Socket LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard

The MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI is an ATX motherboard built for the Intel LGA 1700 socket. It supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors along with Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. The board runs DDR5 memory with overclocked speeds reaching 7200 MHz. Integrated Wi-fi 6E and 2.5G LAN provide modern connectivity options.

Builders choosing DDR5 and PCIe 5.0

This platform suits builders moving to DDR5 memory and wanting PCIe 5.0 bandwidth up to 128 GB/s for graphics or storage. The screwless M.2 Shield Frozr simplifies drive installation while keeping thermals in check. Buyers needing legacy DDR memory support or a smaller form factor should look at alternative boards.

DDR5 memory standard

The decisive specification is the DDR5 memory standard. Only DDR5 modules are compatible with this motherboard; other DDR generations will not fit or function. Ensure your memory kit matches this requirement before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the LGA 1700 socket mean I must already own a 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core processor for this motherboard to work?

Yes, the board supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors on the LGA 1700 socket; a compatible CPU is required.

Will the PCIe 5.0 slot and DDR5 memory standard work properly if I keep my older PCIe 3.0 graphics card and storage drives?

The PCIe 5.0 slot is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 devices, so an older graphics card will function at its rated speed.

How can I verify the Wi-fi 6E and 2.5G LAN are operating at their rated speeds after I finish the build?

Connect to a 6 GHz Wi-fi 6E router and run a speed test to see up to 2400 Mbps wireless throughput, and check the network adapter status for a 2.5 Gbps link.
