I'm getting this on Monday, just got the 13600k with the ASUS TUF 3070TI along with an NZXT case and an AIO. I'm so excited to build my first PC for gaming in 12 years after daily driving a Mac.
You will be satisfied, even i think this MB is in a higher level than 13600k, if you haven't problem with payment its OK, but even you can chooseTOMAHAWK with z690 chip and DDR4 and save about 80-100 € without a big performance deference. Anyway Congratulations i have best wishes for you 👍
@@kleptokratija yeah i’m happy with the motherboard, no issues at all. Lots of M.2 and Sata slots, the Lan is working well and i’m using the bluetooth with my 8BitDo controller with no issues at all. Also it’s really fast with the 13600k, Windows install took like 30 seconds, maybe that’s normal but I hadn’t installed Windows in years coz i daily drive a mac.
Yes in this price range in my opinion its the Best. All needed Function + Server Grade PCB 👍 i used with 13900K but haven't any problem. It was so better than Aorus Elite AX
@@unboxingathome Hello i just saw this video and i was wondering if the ThermalRight contact frame is need it for this mobo? i am planning of buying this mobo with the i5-13600k. Great video!!
@@unboxingathome The intel 12th gen and 13th gen mobos have certain bending problems, this contact frame from the brand ThermalRight solve the problem about bending and cool the CPU a few degrees.
This Model is DDR5, if you can Find DDR5 RAM in discount at good price, i recommend to buy DDR5 with about 10-20 % better Ram Performance, if not you can buy DDR 4 Series.
In April 2023 Maybe don't need to update, but if it want, its not so hard. You can do it also without CPU, only with A flash disk. You should download Bios file and copy on Flashdisk and Connect to MB to power an turn it on. I will release a video to learning Bios Update
@@unboxingathome Which motherboard would you recommend to pair with i7-13600K and RTX 4070? I'd prefer DDR5 route. I want to keep the setup for at least 5 years from now. Thanks!
TOMAHAWK is more than you need for 13600K and 4070 but If you haven't problem to pay, you will be satisfied. You can see comparation with Gigabyte Aotus Elite AX in this video(Gigabyte is about 50€ cheaper) Aorus z790 vs Tomahawk z790 ruclips.net/video/au724hG8SSU/видео.html
@@unboxingathome Thank you for your response. I'm sorry I mistyped it but I wanted to write "i7 13700K" (not sure if this changes anything). Also, I want to avoid Gigabtye because I've seen so many reviews where people are facing problems with Gigabyte products, especially motherboards. This is a full picture of what I'm trying to build. I'm unable to decide few components. Please share your recommendations: 1. i7 13700K 2. ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X 3. Motherboard (which one to choose?) 1.

Occasional gaming in 4K (Battlefield 2042, Warzone, etc) Note: I don't plan to upgrade this system for atleast 5 years, so I'm trying to build an efficient one that stays powerful for 5 years. Thanks a lot!
@@unboxingathomeare you sure? When plugged in the pc the usb shows as a cd drive loaded with bios/drivers files. As far as i know if it was for bios it should've been a "MSI.ROM" file in it
@@unboxingathome yes but I am stuck on the connect to the internet to continue screeen on the windows setup I haven’t made it to the Home Screen yet so how do I actually install the drivers bc you can’t from the bios
You can Install your windows without activation and internet connection. When installation finished, Then connect your mobile phone as usb-Tethering to PC for internet connection then download Driver and install
Thanks for the detailed video. I needed to RMA my DOA board and this helped me put it back to exactly the way it was shipped to me.

Are you satisfied with z790 Tomahawk? Would you recommend it to others? I also have a 13600k. Thank you in advance.

Yes correct, with metal Plate This problem is almost solved
Whare is driver disk?
You can download Drivers from MSI Website
Msi pro z790 wifi pro series ddr5 or this one?
With i5 13400 f + rtx 4070
This Model is DDR5, if you can Find DDR5 RAM in discount at good price, i recommend to buy DDR5 with about 10-20 % better Ram Performance, if not you can buy DDR 4 Series.
Can i place the i9 13900ks and stick 128gb ram with it?
Yes, without any Problem
@@unboxingathome thx
Do i need to update the bios? Or it support 13th gen intel out of the box?

@@unboxingathome hi do i have to rename the bios file to MSI_ROM or keep it as it is?
nice explain
Thanks you
Is that drivers usb up to date, or do you need to use it just to get to the bios before installing windows?
USB is for updating BIOS it’s not for updating Drivers
@@unboxingathome oh I see, so does that need to be updated before installing windows
@@unboxingathomeare you sure? When plugged in the pc the usb shows as a cd drive loaded with bios/drivers files. As far as i know if it was for bios it should've been a "MSI.ROM" file in it
does this motherboard work well with i9 13900KF and ddr5 6200mhz dominator platnium ram with a 4080?
Yes its one of the best Choices
Can i place the i9 13900ks and 128gb ram with it?
what is the USB for? and how much storage doe it have?
You are asking about which USB? It haven't any onboard Storage. Can you ask with more details? unfortunately i didn't understand
The driver usb flash, can I use this for my windows boot up? I was just wondering how much storage is inside this
Aha, it is for Updating Motherboard BIOS and its Capacity is 16GB
What is the WiFi card that comes pre-installed? Is it accessible to change it?
It’s a built in Intel WiFi 6E card and nope you can’t change it.
It’s preferred if you use the LAN.
You can disable Internal Wifi Adapter and use another Wifi( USB or Pcie)
like, my friend. can you tell me if all packages of msi tomahawk b760 come with this flash drive f? thanks
Hi, about TOMAHAWK B760, USB Stick Not included in the box
Goodluck my friend
How do you install the lan drivers to connect to the internet to then setup windows
You should doenload Driver from MSI Website and install it.
@@unboxingathome yes but I am stuck on the connect to the internet to continue screeen on the windows setup I haven’t made it to the Home Screen yet so how do I actually install the drivers bc you can’t from the bios
You can Install your windows without activation and internet connection. When installation finished, Then connect your mobile phone as usb-Tethering to PC for internet connection then download Driver and install
You can not install Drivers before installing Windows, because Drivers install on Windows.
@@unboxingathome yeah I can not setup it without an internet connection it won’t let me
