MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5 ATX Motherboard
The MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5 ATX Motherboard is a high-performance motherboard designed for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts seeking powerful and reliable computing. Supporting Intel 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Core processors, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs, it utilizes the LGA 1700 socket combined with the Intel Z790 chipset for optimal performance and stability. The motherboard accommodates up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM across four slots, supporting memory speeds up to 7200+ MHz (OC) depending on the configuration, ensuring lightning-fast multitasking and overclocking potential. For graphics output, it offers one HDMI 2.1 port with HDR (4K 60Hz) and one DisplayPort 1.4 (8K 60Hz), perfect for high-resolution displays. Storage options are abundant with four M.2 slots, supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 devices of varying sizes and seven SATA 6Gb/s ports, all compatible with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations for both SATA and NVMe drives. Expansion capabilities include two PCIe x16 slots (x16/x4) and one PCIe x1 slot, allowing multiple GPU and high-speed peripheral setups. Networking is powered by Intel 2.5Gbps LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 6E, supporting MU-MIMO TX/RX, 2.4/5/6 GHz bands, and Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless wireless connectivity. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC4080 codec, delivering 7.1-channel USB high-performance audio, S/PDIF output, and up to 32-bit/384 kHz playback. Connectivity is extensive with a combination of USB 2.0, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, and 20Gbps Type-C/A ports, alongside comprehensive internal headers for fans, RGB lighting, TPM 2.0, and front-panel controls. Measuring 243.84mm x 304.8mm in the ATX form factor, the motherboard also features 4x EZ Debug LEDs for troubleshooting and easy system monitoring, making the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI a robust, future-ready platform for any high-end PC build.
