LGA 1700 ATX platform for Intel Core 12 13 14 Gen

The MSI PRO Z790-A WIFI II is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z790 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It accepts 12th 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core processors along with Pentium Gold and Celeron models. Four 288-pin slots support dual-channel DDR5 up to 256 GB.

Creative professionals and high-load workstations

This board suits users who need sustained CPU power delivery through a 16-duet-rail design with 80 A smart power stages and dual 8-pin connectors. Integrated Wi-Fi 6E and a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps port handle modern connectivity. Builders who require ECC memory or legacy PCIe 3.0 x16 slots should consider other chipsets.

PCIe 5.0 x16 and DDR5 7800 define the ceiling

The single PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot provides up to 128 GB/s bandwidth for current-generation graphics cards or accelerators. Memory tops out at DDR5 7800 via Intel XMP 3.0. These two specifications determine whether the platform matches your performance targets.

Questions about this item

What case size and socket does the PRO Z790-A WIFI II require?

The motherboard follows the ATX form factor and uses an LGA 1700 socket, so the chassis must support ATX boards and the processor must fit LGA 1700.

What is the correct order for mounting the Wi-Fi antenna on this board?

The EZ Antenna design lets you snap the fasteners onto the rear I/O panel first, then attach the antenna body without twisting — reversing the steps can leave a loose connection.

Which components on this board will need thermal-pad replacement over time?

The VRM area uses 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and additional choke thermal pads; these pads degrade with heat cycles and should be inspected or replaced during major service intervals.
