MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WiFi: when everything goes RIGHT!

[@wyattazcooks]

I haven't upgraded my two computers in years (10700k & 980ti / 6700k & 970) but I still watch your channel to keep up with hardware. No crazy clickbait, just informative and well-researched reviews with nice humor and practical takeaways. Maybe retrospectively review some older cards or CPUs? Keep up the great content, Laurent.

[@Laurentschoice]

Sure things. What would you like to watch ?

HI SEEN FULL VIDEO AND PLS SAY for I7 13700K, 4070 super. Is motherboard msi pro z790a max wifi enough for it or should i go with msi mag z790 tomahawk max wifi.

[@testingequipment2299]

Hello! Tell me how to configure the processor on this motherboard, limit it by voltage and so on. It's just that in games the temperature rises to 100C. I set the processor voltage to 1.2, the temperature dropped, but the fps also dropped

[@infamouschris8607]

Good review and very nice board! Unfortunately I'm a little unsure, as you said, it's entry level and the VRM's/temperatures worry me a little. Would you rather recommend the MSI MPG Z690 Edge WiFi (currently costs 80 bucks less)? I would like to run it with an i5 14600k, focus on Gaming. Many thanks if you can help me with this decision.

So populating the M.2_1 with a gen 4 SSD, will not reduce the number of lane for PCIe_1 slot where the GPU goes?

[@tarunchalla7031]

I just love the way u talk just perfect and really accurate stuff.

[@getawaydriver101]

I bought a zMAX bored as well the 80 mg is nice and if you're running 11 fans if you're running an air-cooled model it does help it has lots of different connection ports in the two PCI You can turn the low frequency PCI slots into USB slots So you can give yourself more USB slots for like your mouse your keyboard steering wheel if you're doing stuff like that So they've really just depends on what you're really wanting to do But the one is actually eight gig and the one below it I believe is four gig..

[@getawaydriver101]

[@olidixon9487]

think about upgrading your PSU bro, 750W is enough to run on for this build, yes. but the less capacity of your PSU you use will increase the lifespan and energy efficiency :)

[@darkman237]

Would you please review the GIGABYTE B650M AORUS Elite AX and how well it works for gaming, productivity, etc looking at 8000 and upcoming 9000 cpus please.

[@robertmiles9942]

This board has one possible advantage over the high-end MAG Tomahawk MAX WiFi: On the MAG, if you put an NVMe into the primary slot next to the CPU, your GPU PCIe link will be cut from 16x to 8x. This is due to the implementation of PCIe Gen 5 on that NVMe slot. There's NO way around this except to not install an SSD there. Any SSD installed there, even if it's only a 4.0 or 3.0 device, will nerf your GPU link. This is not MSI's fault, it's a limitation of the number of PCIe 5.0 lanes available on this platform generation. PCIe gen 5 drives have their issues, but are becoming more relevant. Degraded GPU link brings perhaps a few percent framerate costs. Ultimately it's up to you to decide where you prefer to compromise, but realize that if you do get a board with 5.0 NVMe slot, and you want to use all four slots, that choice is made for you. Me, I run the PRO MAX with all four slots populated with Gen 4 NVMe (three of these in RAID) and my GPU at full 16X link. This configuration would not be possible on the Tomahawk.

[@fernandomilani9450]

So I can go fully decided to buy a MSI PRO Z790-A MAX than the MAG Tomahawk.. it's more cheaper and I can fully use all NVMe slots without the PCI link issue??

[@robertmiles9942]

@@fernandomilani9450 Yep. PCIe gen 4.0 for all four NVMe slots at the same time with x16 link speed on the GPU.

[@Laurentschoice]

Yeah, the AORUS ELITE X is miles ahead! Nothing can dethrone that one (or maybe the TOMAHAWK MAX I am filming today.. that one will give it a run for its money!)

[@kennethmcclellan2034]

I have the same board paired with a 14700k and it has been awesome!

[@CristoforoBonissone]

@@Laurentschoice I think the way the motherboard's USB ports are designed is also very important. Personally I believe that MSI is not steel clear on how the USB's port bus should be better designed, I think there are some old knots that have not yet been resolved. I have many different brands motherboards on hand... but when I use the USB ports on the MSI boards (more than one port) I always have .....a headache. 😂

[@yuan.pingchen3056]

I have a MSI Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI keeping unused over 3 months, because of Intel 13/14 crash issue, finally I found the i5-13500 may be safe, because of it's L2 cache is the same with Alder-lake, this brings another issue to me, I hope I can have the most option in my z790 motherboard bios... so I still haven't buy my CPU....

[@Laurentschoice]

I'm reviewing that model today. Can you give me more details ... I'll try to troubleshoot it during my review for u

[@yuan.pingchen3056]

@@Laurentschoice Buying i5-13500 is very simple. As long as I buy it, I don't need to worry about the CPU being burned out. But at this time, my mental state is in an unsatisfied state. I want to have the most bios options once I buy i5-13500. If Intel or MSI release a complete solution to the Raptor-lake K version processor, I will have to sell the existing i5-13500 processor and buy an i7-14700K (I think this model has the same VRM capacity as TOMAHAWK Comparable match) The reality is that Intel cannot solve the problem and let the motherboard factory guys admit the harm from the end users and want a smooth transition to the next processor generation. This puts me in the Hamlet state of whether I should buy a processor or not.

[@Hunter961]

I have this motherboard and still there's no update to address issues with intel's microcode. I use my backup PC to keep my i5 14600K from degradation because I'm not in the mood to swich my entire platform to AMD because my CPU may eventually die because of intel's failure. I would never ever choose a MSI board. I regret i didn't go to an ASUS motherboard, mainly because of lack of updates for the last few months.

6layer pcb, bläääh. Memory oc or even ram at high xmp profiles will suffer. 8 layers at least is needed.

[@Laurentschoice]

We re fine here with 6...don't forget 8 is great .... But it really costs more to manufacture .. and on this board it would not make that much of a difference. But I do take your point in. Hopefully, 8 layers will become the standard even on sub 300 boards.

[@Pillokun]

@@Laurentschoice 6layer is usually not capable of hitting 7200stable, 6800mt/s is usually max. Then people complain that the cpu is not good when it is the mobo.
