The VRM and heatsink mass here are the reason: a Core i9-14900K pulling well over 250 watts under an all-core load will not make this board flinch. You also get full Z790 privileges, CPU and memory overclocking, a PCIe 5.0 graphics slot, several M.2 slots under heatsinks, and Wi-Fi 6E with 2.5G LAN. For a local editing or streaming workstation that runs hot for hours, that headroom is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThink carefully before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLGA1700 is an end-of-life socket. This board is excellent today but there is no future CPU generation to upgrade into, so treat it as a complete platform purchase rather than an investment. It is also expensive relative to a B760 board that would deliver the same gaming frame rates with a non-overclocked CPU. Storage is PCIe 4.0 M.2 rather than PCIe 5.0, and the board is physically large and heavy. If you do not intend to overclock, or you want a socket with a future, look at a B760 Tomahawk or move to an LGA1851 Z890 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOversized VRM with heavy heatsink array for high-wattage Core i9 processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot with reinforced steel armour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple M.2 slots with M.2 Shield Frozr heatsinks and screwless mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt 4 class USB-C rear connectivity with display output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth onboard plus 2.5 Gigabit LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: Intel Z790\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: Intel LGA1700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5, 4x DIMM slots, up to 192GB, high-speed kits supported via Intel XMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1x PCIe 5.0 x16 primary slot plus additional PCIe x16 and x1 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 5x M.2 NVMe slots, 6x SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: 2.5 Gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Premium 7.1-channel HD Audio with headphone amplification and gold-plated jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O highlights: Thunderbolt 4 class USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, Flash BIOS Button, Clear CMOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 plus front USB-C header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA 6Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting hardware and screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick installation guide, cable stickers and driver information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy MSI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMPG Carbon boards are where MSI puts its heaviest power delivery and cooling, and they hold flagship Intel chips steady when cheaper boards start pulling back.
