Thanks for taking the time to create this awesome content. I based my mb buying decision on your input. Subbed to watch your channel take off.
building a machine as we speak based around this MOBO and have been using YT Univ as needed so this popped up win my feed. spent a bit of time deciding on the MOBO and it's nice to see I seem to have made a decent choice.
I bought this motherboard, all the connectivity is just amazing and the other features like fan connectors 4xm2 and 6x sata (7'th sata one won't work if you fill up the last m.2 slot) but other than. Thanks to this I have 2nvme ssds, 2 sata ssd and 2 archive hdd drive. I have 128gb memory, which unfortunately runs only at 4800mhz, but if I use 2x32 sticks the system is rock sollid at XMP/600. In the end very happy with the board.
Glad to read this... will be doing a build very shortly with this same motherboard and a 13600k... Felt I did a thorough look through at reviews and what not but still figured I'd give this video a look (and comments) to really make sure I see how others feel about it. Great comment mate, gave plenty of insight 👍
Nice review!!!
I loved the mini rant about the JRAINBOW label.
I just today got this. I love the 7x SATA. Thanks for the review (although sure, I bought it before seeing this, but anyway)!
I really like your videos for feature discussion. About the USB ports, it'd be really good to know which of those are on a separate header. If all 4 of the gen2.1 blue ones are on the same header and you plug in your mouse, you now have 4 usb 2.0 sockets. The others will downgrade to the slowest device (so I've read). Ditto for the red ones. If all 4 are on the same header they will drop down to the slowest device. ALSO - it'd be good to know what probs people might run into on installs. For example, with MSI z790s, there are a lot of complaints about not being able to automatically download the ethernet drivers. And on Some other boards with PCI 5.0 m.2 slots, if you actually use them, it will cut your graphics card slot from 16x to 8x. So talking about that sort of issue would be super useful. Even if it's just stuff you've researched rather than experienced. Another common glitch on Gigabyte others are with Intel 2..5gb ethernet. They have (or had) major driver issues causing glitchy connections. Something about an energy saving feature. I don't know if it affects mobo 10GB ports. Thanks for such a useful channel! OH - also on this MSI Tomahawk... I think the video output supports HDMI 2.1. Most competitors only support 2.0. That's good if you're doing cloud gaming and don't need a 4090 or something. Or if you're doing audio work mostly. Etc.
what do u think about this MB compare to the Asus Tuf Z790?
Okay. Here's a question. I just got through a build with this motherboard and installed it into a Meshify 2 case, along with a Asus Tuf 4090 graphics card. Thankfully the build went well and everything works. The problem is that the card covers the butterfly unlocks in the case that I wanted to remove the graphics card and the SSD heatshields block the butterfly clips as well. So how exactly will I ever be able to remove the card if need be without tearing up the card or the motherboard?
Great video. Although I'm still not sure which motherboard to get.
Between this motherboard and the Aorus z790 Elite x Wifi 7 (DDR5), which one would you pick for an intel i9 13900k?
These are the other components of the pc:
- corsair 1000w gold plus
- rtx 3090 fe
- Corsair Vengeance 64 gb RAM 6400 mhz CL32 (2 x 32gb)
- Samsung 990 2tb M2
I'm using the pc mainly for video editing (premiere pro and other adobe software).
Thanks!
Hey, great to see such big RUclipsrs stopping by my channel! The truth is both are great and will serve the build just fine, and there will be no real difference to stuff like video editing. It comes down to your personal needs for things such as rear IO or internal storage options, etc.
@@avrona thanks for your reply! Much appreciated! Do you think it's worth it to spend more money (60-100€) on an Asus Rog Strix Z790-F gaming wifi or Asus Strix Z790-A Gaming Wifi II?
@@FutureVeganAgain, only really depends on what you personally need from a motherboard. Both the Z790-F and Z790-A from ASUS have tons of additional rear IO, plus internal expansion options and better CPU power delivery. If you will make use of those features, then sure go for it!
Thank you for the review. I guess this would be for my Intel Core i5 14600K build.
I have the DDR4 one, for DDR4 overclocking because its already end of gen, it can do 5400 G2 and 4400 G1 with my new 14900KF and micron b rev ram. My previous 13600KF did 4300CL14 but degraded hence the new chip, and I lucked out on a 4400CL15 G1 IMC.
4 Slot DDR5 boards tend to max out at 7200, but if you can get that on a 2x24 m die kit its still very good.
But I have 42ns latency, though Samsung B die can do like 36ns, and Hynix M die I've seen at 44ns with double the bandwidth.
Love all your videos!
Can I install Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler straight into the mobo without having to buy any extra usb header cables?
Currently on my 6th generation i5 and still not 100% convinced for a change (not a gamer, but for example mobile phone is already on the same level in benchmark).
