MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi II Gaming Motherboard (Supports 12th/13th/14th Gen Intel Processors, LGA 1700, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, M.2, 2.5Gbps LAN, USB 3.2 Gen2, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, ATX)

Beautiful, Easy to Set Up, and High Quality
I bought this motherboard as part of a new PC build I completed over the weekend, and I am honestly very impressed with it so far. Actually installing the RAM, NVME, GPU, CPU etc. was very simple and straight forward (as it tends to be if you’ve built many PCs before like I have). Booting up the PC for the first time and entering the BIOS was simple, the BIOS layout and options are robust and easy to navigate, and just like that I was booting into my Windows 11 install USB within minutes. I had literally no hiccups installing, setting up, and using this motherboard as of yet.What I Like:———————————————–1. Motherboard is heavy, feels durable2. 1st NVME slot cover is released by a pressure switch instead of screws2. NVME locks are more intuitive than using a screw to hold the NVME against the board3. PLENTY of USB ports4. Onboard Wi-Fi works well (I merely tested it for a couple of hours as I use ethernet mainly)5. RGB lights behind the dragon logo are pretty and easily customizable with MSI’s app6. Digital diagnostic LED display is an added bonus, traditional diagnostic lights still exist as wellThere is not really anything I dislike about this board so far, the only thing I would change is I would have all the NVME covers use the pressure switch release like the first one does. Overall it is a great board for the price point, and I would highly recommend it.

Quality built Tank
This thing is money for the cost and functionality. Highly recommend. Although I suggest lift weights to train prior to purchasing, it’s heavy.

Perfect for upgrade!
Took a little while to upgrade and came across this product. My GPU was the only thing that stayed and was already MSI (2070 Super).MSI was a top tier brand already in my opinion. After researching and learning about all this mobo has to offer I decided to pull the trigger. Haven’t looked back since and couldn’t be more happier.BIOS is easy to navigate and understand, UI is pretty updated, from the multiple storage slots to the codes displayed on the mobo itself, this was more than what I was looking for. RGB (which wasn’t a main factor for me) was pretty cool and easy to operate, the board felt pretty solid and durable and is pretty big, east to connect all cables and felt secure. Biggest thing for me was the “clear CMOS” button and the DDR5.If you’re looking to upgrade or are thinking about this mobo for your chipset, I say pull the trigger yourself and find that you won’t be disappointed.

Great motherboard that is fast and reliable
I got this motherboard back in October and have been loving it since.For those who are getting this motherboard to take advantage of the Gen5 M.2, I had to put my drive in the next slot down from the closest to the CPU to get my full speeds. I have 2 M.2 drives and none of them sit in that top slot. Kind of a bummer considering the extra effort MSI put into the latch mechanism for the heat shield.For those who have more than one GPU, be wary of the case you have. I have a case with a bottom-mounted PSU that rests nearly touching the bottom of the motherboard. This means that my second GPU cannot fit in the bottom PCI slot. I had to suffice with only 1 GPU. My other one sits on a shelf now.Overall, I would recommend this motherboard. The built-in Wi-Fi works really well, too!
