse 2.5G LAN Audio Connectors USB 2.0 HDMI DisplayPort USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type-A + Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps Type-A Mounting 9 mounting holes Dimension 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm ATX Form Factor Warranty 3 Years
