I recently built a gaming rig, and decided to use this motherboard. Currently runs with an i9-14900k and so far never had any issues. One thing I like so much about this motherboard is that it isn't tacky looking and non-gimicky branding stamps on it like other brands. I like a simple looking motherboard with no nonsense LED's on it. Also the MSI BIOS is such an easy BIOS to work on. They made it so easy to configure your settings compared to other brands like Gigabyte or ASUS. If you're looking for a mid to high end Motherboard for gaming or daily usage, then I recommend purchasing this. It's all worth it.

I could not have designed a better motherboard. What do I love about this.1) The ARGB headers are in intuative locations. Allows efficient connection of devices.2) 6 separate PWM fan headers. The layout could have been numbered a little differnet (for example, I would have put fan #1 nearest to the CPU and Pump headers, but this is minor.3) The M.2 slots are amazing. The screwless retaining are novel and work fairly well. The integrated heat sinks are a bonus.4) Quality is first rate.5) Flash BIOS able to be done without CPU installed. Ensuring most compatibility with latest processors and updates.6) The back panel I/O has incredible options. Plenty of fast USB-3.0, and USB-C x 2 connectors. The flash BIOS functionality and CMOS clearing are thoughtfully added.No concerns at all with MB. Highest quality in build and design for a reasonable price makes this the go to MB for 14900K (or other LGA1700 CPUs).

To preface this, my original motherboard was an MSI Z690 -A Wi-Fi Pro. I replaced it with this current product. My build has the following: Z790 Tomahawk, MSI RTX 3080 Ventus OC 10G 3X, Kingston Fury 64GB DDR5 RAM (2x32), i7-14700KF, two W_D SN850X SSD, and the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80 Plus Gold for the PSU.Originally, I bought this motherboard as a gaming and performance upgrade. Needless to say, it was money well spent. I'll start off with the good, then the bad.The good:1. The packaging was superb. When opening the box, I was greeted with the motherboard, a USB with drivers and BIOS updates, a Wi-Fi screw in, and the various cords and manuals. When registering for the warranty, the serial number was on the side of the box, saving me time from having to look for it.2. Installation was a breeze. I put this mobo in the Lian Li Lancool 216 case with no issues whatsoever. Installation took roughly 45 minutes at most.3. When first turned on, it took about a minute to initialize. Afterward, it recognized my drive, and I was up and running quite quickly. With that mentioned, the performance of the board is exceptionally well, when configured properly. Gaming is flawless, with no issues whatsoever.4. While the WI-FI has issues (more on that in "The bad"), the speeds I typically find with Fiber go up to 1 gig+ with an Ethernet connection. With the current drivers, my speeds stay consistent.The bad:1. As previously mentioned, I needed to configure certain settings in order for the board to run properly. Without XMP, the board had issues running certain performance heavy tasks. Aside from that, Resizable Bar needed to be turned on, alongside secure boot (not sure why that was off in the first place?).2. As others have mentioned, there are some WI-FI stability issues. My solution for fast speeds and proper stability required me to uninstall the drivers, then install the newest via the MSI website. Also, an Ethernet connection will improve your speeds greatly, regardless of the board. While the box did come with a LAN setup, I used my old Z690 LAN screw-ins, which seemed to work better.3. My only major nitpick, which was REALLY infuriating, was the M.2 shield addition installation when installing the drives. They only fit specific drives, it seems. I'm using two different W_D SN850X drives (One with a heat-sink, so obviously one doesn't have the included heat-sink, and one without.). The one without the included heat-sink, will not fit with the included screws, regardless of what I do. The only way to ensure it stays in the M.2 slot, is by utilizing the sticky part of the M.2 shield. While it isn't what I want, it works fine regardless.In conclusion, if you want a board that allows you to bend the very limits of what AAA gaming offers, this is your board. While it does take some configuration to work properly, it's worth it completely in the end. I plan on sticking with this board until the next DDR generation comes out, so, I'm extremely happy, even with some problems.

La placa base es genial en realidad, me encantó, solo tiene un pequeño detalle que ya ha sido comentado por anteriores compradores, y es que de inicio no cuenta con los controladores para la tarjeta de red. Realicé una instalación nueva de Windows 11 y no se podía avanzar porque no había conexión a internet, ni por WiFi ni por Ethernet. Tuve que realizar la instalación desactivando el acceso a internet, lo que no es transparente en Windows (eso también es una crítica a Microsoft), en fin, que hay que batallar si vas a instalar Windows, pero una vez superado el punto, es magnífica la motherboard.

la Z790 Tomahawk Max WiFi es una placa madre que cumple con las expectativas de tener una buena alimentación para OC, proporcionando estabilidad operativa y rendimiento constante. Su diseño y características la convierten en una inversión segura para aquellos planean tener sus equipos por un largo periodo.

No veo ningún defecto en la placa ,su diseño es bastante bueno ,se siente muy resistentes y la actualización del BIOS es facil

Es una de las placas mas balanceadas, En mi caso la compre para una estación de trabajo acompañada con un I9 14900K y funciona perfectamente bien, aun con overclock a 5.2 GHz
