MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI ATX Motherboard

The MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z790 chipset. It supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors through the LGA 1700 socket, giving you a solid platform for everything from everyday office tasks to demanding content creation.

Four DDR5 slots let you install up to 192 GB of memory, and speeds up to 7800 MHz keep large datasets and multitasking workloads moving smoothly. Whether you run virtual machines, edit high-resolution video, or play modern games, the board has the memory headroom to keep pace.

Storage is flexible. Six SATA III ports cover larger hard drives and SATA SSDs, while four M.2 slots handle high-speed NVMe drives. Two of those M.2 connectors accept both PCIe 4.0 and SATA modules, so you can mix older drives with the latest models as your needs evolve.

For expansion, the primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is ready for next-generation graphics cards that thrive on high bandwidth. Additional PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 slots let you add capture cards, high-speed network adapters, or other peripherals without crowding the build.

Networking and external connectivity are strong suits. Wi-Fi 7 provides fast, low-latency wireless performance, while the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port offers a stable wired option for creators who rely on quick file transfers. Rear I/O includes USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C for 20 Gbps external drives, multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports for peripherals, and legacy USB 2.0 for keyboards or UPS units.

Realtek ALC4080 audio outputs clean 7.1-channel sound, and the optical S/PDIF connector supports receivers or DACs. Built-in BIOS Flashback simplifies firmware updates, and debug LEDs help diagnose issues during a first-time build or later upgrades. Altogether, the PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI fits well in professional workstations, high-refresh-rate gaming rigs, and home labs that need reliable performance with room to grow.
