I also snapped a picture of the boards lighting. MSI included two RGB headers as well as this strip of LEDs under the board for an underglow effect. They are only red LEDs and while they do match the board I suspect some people will be upset that you can’t change them to match the color of your build if you change that later.

Enhanced Power Design: 12+1+1 Duet Rail Power System, 8+4 pin CPU power connectors, Core Boost, DDR4 Boost For PCIe options, the MPG Z390 Gaming plus has a total of 6 slots and two M.2 connections. The top M.2 is above the main PCIe slot and the second is just below the other x16 length slot. There are then four x1 length PCIe slots and two x16 length slots. The two x16 slots are listed in the specifications as full x16 slots without any notes but getting into the manual has more detail. I think MSI should have included this in the specifications though. So the red slot is a full x16 lane slot using CPU lanes. All of the X1 slots use PCH lanes and the second x16 length slot is PCH lanes AND it runs only at x4 bandwidth. So even though this board officially supports Crossfire (but no SLI) that X4 bandwidth isn’t really going to allow that. There is a third M.2 slot in the mix here as well just below the red X16 slot but this is shorter and only supports adding an Intel Wireless-AC(CNVi) module to add wireless support to the Z390 chipset.

LAN: Upgraded network solution for professional and multimedia use. Delivers a secure, stable and fast network connectionMSI Audio Boost Audio technology is powered by Realtek ALC892 chip which is a high-performance multi-channel High Definition Audio Codec that delivers an good audio listening experience with up to 95dB SNR. Additionally, the motherboard offers gigabit Ethernet interface type, which allows for high-speed connectivity. The audio output is provided through 7.1 channels, ensuring that the sound quality is good. The msi mpg z390 gaming plus is compatible with the Windows 10 operating system. MSI used dense and big aluminum heatsink in this board. Heatsinks base is having thermal pad installed. Component Layout
