As someone who relies on their computer daily, I was searching for an update to my MSI Z790 ITX Edge SFF 13700 K PC that delivers excellent speed and reliability. When it was time for an upgrade, I opted for a Gigabyte Z890i Aorus ITX Ultra and an Intel i9-2850 K Ultra CPU. From day one until yesterday, I stuck with this board through BIOS revisions and other updates, so it would read RAM correctly, maintain a Wi-Fi signal, and avoid random shutdowns. It never would stabilize long story. When the price for this MSI Z890 I ITX Edge Wi-Fi dropped, I bought one (2 actually) instantly and installed mine yesterday. I am amazed at the difference in quality. It is significantly faster, smoother, and the audio is impressive; the audio on the Gigabyte board was not. It reads my RAM at 8400MHz, right where it should be, with zero glitches. My CPU is also right where it should be, and there are no random shutdowns (fingers crossed). Software installation was fast and automatic. I conducted extensive research before making this switch, and on paper, this board was supposed to be quicker due to enhanced VRMs, among other improvements. I have found this to be so. Though I havent benchmarked it yet, I anticipate excellent marks.

Well built with quality parts.
he addition of a heavy metal plate at the back and an M.2 SSD heatsink enhances durability and cooling efficiency. Installing an SSD is a breezeno screwdriver needed. The motherboard and CPU fan mount size are compatible with previous generations, eliminating the need for additional upgrades. The new BIOS interface provides more configuration options. Paired with an Ultra i7 processor, the performance nearly matches my i9-14, while temperatures during intensive deep learning tasks have dropped significantly from 70°C to 48°C.
