The MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard is an ATX board built on the Intel Z790 chipset for Intel Core 14th, 13th and 12th Gen processors, as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron, on the LGA1700 socket. The MAX edition is the refreshed version of the popular TOMAHAWK line, and its headline upgrades are Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 together with faster DDR5 memory support. It is a balanced choice for anyone who wants a strong Z790 platform for unlocked K-series processors without paying for a flagship board.
The board uses the MAG military-inspired look in black and grey, with an extended heatsink over the VRM and an M.2 Shield Frozr that attaches magnetically without screws to keep NVMe SSDs from throttling. A pre-installed I/O shield makes installation cleaner, and EZ Debug LEDs show where a boot problem comes from. It measures 30.5 × 24.4 cm, the standard ATX size.
The board supports DDR5 only and will not work with DDR4. For best results install two modules in the slots recommended by the manual and enable XMP in the BIOS. You need an ATX-compatible case and a PSU with a 24-pin plus two 8-pin CPU connectors to get the most out of Core i7 and Core i9 chips. The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs work only with processors that have integrated graphics (not F models).
This board suits gamers and creators building around a 13th or 14th Gen Core i5, i7 or i9 who want overclocking headroom, plenty of storage connections and modern Wi-Fi 7 without adding a separate network card.
