Great performance And easy setup
The MSI Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi has been an excellent motherboard so far. Installation was smooth, and updating the BIOS was simple and straightforward. All the internal headers and plug-ins are easy to access, which made the build process a breeze. Performance has been rock solid with no stability issues, and the built-in Wi-Fi works great. My only small complaint is that I wish it had a couple more RGB header plugs for better lighting flexibility. Overall, this board delivers great value, solid performance, and a very user-friendly setup. Definitely recommend it for anyone building a gaming PC on Z790 platform.

Excellent Choice!
My previous Z690 from another manufacturer died, so I picked this one up to get my work computer going again as quickly as possible. This motherboard was fantastic quality, easy to install, and set up easily. After learning where things were in the BIOS adjusting the PWM and OC settings were simple. I am pleased and have 0 regrets.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Z790 Gaming Motherboard is a solid choice for high-performance builds, with only a few minor quirks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First off, the build quality and design are impressive. The motherboard feels robust and well-engineered, with a sleek, modern aesthetic that fits perfectly in any gaming rig. The connectivity options are top-notch, offering plenty of USB ports, PCIe slots, and M.2 slots for all your expansion needs. The integrated Wi-Fi 6E and high-speed Ethernet are fantastic for ensuring fast and reliable network connections. Performance-wise, this motherboard delivers smoothly, with excellent support for the latest processors and high-speed RAM. Overclocking capabilities are strong, and BIOS customization options give you a lot of control to fine-tune your system. The onboard audio and cooling solutions also perform admirably, contributing to a stable and enjoyable gaming experience. However, the price point is a bit steep, and while it’s a premium board, it may not offer the best value for every user. Additionally, the BIOS can be somewhat intimidating for newcomers, and it might take a bit of time to get used to all the settings and options. Overall, the Z790 Gaming Motherboard is a high-quality, feature-rich choice that will meet the needs of most gamers and enthusiasts. It has a few minor downsides, but the performance and build quality make it a worthwhile investment.
