The MSI Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR5 is engineered for gamers and power users who demand a balance of extreme speed and rock-solid stability. Built for the LGA 1700 socket, it provides full support for Intel Core 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen processors, ensuring your system is ready for the latest high-core-count CPUs. Performance is driven by an enhanced power design featuring a 14+1+1 Duet Rail Power System with DrMOS and dual 8-pin CPU power connectors. This robust delivery, paired with Core Boost and Memory Boost, allows the board to handle demanding workloads and overclocking with ease. To keep things cool under pressure, MSI has implemented a premium thermal solution including extended heatsinks and MOSFET thermal pads rated for 7W/mK, alongside Frozr AI Cooling for automated fan control.
