2. 16-Phase Mirrored Power Arrangement (Smart Power Stage / 90A)
3. 1-Phase GT Power
4. 1-Phase AUX Power

VRM Cooling: Features an extended heatsink and 7W/mK thermal pads.

PCB Cooling: Premium 6-layer server-grade printed circuit design with 2 oz. thickened copper improves heat dissipation & reliability.

SSD Cooling: M.2 Shield Frozr prevents thermal throttling.

System Cooling: Connect and synchronize cooling with strategically placed pin-headers - including a dedicated pump-fan header.

Memory Boost: A fully-isolated DDR circuit delivers pure data signals for optimal gaming and overclocking performance.

XMP profiles in MSI BIOS are MSI OC LAB optimized and can be easily enabled with auto power settings for optimized memory speed and stability.

*1DPC 1R Max. overclocking frequency 7200+ MHz, supports Intel XMP.

MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points to support the weight of heavy graphics cards. When every advantage in games counts, Steel Armor also shields the point of contact from electromagnetic interference:

1 x PCI-e 5.0/4.0/3.0 x16 slot* (with Steel Armor**)

1 x PCI-e 4.0/3.0 x16 slot*

*Supports x16/x4

**MSI Surface Mount Technology (SMT) solder welding improves signal clarity.

The MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard features MSI's Gen4 M.2 slots:

4 x Gen4 x4 64Gb/s slots

Even the world’s fastest SSDs will automatically slow if thermal throttling firmware detects excessively high temperatures.

M.2 Shield Frozr is MSI's most advanced thermal solution, offering the best possible protection to ensure maximum SSD transfer speed performance.
