Description
MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI LGA 1700 DDR5 ATX Motherboard
SOLID PIN DESIGN
The 4-pin, 8-pin, and 24-pin power connectors of MSI motherboards are all designed with solid pins. The solid pin design allows for a more stable transmission of 12V power to the CPU, even when handling high current loads.
1. Improved stability : Larger contact area enhances stability during power delivery.
2. Low impedance : Solid pins offer low impedance, enabling efficient power flow.
3. Strong durability : The solid pin design ensures strong durability, capable of withstanding demanding conditions.
4. Suitable for high-current applications.
LATEST DDR5 MEMORY WITH SMT SLOT
A huge step of DDR performance enhancement with the latest DDR5 memory. Combines with dedicated SMT welding process and MSI Memory Boost technology, MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI is ready to deliver the world class memory performance.
The advanced SMT (Surface Mount Technology) welding process reduces the defect rate of slot solder joints, electromagnetism, and interference. Combining with exclusive Memory Boost technology allows MSI motherboards to deliver the clean and pure high-frequency DDR5 signal.




FAST AND FUTURE-READY STORAGE
MSI MPG series motherboards support all the latest storage standards, which allows users to connect any ultra-fast storage device. Start games faster, load levels faster and have a real advantage over your enemies.
