MSI Z390 MEG Godlike
This category is simple: you’ve got money to burn and you’re happy to burn it. In that case we can probably interest you in either the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme or MSI MEG Z390 Godlike, both are exceptional products and are the very definition of overkill. They both also cost more than the Core i9-9900K.

The MSI MEG Z390 Godlike has fantastic PCI and storage options, excellent audio circuitry and loads of features that allow plenty of power to flow through the board itself. It's very expensive, though, and only really performed well in application tests...

Willing to throw caution to the wind on Z390? MSI has the dubious honor of offering the most insane motherboard for a mainstream 9th Gen Core chip.

Now, $599.99 US is a whole lot of money even for a flagship motherboard. Most users don't need a fraction of the extra features the MEG Z390 GODLIKE includes, and even the most avid enthusiasts may struggle to justify some of them. If you want the best of the best, every possible bell and whistle, all tied into a beautifully engineered package, then I strongly recommend giving the MEG Z390 GODLIKE a serious look.

This is easily one of the finest Z390 motherboards on the market today. Unfortunately, MSI know this, and the price reflects it. It's not cheap, but if you want premium features and performance, they come at a price. I highly recommend the motherboard,...

La MSI MEG Z390 Godlike es la placa base más potente y completa lanzada hasta la fecha por la compañía taiwanesa, capaz de dar vida a procesadores como el i9-9900K, que no es poco. Para ello, hace uso de un potentísimo VRM de 18 fases que nos permite además una buena dosis de overclocking, pues podemos llegar a los 5,3 GHz para todos sus núcleos sin ningún esfuerzo.

¿Merece la pena? Dado sus componentes y características, sí. Sobre todo para los nuevos procesadores i9, que demandarán más alimentación y mejores fases de alimentación.

Preis als grobe Richtung für das neue MSI MEG Z390 Godlike herangezogen werden kann. Der Preis wird und würde natürlich sehr hoch ausfallen, was zum Teil auch an Intels 14-nm-Lieferschwierigkeiten liegen wird. Wer jedoch High-End möchte, der muss sich allerdings auch auf High-End-Preise einrichten. Rein von der Hardware her kann das MSI MEG Z390 Godlike von den Storage-Restriktionen abgesehen überzeugen.
