MSI Z390-A PRO Review:
The biggest difference between the MSI Z390-A PRO and the rest of MSI’s Z390 family is that this board isn’t specifically aimed towards gaming maniacs. The aesthetics are simple with a coffee-themed PCB which features silver patterning along with it; particularly around the edges of the board and around the silver and black heatsinks. The main selling point of the MSI Z390-A PRO is in its value with a good variety of controllers including an Intel I219V Gigabit Ethernet controller and a Realtek ALC892 HD audio codec handling the onboard audio.

- The board utilizes a decent set of controllers which further elevates the price and it in turn means users might need to increase their budgets a bit to make the jump to MSI’s Z390 platform; especially keeping in mind the equivalent models when the Z370 chipset first came about.
