Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

Works amazingly well. Paired with a i9-14900k, no issues. Best purchase for a motherboard. Bios is not complicated, made everything simplistic.

For builds that need a good quality motherboard like my setup (Intel Core i9 12900-KF, RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30) I ABSOLUTELY recommend this motherboard. Its top of the line and is very similar in quality to the msi z790 tomahawk but cheaper and worth the price. The VRMs are good even for top tier builds that overclock and have high voltage draws. I got this motherboard for only $150 on black friday last year and i absolutely love it. It even looks good too. For this motherboard the sweet spot in RAM is DDR5 6000MHz 30CL. Beware of software because MSI Center may be buggy a little but other than that absolutely perfect.

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.

Good job MSI for making quality mobo. Why did you only put 2 fan ports on the bottom for front fans when I have 3 front fans

Works Flawlessly with my i5 14600K. Switched from Asus since they're overpriced for less specs

While the LGA1700 socket seems to be ending soon, you can underestimate how good this motherboard is. With 4 nvme ssd drives, clean look and ease of build this would be my top choice for a Z790 board. Building on this was relatively easy and didn’t need me checking the manual often because this board had everything I needed on it.

Great motherboard - tons of connections, convenient layout, great fan and ARGB control... WIFI, bluetooth, latest USB 3.2x2. And for the price I don't think it can be beat. I happened to have a bad processor and MSI's customer support was superb as well.

Bought this at Best Buy couple of weeks ago or so, I have set this Mother Board up with i9 14900K, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64GB (2 x 32) 6400Mhz, Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 24GB Gaming OC. and Samsung Pro 990 4TB and 1TB SSD. Love this setup so far cuts through everything without any Hiccups .

This mobo was exacly what i wanted. Ddr5 ram up to 128gb of ram. 5 m.2 gen 4 slots for plenty of storage. can overclock cpu and ram easily from bios. Has a lga 1700 socket and wil fit i5 i7 and i9 13,900k verions of cpu in it. Highly recommended for the price as it compares to the Z790 max and much better in price point!

I love this motherboard , do you guys see that dragon ? Who doesn’t want a dragon right infront of the glass , I tried finding more components that had the Mai dragon but no luck

The best motherboard money can buy, also will definitely buy from this brand moving forward!

Great motherboard for the price. Looks good in my white build with its black and white design.

Bought this board during Black Friday. Been getting parts in over a couple month span to build it. Came to install, there was a few bent pins. Contacted Best Buy, it’s out of their return policy and told me to contact MSI. Contacted MSI and told me they could send to RMA and replace the socket but cost me $65. Very upset with it.

I like it! its ddr5 works good but bit pricey though

Very easy install and seems to be working well. Would rec

Its a great motherboard for the price. Very stylish and does the job.

If your looking for an easy motherboard to install and build upon. Then I highly recommend this board. I love that it has heat sink covers for the ssd nvme m.2. However, the nvmes with built in heatsinks are too thick the for covers to set on. The design of this mother board makes it easy for plug and play. The Wi-Fi is not bad and the antena is big step up from the rabbit ears that the older wifi motherboards used to have. Plus it magnetic. So if you have a metal pc case you can just stick it on and not worry about it. What I really like is the led light indicators that built in on it. It makes it easy for you diagnose what's wrong with your pc. Example ram stick is bad and causing your pc to stall on boot up, The dedicated bios usb port is also nice to have for bios updates or trying to unbrick it.
