The MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI DDR4 motherboard supports 12th & 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors.
Form Factor: ATX
Socket Type: LGA 1700
Chipset: Intel Z790
With exclusive Core Boost technology, the MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI DDR4 is able to sustain heavy CPU power loads to support system-demanding game settings:
VRM Cooling: Features an extended heatsink and 7W/mK thermal pads.
SSD Cooling: M.2 Shield Frozr prevents thermal throttling.
System Cooling: Connect and synchronize cooling with strategically placed pin-headers - including a dedicated pump-fan header.
PCB Cooling: Premium 6-layer printed circuit design with 2 oz. thickened copper improves heat dissipation & reliability.
MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with SMT solder welding to improves signal clarity. When every advantage in games counts, Steel Armor also shields the point of contact from electromagnetic interference:
1 x PCI-e 5.0/4.0/3.0 x16 slot* (with Steel Armor**)
1 x PCI-e 4.0/3.0 x16 slot*
1 x PCI-e 3.0 x1 slot
*Support x16/x4
**MSI Surface Mount Technology (SMT) solder welding improves signal clarity.
Memory Boost: A fully-isolated DDR circuit delivers pure data signals for optimal gaming and overclocking performance.
Memory OC profiles in MSI BIOS are MSI OC LAB checked and can be easily enabled with auto power settings for optimized memory speed and stability.
*1DPC 1R Max. overclocking frequency 5333 MHz, supports Intel XMP.
The MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI DDR4 motherboard features MSI's Gen4 M.2 slots:
5 x Gen4 x4 64Gb/s slots
Even the world’s fastest SSDs will automatically slow if thermal throttling firmware detects excessively high temperatures.
Tool-Free M.2 Shield Frozr: MSI patented Shield Frozr cover feature a tool-free design so users don't have to worry about lost screws or overtightening.
2.5G LAN: An Intel 2.5Gbps LAN controller delivers a premium network gaming experience.
Wi-Fi 6E: Features the latest Wi-Fi 6E module (ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth) & Bluetooth 5.2 technology.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C: Connect to devices and transfer files at high bandwidth rates: 20Gb/s.
HD Audio: 7.1-Channel USB High Performance Audio with Audio Boost 5 & S/PDIF output.
