MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard

The MSI X870ETOMAHAWKWIFI is an ATX motherboard that brings the AMD X870E chipset and AM5 socket together for builders who want a platform ready for Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors. A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot delivers the bandwidth required by the newest graphics cards, and four M.2 slots provide room for two PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 drives, giving gamers and content creators rapid load times and responsive project storage.

Four DDR5 DIMM slots handle up to 256 GB of memory and can reach 8400 MT/s when overclocked. Power delivery comes from a 14+2+1 phase VRM with 80 A smart power stages, and the 8-layer PCB uses 2 oz copper to keep signals clean and temperatures in check. Together, these elements keep high core count CPUs stable during extended gaming sessions, multi-stream video editing, or complex simulation workloads.

Connectivity is equally forward-looking. Integrated Wi-Fi 7 and a 5 GbE LAN port cover both wireless and wired networking at enthusiast-grade speeds. Dual rear USB4 ports offer up to 40 Gb/s for external drives and docking stations, while a front USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 header supplies 20 Gb/s to compatible cases. Audio, display, and legacy ports round out a back panel that supports varied setups from competitive esports rigs to studio workstations.

Building and maintenance are made easier by EZ M.2 Clip II for tool-less drive installation, an EZ PCIe release for quick graphics card removal, and a dedicated BIOS Flashback button that lets you update firmware without a CPU installed. These touches save time whether you are assembling a first PC or refreshing an existing one.
