LGA 1700 ATX motherboard for 12th Gen Intel

The MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z690 chipset and the LGA 1700 socket. It accepts 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs and runs dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 5200 MHz overclocked with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The board delivers a 2.5 Gbps Intel I225V LAN controller, Realtek ALC4080 7.1-channel audio and a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 20 Gbps Type-C port on the rear I/O.

Ideal for DDR4 memory upgrades.

This board suits builders who want to reuse existing DDR4 modules or buy affordable DDR4 kits while still gaining Z690 features such as CPU-attached PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics bandwidth and four M.2 interfaces. It is less suited for users who need multiple PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, because only the primary x16 slot operates at PCIe 5.0 while the chipset-linked M.2 connectors run at PCIe 3.0 x4.

Primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot from the CPU

The single specification that decides compatibility is the PCI_E1 slot wired directly to the processor and rated for PCIe 5.0 x16. A graphics card installed here receives the full 5.0 bandwidth, while the remaining two x16-sized slots and the four M.2 interfaces are limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds from the Z690 chipset.

Highlights

  • Supports 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 5200 MHz (OC) with 128 GB maximum capacity
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 slot from CPU plus PCIe 3.0 x4 and x1 slots from Z690 chipset
  • Realtek ALC4080 codec delivers 7.1-channel high-definition audio with S/PDIF output
  • Intel I225V 2.5 Gbps LAN plus USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps Type-C port on rear panel

Questions about this item

What processor socket and generation does this board require for the CPU?

The motherboard uses an LGA 1700 socket and supports 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors.

Can I install a PCIe 5.0 graphics card alongside older PCIe 3.0 expansion cards?

Yes, the primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 from the CPU, while the second and third x16 slots operate at PCIe 3.0 x4 and x1 from the Z690 chipset.

How do I verify the 2.5 Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi are active after building the system?

Check Device Manager for the Intel I225V 2.5Gbps controller and the onboard Wi-Fi module, then confirm link speed in the network adapter properties.
