MSI Pro Z790-P Motherboard Review (Intel 13th-Gen 13900K + 13600K Tested)

[@scarumanga]

So far a great board and it looks really nice. I got one paired with the i5 13600k and 32gb of corsair vengeance 5600 cl36. No issues getting it running. I got it for gaming with my 4080.

The 12th gen CPUs were originally 600 series 13 and 14 were supposed to be for the 700 series the 700 series came out about 1 month after the 12th gen series was supposed to be for the test to make sure that the boards would support the CPUs before they made the 13th of 14 then when they made the 13th of 14 gen was on the horizon so they just went ahead and made all of the 13 and 14 gen boards ddr5 and the 12th gen boards ddr4 you can put a 12 gen and a ddr5 because it's the same LGA type

BIOS always POST, he said he received unsupported processor error. You go to another PC, download the latest BIOS on the USB drive from the MSI website, plug that in to the new PC with new motherboard, go into BIOS and update. Now 13th Gen Intel CPU will be supported. How can you flash BIOS if it isn't even POSTing. ugh!

do you think the ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi D4 motherboard is just as good as this board? If you had to choose which one to buy out of the 2 which would you choose?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

It’s a tough one coz this board has PCIE 5 for the M.2 slot and the ASUS one has PCIE 5 x16 slot. They both don’t have the combined M.2 and x16 PCIE 5. So if you’re planning on gaming and getting a 40-series somewhere along the lines I would say the ASUS one. I would personally go with ASUS because the Gen4 M.2 is already blazing fast. I could live with it. Rather that than get a board that doesn’t support a GPU now or even next year’s releases.

[@EasyMoneySG]

​@@GLITCHEDZA If youre going with a 13th gen intel, stay away from that Prime board. you cant flash bios on that one without a 12th gen processor lying around to boot into so you can flash for the 13th gen. The MSI board has a button to allow you to flash the bios without a CPU installed. I was looking at the "A" version of the ASUS prime, and the MSI PRO and went with the PRO since i could flash without a processor. Build is in progress. Slow holiday shipping.

I have the Max version of this board in my 12600k PC. Works great. I haven't tried to OC it yet, but I think Im gonna turn it up a little bit and see how it goes. Problem is I really dont know what Im doing, but there are plenty of videos online, many using this exact setup, so it shouldnt be too bad. I have it under a 360 AIO, so I dont think Itll be too bad.

[@GLITCHEDZA]

you can so some slight overclocking in the BIOS or even install an Intel AI overclock tool. But if you slowly nudge it bit by bit, you should not have any problem. The good thing is you can't break anything with subtle overclocking. If things don't work you can always revert it back. good luck!

[@stephenhood2948]

@@GLITCHEDZA Is the Intel AI overclocking tool something anyone can download?? Or only people with certain hardware combos?? The part I don't understand and worry me is messing with the voltages. I don't know what a ring voltage is. I didn't see any AI overclocking options in my bios. Thanks for the help!! I se some P cores are at a different clock speed than other P cores, would I be OK clocking them all the same??

[@stephenhood2948]

@@GLITCHEDZA Hey thanks for the help. I downloaded the Intel Extreme Tuner and it auto overclocked my CPU for me, just like you said. I'm running a 12600k at base frequencies of 4.9 and 3.9 on the P and E cores with a voltage offset of 0.25. I'm sure I could go further, and may in the future, but I was hoping to keep this setup for as long as possible and have no idea how far is too far. The Intel XTU made it so much easier than overclocking through the bios or MSI Creator.

[@GLITCHEDZA]

@@stephenhood2948 Sorry I missed your previous reply I am travelling. but I am glad you managed to get it to work and it was easy. Remember that most Intel CPUs, like the one you have come overclocked already. That's why they run so hot. They are actually quite hard to get running "much" faster than they already are. So I think your subtle tweaking is perfect.

[@stephenhood2948]

@@GLITCHEDZA Again, thanks for the help. I have a 12600k under a 360 AIO, so the cooling is probably a bit overkill, but Im ready for an i7 or i9 later if I want. Without the overclock my CPU temp never even moved from idle while gaming, though I was maxxing out an RTX 4070 with 20% CPU usage. If I run some benchmarking tools I would get 100% CPU usage and temps in the 60s with around 90 watts on the CPU. After the OC I ran prime 95 and got the temp into the mid 70s with 130 watts. I can probably go a little further, but this is my first time Overclocking with anything other than Afterburner on a GPU. Like you, it already boosts, and Im getting 90-100 FPS at 1440p Ultra settings without an OC. Ill probably just run it without the OC, I just wanted some benchmarks with the OC. I am having a weird thing with my GPU. Its a Galax RTX 4070. Sometimes its fine and sometimes the fan wont come on when gaming. Its easy to see the 11 FPS with no fan running. Restarting the game, sometimes the PC or sometimes the Galax extreme tuner OC tool is what it takes to get the fan going. I might try to delete the Galax tuning software and go with Afterburner, or even just run it with no OC. IDk why it does that though??

