Socket LGA 1700 ATX board

The MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 is an Intel Z790 motherboard built for LGA 1700 processors. It supports 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron chips. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs up to 5333 MHz overclocked with a maximum capacity of 128 GB.

Three PCIe slots and six SATA ports

The board provides three PCIe x16 slots: the top slot is Gen 5.0 from the CPU, the second is Gen 3.0 x1 from the chipset, and the third is Gen 4.0 x4 from the chipset. One PCIe x1 slot is also present. Six SATA III ports and four M.2 interfaces handle storage expansion.

2.5 Gbps LAN and 7.1 audio under load

Intel 2.5 Gbps LAN and Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel audio stay active during extended sessions. Rear USB includes four 2.0 ports, two 5 Gbps Type-A and one 10 Gbps Type-A. Front headers add four 2.0, four 5 Gbps Type-A, one 10 Gbps Type-C and one 20 Gbps Type-C.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained performance on the Intel Z790 chipset?

The Intel Z790 chipset links to the CPU over PCIe 3.0 x1, so heavy multi-device I/O can saturate that upstream lane before the CPU becomes the bottleneck.

How loud or hot does the Realtek ALC897 audio section get during all-day operation?

The Realtek ALC897 codec is a low-power audio controller; it adds negligible heat and produces no audible noise under continuous 7.1-channel playback.

Which DDR4 memory speed must I already have to reach the board's top rated frequency?

You need DDR4 modules rated for 5333 MHz overclocked operation to hit the maximum memory standard listed for this motherboard.
