:I appended an "Assembled" Photo in the references section when I wrote the article. I'm somewhat new to writing wiki's so I wasn't quite too sure where/ how to append such information. But any included examples of a specific mainboard is also sort of missing the greater point, which is that the '''entire current product lineup''' from MSI has this hardware configuration. It's not just the Z890 board, it's ALL of them.

:::Thank you for looking! It seems to be only the higher end of their product line-up (MEG & MPG) has this new battery location, and only on their recently released boards. Prior to the 2025/2026 release cycle they all had standard mounts in obscure places. I have no issue with board designers hiding the battery out of view, behind the GPU or under a quick release NVME heat-sink, but not being able to even disconnect it for testing purposes without disassembling the whole top-side of the board makes the computer much more difficult to service. The whole reason I even noticed this, was my new MSI Box has had some stability issues, and I went to pull the CMOS batt, just to do a clean hard reset and had that ... "Wait... Where is it?" , moment. Which led to research, nagging my friend who owns a computer repair shop about it, etc etc. [[User:LizzyLamia|LizzyLamia]] ([[User talk:LizzyLamia|talk]]) 16:18, 1 March 2026 (UTC) | :::Thank you for looking!

This is obviously well put together article, and a relevant repairability issue, but I have concerns about its notability, since this seems to be original research by the author (see: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Wiki_content_policies#Verifiability). | This is obviously well put together article, and a relevant repairability issue, but I have concerns about its notability, since this seems to be original research by the author (see: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Wiki_content_policies#Verifiability). | ||
