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.

Worth the price
This motherboard is easy on the wallet and very good in quality and quantity which is hard to find in the market! The IO is amazing and can plug in almost everything you will need in a setup, very easy to use, simplistic design with quality in mind and I don’t regret getting this MB and you should get it if you’re looking for an upgrade or a black out build

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.
