MSI’s Z790 and B760 motherboards paired with Intel® Core™ Next-gen, 13th Gen, and 12th Gen Processors are here to bring even more performance and fine-tuning on the success of the last generation of Processors. As a world-leading motherboard brand, MSI’s Z790 MAX Series motherboards are designed to provide the very best performance for gamers and creators.
MSI Z790 MAX Product Features
MSI Z790 MAX Series motherboards have a strong lineup of power phase design boards across every model ranging from our flagship MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX that has 26 Duet Rail Power System CPU power phases with 105A SPS to even our entry-level PRO Series motherboard that has increased up to 16 DRPS CPU power phases with 80A SPS.
In addition to such a powerful power phase design, the Z790 MAX Series motherboards have an array of innovative designs that can help cut down on the building process for users. All models across the Z790 MAX series motherboards feature the latest wireless network solution “Wi-Fi 7” which doubles the amount of bandwidth to 320MHz and up to a max theoretical speed of 5.8 Gbps. It enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across multiple frequency bands and channels to ease the traffic flow from a growing amount of wireless devices. Wi-Fi 7 improves the QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) from 1024-QAM to 4096-QAM to help boost peak transmission rate and increase its network capacity.
Z790 MAX gaming series motherboards fully support PCIe 5.0 M.2 and support Screwless M.2 Shield Forzr, making installations or upgrades more convenient. In addition, the MEG series is equipped with magnetic design, eliminating the need to reconnect the RGB cable when replacing M.2.
All MPG & MEG Z790 models will feature a brand new connection that MSI is introduction, which is called the JAF1 Header. A hybrid header allows users to gain an extra additional ARGB and Fan Header with just a single cable.
There is also an all-new USB 4.0 PD100W Expansion Card that was debuted during Computex 2023 and now it is ready for everyone to have their hands on it. The USB 4.0 PD100W Expansion Card uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, offering two USB 4.0 ports and two DP 1.4 in-ports. The USB 4.0 not only provides high-speed connectivity at up to 40Gbps but it also supports a maximum of 100W of Power Delivery with compatible devices.
MEG Series
For this MEG MAX Series offers two models to choose from, the MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX and MEG Z790 ACE MAX. The last generation, the MEG Z790 Series brought out many features that took it to a whole new level. For the brand new MEG MAX Series, MSI is bringing them all back and even more.
The MEG 790 MAX Series will support up to 26+2 DRPS Power Phase Design with 105A SPS. With an all-new generation of VRM Cooling, the all-aluminum covers a stack of Wavy Fin Array-Designs, a U-Shape VRM Heatsink with Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe and 7W/mk Thermal and Choke pads for extreme cooling efficiency. With all these features, it doesn’t stop, it also comes with Lightning Gen 5.0 PCIe & Gen 5.0 M.2 support 128GB/s of bandwidth for maximum speed and performance.
Both MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX and ACE MAX feature MSI’s patented Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr with Magnetic for the perfect ease of installation. The M-Vision Dashboard is back on a 4.5” display to showcase your system information and perform one touch overclock to boost even more performance.
