Pros & Cons
Pros
The 13900ks can run full tilt even on an aio well under 300w and 70's for temps. omg. Besides ram, my 13600k overclock to 5. I have three nvme's installed and their speeds run as advertised. Xmp works great with 13900k andamp; rtx4090 & tforce ddr... Read More
It isn't a meg board, but it actually has more layers than the z690i meg board that preceded this. I wished the theme of this board more closely resembled that of the msi z690.
Aesethic board with 6 rgb fan connectors. If you're into rgb it also has nifty mystic light lighting. Lots of rgb and fan headers.
The power delivery is clean with the board and plentiful. Enough meat for the enthusiast to tinker with. Only bad thing is the board was kina expensive.
I highly recommend going to msi's website and downloading the full user manual for your motherboard. Having wi-fi and blutooth enabled on the motherboard itself right from the start is a wonderful thing, coming from a board that didn't have these buil... Read More
Cons
Buyer beware. What a headache.
Highlights
Quality
It was easy to setup and utilize, the stability was great, it was easy to install it; and it comes with a good set of wireless wifi 6.
This is by far the best motherboard ive purchased i freakin love it very good for gaming ive been playing re4 remake on it and ... Read More
Mystic lights and their led firmware support is garbage.
- 3pin argb headers are defective and causes any rgb device to flicker.
Price
Otoh the msi z790i is priced very nice and will get you going where you need to go quick.
A set of high-end features for an efficient price.
- expensive with useless vrm fan and argb features.
I would give it 5 stars, but for the $$$ you are paying for there is no manual, i drop a star for that.
Shipping
No spdif out :c not even the 3 pin connectorthe delivery took ages because seller didn't ship my product for weeks
Packaging/appearance
Everything was accounted for per package contents (mobo, usb (with software drivers), stickers, wifi antenna).
The packaging was good (standard but robust box) with good foam cushioning.
Included in the box is an msi usb thumb drive with driver and utility downloads .
Competitiveness
The msi z790i is probably the best itx z board money can buy.
I looked at similar boards for the price and this fit my style.
One nvme is a gen3 and two are gen4; all three are different brands (samsung, intel and sk hynix).
Msi bios is different from asus so if that is your gripe then that is irrelevant as this board is in its own league.

However if someone is looking to 34future proof34 the task itself is misguided given tech pacing so future proofing is a fools errand at best
