MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 Intel Z790 ATX Motherboard — LGA1700 | DDR4 | PCIe 5.0 | Wi-Fi 6E | Intel 2.5GbE | USB 20Gbps | Business PRO Series

The MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 is built for business professionals, content creators, overclockers, and power users who want full Z790 K-series CPU overclocking capability, PCIe 5.0 GPU support, and enterprise-grade connectivity features — Wi-Fi 6E, Intel 2.5GbE, and USB 20Gbps — alongside the cost efficiency of DDR4 memory over DDR5. It is ideal for high-performance productivity workstations, professional creative systems, K-series gaming and overclocking builds, and any Intel 12th/13th/14th Gen ATX build where Z790 features and DDR4 memory compatibility are priorities.

The PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 features a 14+1+1 Duet Rail Power System with 55A DrMOS power stages, dual 8-pin solid-pin CPU power connectors, Core Boost, Extended Heatsink with 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads, additional choke thermal pads, and a 6-layer 2oz copper server-grade PCB — providing sustained, stable power delivery for Intel Core 12th through 14th Gen processors including fully unlocked K-series overclocking. Four DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 128GB at DDR4-5333+ (OC) via Intel XMP and MSI Memory Boost across a wide frequency range from JEDEC DDR4-2133 up to DDR4-5333+ OC in 1DPC 1R configuration. The PCIe 5.0 x16 primary GPU slot delivers the latest GPU bandwidth at 128 GB/s for current and next-generation graphics cards. Four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots — including one CPU-direct 22110-capable M.2_1 with M.2 Shield Frozr, and M.2_3 and M.2_4 supporting both NVMe and SATA modes — alongside 6 SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 for both SATA and M.2 NVMe provide extensive storage flexibility. Intel Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with MU-MIMO across 2.4/5/6 GHz up to 2.4 Gbps and Bluetooth 5.3 delivers reliable, low-latency wireless. Intel 2.5GbE LAN provides fast, stable wired connectivity 2.5× faster than standard Gigabit. A rear USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port at 20 Gbps — powered by Intel's dedicated USB 3.2 Gen 2 Turbo controller for improved stability and speed — provides the fastest USB connectivity available on this board. A dedicated Pump Fan header (3A) supports AIO liquid cooler pumps alongside six system fan headers for comprehensive thermal management. EZ M.2 Clip enables tool-free M.2 SSD installation. Flash BIOS button enables BIOS update without CPU or memory installed. MSI Click BIOS 5 provides Game Boost, XMP, VMD, and Memory Try It!! for straightforward performance tuning.
