Description

The MSI Z790 PROJECT ZERO WIFI DDR5 Motherboard redefines PC building with its back-connect design, relocating all power connectors and headers to the rear for a streamlined appearance. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also simplifies cable management, making it ideal for showcase builds. Supporting Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors via the LGA 1700 socket, it offers four DDR5 DIMM slots accommodating up to 192GB of memory, with speeds reaching 7200+ MHz (OC). The motherboard features a 14+1+1 Duet Rail Power System, ensuring stable power delivery for high-performance components. Connectivity is robust, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Intel 2.5Gbps LAN providing fast and reliable networking options. Storage needs are met with six SATA 6Gb/s ports and four M.2 slots supporting PCIe 4.0 x4, catering to various storage configurations. Additional features include Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel HD audio, multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, and comprehensive cooling solutions with extended heatsinks and M.2 Shield Frozr. The motherboard’s ATX form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of cases, especially those designed to accommodate the back-connect layout.
