A full-length premium ATX motherboard with an LGA 1700 processor socket, a high-quality power subsystem, all kinds of protection for critical batteries and all the necessary tools for air/liquid cooling and comprehensive RGB/ARGB lighting. It is a representative of the premium MSI MPG series of 2023, the capabilities of which can fully satisfy the needs of 95% of video game fans; it is not suitable only for extreme experiments with overclocking HEDT systems.

MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI is powered by Intel Z790 higher order system logic and has an Intel LGA 1700 socket for installing the processor. Supports 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel processors (Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, Raptor Lake Refresh) . One of the key differences from previous MSI MAG models is support for the PCI-E 4th and 5th generation system bus. This factor allows you to install several modern M.2 SSDs with linear read and write speeds above 5000 MB/s.

As an alternative to M.2, there are 4 more conventional SATA3 connectors for connecting classic drives (HDD 3.5” or SSD 2.5”). For connecting RAM, there are 4 DIMM slots that support installation of up to 192 GB of DDR5 RAM with an impressive maximum frequency of 7600 MHz. The use of a high-quality 21-phase digital power converter with an enlarged heatsink and Load-Line power circuit calibration will allow you to fully realize the full speed potential of multi-core Intel Core processors.

Built-in Core Boost technology helps to precisely manipulate the processor voltage, creating ideal conditions for overclocking the CPU. To ensure high stability and security of the system, the board is equipped with a protective complex, including proprietary VRM zone radiators, heat pipes, Shield Frozr radiators for M.2 SSD drives, tools for diagnosing system problems and numerous thermal sensors. Frozr AI intelligent cooling system can effectively regulate the temperature in the background, ensuring stable system operation.
