MSI MEG Z890 Ace Review : Top-Tier Quality With a Hefty Price Tag

Sorry for the deletion and reupload - we had some rendering errors in the original video. Our editor has been fired and demoted to making the tea for the rest of the year.

It's taken a while for Intel to fix their Core Ultra 200S processors and we are now finally able to take a proper look at matching motherboards. We are aiming high with this review as we check out the MSI MEG Z890 Ace which is packed with features but which also costs a scary £640.
