PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI offers a simple design with a harmonious silver color scheme that perfectly matches white and black PC builds. It is engineered with many exclusive features of MSI, a convenient Wi-Fi 7 solution, and DDR5 optimization for Intel® Core™ 14th Gen and 13th Gen processors.

Extended Heatsink
Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation and maintain the performance at heavy loads.

M.2 Shield Frozr
Strengthened M.2 thermal solution helps keep M.2 SSD safe and ensures incredible performance.

Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink
The VRM heatsink covers the upper MOS and helps dissipate the heat.

7W/mK Thermal Pad & Additional Choke Pad
High-quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and additional choke thermal pads ensure stable performance when all cores are runnging at high speed.

Enlarged Chipset Heatsink
The enlarged heatsink is designed to reduce dust and noise and capable of maintaining high efficiency of heat dissipation.

SMT PCIE 5.0 SLOT
The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) PCIE slot diminish interference and electrical noise, fully support the PCI-E 5.0 signal.

THE ISOLATED ANALOGY STRUCTURE FOR AUDIO CONNECTORS
To provide clear voice, MSI develops a unique structure – Isolated Analogy Structure. The external metal framework of the audio connectors is separated from the internal layout, which ensures the sound quality crisp.
