Z790 ATX Motherboard with LGA 1700 Socket

This MSI PRO Z790-S WIFI motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket for 13th Gen Intel Core processors. It follows the ATX form factor and supports DDR5 memory up to 256 GB. The package includes the board and an I/O shield only.

For DDR5 Builders Needing One PCIe 5.0 Slot

This board suits builders assembling a DDR5 system with a single graphics card in the PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot. It provides two M.2 slots and a DisplayPort output. Buyers who require multiple PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, more than two M.2 drives, or bundled accessories such as driver discs or SLI bridges should look elsewhere.

One PCI Express 5.0 x16 Slot Decides Fit

The single PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot is the specification that determines whether this motherboard matches the build. If the design calls for one primary GPU at that speed, the board fits. If the plan requires two or more such slots, this model will not work.

Questions about this item

Will the PRO Z790-S WIFI fit in my existing ATX case and power supply?

The board uses the standard ATX form factor with a 24-pin ATX power connector and 8-pin CPU power connector, matching the mounting holes and power cables of any ATX chassis and PSU you already own.

How can I confirm the board is running at PCIe 5.0 x16 speeds after I install a graphics card?

Enter the UEFI and check the PCIe link width and speed readout for the primary x16 slot; it should show x16 at 5.0 GT/s when a PCIe 5.0 card is seated and the system is under load.

Which cables and antennas come in the box so I know what to buy separately?

The package includes the motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 screws and standoffs, and the Wi-Fi antenna; you will need to purchase a CPU cooler, DDR5 memory modules, storage drives and any additional case fans or RGB accessories separately.
