MSI Z790 GAMING WIFI D5 Intel Motherboard

SKU CH-GZ3N-DGEES

An ATX Intel Z790 motherboard supporting 12th and 13th Gen Core processors on LGA 1700 with DDR5 up to 7200 MHz, three M.2 slots, 2.5 Gbps LAN, Wi-Fi 6E and a 12+1+1 DrMOS power design

  • CPU TypeIntel Core 13th Gen (LGA 1700)
  • Supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors on LGA 1700 socket
  • DDR5 memory support up to 7200 MHz overclocked for high-speed performance
  • Enhanced 12+1+1 DrMOS power design with dual CPU power connectors
  • Three M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 and Shield Frozr for fast storage
  • 5Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi 6E for low-latency networking

Z790 DDR5 ATX board for 12th

This motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and LGA 1700 socket to support 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It provides four DDR5 slots with a maximum capacity of 192 GB and native speeds up to 4800 MHz. The 12+1+1 Duet Rail power system with DrMOS and dual CPU power connectors is built for stable operation under load.

PCIe 4.0 primary slot and three Gen 4 M.2 sockets

The top PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 from the CPU for graphics cards. Two additional x16 physical slots and two x1 slots are wired from the chipset at PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 depending on the lane. Three M.2 connectors are available, with the first sourced from the CPU for PCIe 4.0 x4 storage. A front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header delivers 10 Gbps data.

Check CPU graphics for video output

The single HDMI 1.4 port only functions when the installed processor includes integrated graphics and is limited to 4K at 30 Hz. Builders using a discrete GPU must connect their display to the card instead. The extended heatsink and MOSFET thermal pads add height around the socket, so verify that your CPU cooler does not interfere with the VRM cooling assembly. Ensure your power supply provides both an 8-pin and a 4-pin CPU connector for the Duet Rail design.

Questions about this item

Which DDR5 speed should I choose for this board?

The board supports JEDEC speeds of 4800, 5000, 5200, 5400 and 5600 MHz, plus XMP 3.0 overclocked profiles up to 7200+ MHz depending on slot population.

What does the 7200+ MHz memory rating mean in a built system?

That is the maximum overclocked frequency reachable with a single-rank module in one slot per channel; two ranks or four populated slots lower the achievable ceiling.

What PCIe generation does the top M.2 slot use and what does that limit?

The primary M.2 slot connects through the CPU at PCIe 4.0 x4, capping sequential throughput to the bandwidth of that generation.
