MSI MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II DDR5 13th Gen ATX Motherboard
Designed to leverage Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors, the MSI MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II LGA 1700 ATX Gaming Motherboard enhances the performance of your games while also offering a streamlined layout suitable for those looking to strike a balance between work and play.
Equip your rig with your choice of Intel Core processors with the LGA 1700 socket, giving you a stable platform across the rest of the motherboard's Z790 chipset. Four DDR5 RAM slots allow you to install up to 192GB of memory for greater multitasking and rendering efficiency. With six SATA III and five M.2 PCIe interfaces, you can create a massive library of assets and other important files for your creative needs. Install a wide range of graphics and utility cards with a series of expansion slots including one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16 (in x4 mode), and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. Between the back panel and internal connectors, you get access to various USB 2.0, 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2x2 Type-A and Type-C ports designed to support high-powered devices, displays, and more. Bluetooth 5.4 peripheral support allows you to connect devices wirelessly for a true cable-free experience. Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology allows you to upload files and download important assets over a wireless network and if you prefer a reliable wired connection, an enhanced 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port is available. The MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II supports Windows 10 and 11 operating systems.
Hardware Design
Designed to make the most out of Intel's Core processors, the MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II features an 8-layer PCB constructed from 2 oz thickened copper internals, two reliable 8-pin CPU power connectors, PCIe Steel Armor slots, Digital PWM, and 19+1+1 power layout to ensure electrical throughput suitable for handling high-powered components. Load-line calibration and overvoltage protection are also built into the motherboard, offering additional layers of electrical reliability.
Cooling Capabilities
To properly maintain thermal performance across your entire system, the MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II utilizes an extended MOSFET, VRM, PCH heat sinks, and direct-touch heat pipes to efficiently dissipate heat. A double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr thermal solution is designed to keep your M.2 storage drives safe, prolonging the lifespan of your files and installed systems. The MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II supports All-in-One (AiO) water cooling radiators for internal system and CPU cooling. Fan headers detect fans running in DC or PWM modes and optimize their performance to maintain silent operation without compromising performance. Additionally, you can manually adjust fan performance through the BIOS or use MSI's AI ENGINE to automatically detect CPU and GPU temperatures and react properly.
Performance Features
MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points to support the weight of heavy graphics cards. Leverage Lightning Gen 5 for M.2 storage drives, giving you up to 128 Gb/s transfer speeds, suitable for work programs and games. Memory slots utilize a dedicated SMT welding process with MSI Memory Boost technology to deliver enhanced multitasking performance. Resizable BAR (Re-Size BAR) is an advanced PCI Express feature that enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once and improve performance. Secure boot is a security standard to make sure that a device boots using only software that is trusted. When the PC starts, the firmware checks the signature of each piece of boot software, including UEFI firmware drivers, EFI applications, and the operating system. The PC boots while the signatures are valid.
Connectivity
The MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI II offers an array of ports, giving you enhanced file migration with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports, delivering data transfer speeds up to 5 and 10 Gb/s. The Lightning USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port offers data transfer speeds up to 20 Gb/s as well as DisplayPort video-out and Power Delivery, allowing you to use resource-demanding devices like storage arrays and displays.
Software Enhanced
Adjust various settings within the BIOS with a suite of MSI software utilities including Mystic Light, True Color, User Scenario, Hardware Monitoring, Profile Sharing, Fan Center, and System Diagnosis. AIDA64 Extreme is an application for system information, diagnostics, and benchmarks. With the application, you can monitor the detailed hardware and software information on a PC and save it to file in multiple formats such as CSV and HTML.
Audio Boost 5
Audio Boost 5 utilizes a high-definition ALC4080 Audio Processor to provide immersive audio whether you are working on a project, enjoying your favorite streaming media, or even playing some games. High quality audio capacitors and jacks with S/PDIF ensure optimal sound to your speakers. A dedicated headphone amplifier enhances private listening with De-Pop Protection which prevents the loud peaking sound when plugging in and removing your headset from the audio jack. Layers of the PCB contain their own audio channel to prevent crosstalk between paths for better, more full sound that reduces static and other abnormalities.
RGB Lighting
Splash on some color and vibrant RGB lighting effects using MSI Mystic Light with 16.8 million colors and fancy LED effects. MSI Mystic Light provides complete control of RGB lighting in your PC. The Mystic Light Extension pin header provides an intuitive way to control additional RGB strips and other RGB peripherals added to a system, without needing a separate RGB controller.
