LGA 1700 Z790 ATX platform

The MSI PRO Z790-P II is an Intel Z790 motherboard built for LGA 1700 processors from the 12th, 13th and 14th generations. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 256 GB with speeds ranging from 4800 to 7800 MHz. The board provides three PCI-E x16 slots and one PCI-E x1 slot, plus six SATA III ports and four M.2 interfaces for storage expansion.

Builders needing 2.5 Gbps LAN and USB 20 Gbps

This board suits users who want wired 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and a rear USB 20 Gbps Type-C port alongside multiple 10 Gbps and 5 Gbps connections. It also delivers 7.1-channel audio through the Realtek ALC897 codec. Builders who require integrated Wi-Fi or more than four M.2 slots should consider other models.

Four M.2 interfaces and six SATA III ports

The single specification that decides fit is the combination of four M.2 interfaces and six SATA III ports, which sets the maximum number of drives you can attach directly to the board. Verify that your storage plan matches this count before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which DDR5 memory speeds does the board officially support up to?

The board supports DDR5 from 4800 MHz JEDEC up to 7800 MHz when overclocked, with dual-channel operation and a 256 GB maximum capacity.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 x1 expansion cards work in the second full-size slot?

Yes, the PCI_E2 slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x1 from the chipset, so legacy x1 cards will function normally.

How can I confirm the 2.5 Gbps LAN is active after installing drivers?

Open the network adapter properties in Windows and verify the link speed shows 2.5 Gbps; the Intel LAN chipset will report that rate when connected to a 2.5 Gbps switch.
