Premium Power
Design.

14+1+1 Duet Rail Power System with DrMOS integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs into single packages — clean delivery, sustained performance for high-end Intel processors. Dual 8-pin CPU power connectors + exclusive MSI Core Boost technology = fully digital power design with pin-point precision current delivery. Premium PCB layout primes the board for overclocking + multi-core CPUs.

DDR5
Boosted.

A huge leap with latest DDR5 memory — combined with MSI's dedicated SMT welding process + exclusive Memory Boost technology for world-class memory performance. Advanced Surface Mount Technology reduces slot solder joint defect rate, electromagnetism, and interference — clean, pure high-frequency DDR5 signals up to 7200+ MT/s OC. XMP profiles in MSI BIOS are MSI OC LAB optimized — one-click enable for stability + speed.

Lightning Fast
Storage.

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with Steel Armor reinforcement for next-gen graphics cards — twice the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0, supports the heaviest GPUs. 4× M.2 Gen 4 x4 slots deliver up to 64 Gbps each. M.2 Shield Frozr — MSI's most advanced thermal solution — prevents thermal throttling, ensures maximum SSD transfer speed even under sustained load. 6× SATA 6 Gb/s ports for additional storage expansion.

Frozr
Cooling.

Extended VRM heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation — maintains performance under heavy loads. High-quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads + additional choke thermal pads ensure stable performance with all cores running at high speed. Chipset heatsink reduces dust + noise while maintaining PCH efficiency. Strategically positioned fan headers + dedicated pump-fan header for AIO cooling support.

20 Gb/s.
Type-C.

USB 3.2 has never been faster — Rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C delivers up to 20 Gbps for ultrafast external drives. Intel Turbo USB 3.2 Gen 2 ensures uninterrupted connection with maximum stability + fastest USB speeds. Plus a Front USB Type-C connector for modern cases — connect the latest peripherals up front. Total 17 USB ports across rear + front headers.

Pro Networking.
Zero Lag.

Upgraded network solution for professional and multimedia use — secure, stable, fast. Latest Intel WiFi 6E module taps the dedicated 6 GHz band with ultra-low latency + high bandwidth. Bluetooth 5.3 for the latest wireless peripherals. Intel 2.5 Gbps LAN controller delivers a premium gaming experience — 2.5× faster than standard Gigabit.

Steel Armor.
Heavy GPU Ready.

MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points — built to support the weight of heavy graphics cards like the RTX 4090 / 5090. When every gaming advantage counts, Steel Armor also shields the contact point from electromagnetic interference — keeps signal integrity rock solid.

Audio Boost.
Hear Every Step.

Reward your ears with immersive gaming sound. Realtek ALC897 codec with 7.1-Channel HD Audio + MSI Audio Boost — premium audio capacitors + isolated PCB layers + EMI shielding. Hear every footstep, every gunshot, every direction with crystal clarity. Gold-plated audio jacks for distortion-free output.

Build It Easy.
Boost It Faster.

Engineered for gamers + builders. EZ Debug LED diagnoses CPU / RAM / GPU / boot issues at startup. MSI Game Boost enables one-second overclocking — what you set is what you get. MSI Center software centralizes monitoring, fan control, RGB, and one-click optimization. Pre-mounted I/O shield + clear silk-screen labels for stress-free assembly.

Light It Up.
Sync It All.

MSI Mystic Light + addressable JRGB / JARGB headers sync RGB across the entire MSI ecosystem — motherboard, GPU, case, peripherals. 16.7M colors, multiple effect modes, and full integration with third-party RGB devices via MSI Center.

By the Numbers

Built for the
Competitive.

14+1+1 DrMOS, four M.2 with Shield Frozr, Memory Boost DDR5 7200+, USB Gen 2x2 — the Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi balances gaming performance, premium thermals, and value for serious Intel builders.
