MSI will bring the new Z790 MAX motherboard, Includes ACE, Carbon, Edge and Tomahawk series

At the forthcoming “Intel Innovation” summit next month, Intel is poised to unveil its 14th generation Core processor, christened the Raptor Lake Refresh. Reflecting on the precedents set during Computex 2023, myriad motherboard manufacturers are anticipated to launch their novel Z790 motherboards, boasting superior power delivery mechanisms, enhanced PCB designs, and an array of groundbreaking features, including support for the avant-garde Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity.

According to Wccftech, MSI is on the cusp of introducing its new Z790 MAX motherboard lineup, encompassing the MEG Z790 ACE MAX, MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI, MPG Z790 EDGE MAX WIFI, and MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WIFI models. These not only accommodate the 14th generation Core processors and swifter DDR5 memory but also feature recalibrated power delivery to sustain chips of higher wattage and possess advanced thermal solutions.

The MEG Z790 ACE MAX boasts a 24-phase power design, inclusive of 105A SPS Dr.MOS and a dual 8Pin CPU power interface. It features four DDR5 memory slots (supporting 7600MT/s+ and a capacity of 192GB), is outfitted with five M.2 slots, two PCIe 5.0 full-length slots (single x16 or dual x8), and a single PCIe 4.0 full-length slot (x8). It supports 5GbE wired networking and Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity. The MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI and MPG Z790 EDGE MAX WIFI come with 19-phase and 16-phase power designs respectively. Their memory support capabilities are 7600MT/s+ and 7200MT/s+ respectively, while their wired network capabilities stand at 5GbE and 2.5GbE, both endorsing Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity.

Additionally, there’s the more economical MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WIFI, sporting a 16-phase and 90A SPS Dr.MOS power design. It can support DDR5 memory at 7200MT/s+, and features 2.5GbE wired networking and Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity. Its thermal armor is adorned with a black brushed finish, accentuated with hints of yellow-green, lending it a distinct aesthetic appeal.

It’s understood that the pricing of these new motherboards will align closely with their current non-MAX counterparts. Greater intricacies about these products are expected to be divulged next month.