This one or MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI performance wise with 14700k? One concern really is it worth waiting until meteor integrated gpu?
i upgrading my 2017 rig to try and last another almost 7 years. my current specs are an MSI Z270-A pro, GTX 1060 6gb, i5-7500 3.4GHz. i'm hoping my new concoction will out last this one, i want to get this MSI MAG Z790, and pair it with an RTX 3060, and i5-13600k. obviously i'm getting new fans, RAM, and PSU too, but my case is a big ol' corsair obsidian boy, so i know everything will fit within it.
I got a 3080 ti paired with the 13600kf and runs fantastic. Isn't bottlenecking like my 5600x
Hey ! Can you please Review msi z790 Gaming Pro wifi idk why Price is Same as Msi pro a wifi but It's doesn't have alc4080 audio
Can I assume this and the MAX version are pretty much the same or no?
I'm sitting on the couch, looking at my new tomahawk, and waiting for the processor and Ram to arrive.
I hope there will be no disappointment from this mommy.
did you end up being happy?
I am buying this mobo SPECIFICALLY for its LACK of RGB and blacked out features.
My case is the Fractal Design North, and RGB belongs in there like a cat does at a dog show. It doesn’t.
But the ddr5 variant of this mobo, basically same price than the ddr4 and it's pretty good so far.
J rainbow thats hillarious xD
@averona this board is amazing! I ordered mine today! did you have any problems with the cable internet connection on this motherboard? I read in some places that there was a problem with the Intel network in it, I don't know if this has already been fixed. I was worried
2:05. Nah I got 8 SSDs I do TONS of downloading and movies and what not. So yeah. I need those SATA slots haha.
Any recommendations of the best ram i can get for this motherboard? I have Corsair ddr5 5600 but thinking of upgrading..
Honestly you don't need better RAM than that.
Can you suggest to me a list of the best budget mobo for 13700K (Only black color board). Thanks
Something such as the MSI Pro A or Aorus Elite would probably be ideal.
I'd have a question about this: I read that the power consumption can be 381W. I have a i5-14600K CPU that I'm going to use with this and I read it can use 181W. By simple math that's a total of 562W, but is that 562 actually anywhere close to correct? I mean, mostly, that if the motherboard consumes 381, then is _any_ of that part of the CPU consumption?
Regular Motherboard
25 to 40 W
High End Motherboard
45 to 80 W
Factors that affect motherboard power consumption: number of power phases, type of voltage regulator, integrated chipsets and modules (e.g. on-board sound, on-board Wi-Fi, add-on USB connectors, add-on SATA connectors etc.) and BIOS power saving features.
The Intel Core i5-14600K peaks at a power draw of 177W under load in Cinebench R23's multi-core test, which pushes this CPU right up next to its TDP of 181W
Let's say 177W (for the CPU) + 70W (for the motherboard) = 247W , so you have an ample margin concerning the consumption.
is it a good option for an i9-13000k?
Helll yea even b760 version can turnshit up real quick
Any 13th gen/LGA 1700 chipset (especially with proper cooling) will work just fine in this motherboard my friend.
Can I use 2 Nvme gen 4's in this board?
Yes you can!
Has anyone of you experienced slow DDR5 training on this board ? When I have XMP enabled it takes around 70 seconds before I'll see MSI BIOS logo. When XMP is disabled it takes 15 seconds. I have 64GB (2x32GB) 5600Mhz RAM.
its normal on DDR5s, just be patient when doing any changes with their speed.
I just care it has a bunch of usb ports, but I've been reading on amazon reviews they've been having issues with build quality..sigh..maybe I'll pick this up last to complete my build that is in very preliminary stages.
It's probably the fact that the Amazon drivers don't look after the boxes and they aren't given any additional protection. I just got a replacement and the box is fucking damaged. Fingers crossed the board works.
@@Chris-zi4mo microcenter user reviews point to some quality issues, or potentially, boxing up returns and then shipping them out as new.
Does this motherboard support fiber optic internet?
No, you can't get RJ45 optic cables.
did you end up being happy?
Bruh price of all the pc specs are so high in India due to all taxation and stuff. Z790 tomahawk ddr4 is 361$ as cheapest in India, this make me feel worse. I feel like I'm paying too much still couldn't finish my build under budget
what's funny and painful at the same time is b760 tomahawk ddr4 in India is more expensive than a z790 tomahawk ddr4 in us market.
Actually you are incorrect with the NVME M.2 slots, the only M.2 slot that runs off of the CPU Bus is Slot 1 ( gen 4 ) all the others run off of the chipset Bus, which makes them PCIe gen3. Not your fault, it's simply manufacturer typo
Wrong. RTFM 😉
Yes, chipset bus..but its z790...so also gen4...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
why are you wearing lipstick?
I'm not...
no offense but you should go shopping for some new cloths at some point^^
Oof
Didnt your mother ever teach you that "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all", while I'm here you need to learn how to spell "clothes"....the irony.
Bruh you had no reason to comment this.
@L0v0lup ignorance
Some people are into minimalist style and have 50 plain black tees. Rich people are known to buy 400$ t shirts that look like fruit of the loom plain tees, Zuckerberg being one of them.