I get so much conflicting info on max CPU temps. I have this board in an IBP prebuild with a 13900KF. Common benchmarks also shoot temps up to 99/100C almost immediately. Idles around 50C which seems way high. You had similar max temps. Was your cpu throttling at that point? Is there any way to better cool this CPU/MB combo? Some people say this will fry fast at these temps while others say different. I see your bench with a pretty decent cooler still at water boiling temps. What was your idle temp on the 13900? What standard should I be applying? Thanks.

[@leilanirocks]

@@yellowisthemellow Thanks. I found the OOTB fan/pump curve in BIOS was way off for idle temps. I tweaked that and idles 29-30 now. Next is to try to get those high temps down.

[@fanulifanulis7798]

Which power supply works ? 4x 8 pin needed ?

[@Chaos_God_of_Fate]

It has 2 8 pin connectors but unless you're pulling more than 300 watts on the CPU you don't need the second 8 pin connector. I'm running this board with a 12600kf and I only use one of the 8 pin connectors, the second is mostly for the top CPUs and even then it's still enough if you're not overclocking- that's mainly what the second 8 pin connector is for (each can pull 300 so you can potentially run a CPU at 600 watts if you have the right PSU, which is kinda nuts, my current PSU is only 500 watts!

[@terraincognitagaming]

But all z790 boards support Raptor Lake (Intel 13) out of the box so i dont understand that argument that you need to update bios before you can do so?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

The CPU isn't the issue really. It is the lack of RAM support. When I first installed everything it would not boot up. Not sure if this was RAM or CPU but previously, I built DDR 5 RAM PCs which did not work unless the BIOS was updated to support the RAM.

Unfortunately, the CPU you have are quite old and won't work on this motherboard. This board is made for a 12th or 13th Gen Intel CPU. I would suggest waiting until you have the cash to get the CPU and motherboard in one go. Else you'll be sitting with a motherboard and no CPU. The GPU will work but it will be constrained by the performance of PCIE 4 on this board. So basically, you'll need the CPU and motherboard first. The GPU will work but definitely upgrade it later on to a PCIE 4 card.

@@modyghalyasi Hi! This looks all good. All the parts should work together. What cooler are you going to get? If it is a fan one, just make sure to upgrade it later down the line to a liquid cooler version if you are able to. These 13th-gen CPUs run very hot.

[@modyghalyasi]

@@GLITCHEDZA Great, so this PC would give me a performance I need for memory wise? or do you think I should go for 64gb memory and down grade something else?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

@@modyghalyasi I don't think 64GB is needed tbh. Unless you're doing heavy production content that requires that.

@@GLITCHEDZA do i just download it on to a usb stick and put it in the pc?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

@@cosmicvcosmic Yes you download the update extract it from the zip file, put it onto the USB, plug it in. You need to boot the PC up and press delete to enter the BIOS settings. There, you'll find an option to update the BIOS. It will show you the USB file contents, go through the files and find the update you copied. Let it install.

@@GLITCHEDZA thanks! hope you have a good day🙃

@@cosmicvcosmic did you figure it out? I’m having the same problem. I fixed it but now it’s not picking up a network adapter and I can’t connect to internet.

Can amd be used

[@GLITCHEDZA]

No this is an Intel board sadly. You'll need to get the AMD equivalent.

did you end up keeping it? how has it performed?

@@MrHeart12 To be honest I cant compare it to others but I can play all the games I want and they run amazing. I have i7 13700k, 32gb 6000mhz, and a rtx 4080

@@AdrianGE98 thats pretty much what i will be running with it as well. thanks for the info.

[@Thehubb1]

Few motherboards are going to necessarily get in the way of gaming. There are much more important factors that go into gaming performance. The least of which is the MOBO

I’m running this board with intel i5 12600k, AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Phantom Gaming, vetroo v5 cpu cooler, Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe, trident Z will I need to update the bios with build?

ese modelo es conpatible con amd por eso dice error

Bit clumsy putting that CPU in ...🫣

[@getawaydriver101]

LMAO I installed my CPU and then updated my bios with the computer that I was using that needed the BIOS update I was able to log in and use it it ran kind of wonky but I was able to get it up and running by doing a and then I had to do a bypass obey command for network drivers because Windows is finicky with network drivers

[@ryqarst4690]

This board is a giant turd, unstable AF with a 14700k. The default settings are garbage.

[@daddy45658]

What is this used for

[@getawaydriver101]

Yeah I was able to get my computer up and running with a 14th gen without an update and then updated the bios 😅 but hey it worked I mean it's all that matters if you can get it up and working..
