MSI MEG Z390 GODLIKE Review

Finished Looks


The MEG Z390 GODLIKE is a magnificent board, and the generally neutral theme will match well with a large spectrum of components. The board matches wonderfully with my test components, although as an E-ATX board, I did have to adjust my radiator mounting to accommodate the extra width. The MEG Z390 GODLIKE has a masterful fit and finish and includes small details like the reinforced DIMM slots that make it feel premium beyond any other board I have tested.


Now on to the more flashy features. The GODLIKE has some serious RGB options, and MSI is particularly proud of the Infinity Mirror RGB shroud over the VRM heatsink. It is very pretty, and like all well-implemented RGB designs, looks good when turned off so as not to scare off anti-RGB enthusiasts.
