MSI MPG Z790 EDGE Ti PC BUILD - Best Motherboard for 14th Gen Intel

New all white MSI Z790 Edge Ti MAX in Depth Review & why it's the best motherboard for 12th 13th & 14th generation intel cpu processors.

Launched in late 2023, the MSI MPG Z790 Edge TI MAX WiFi stands out as a contender for one of the best Z790 motherboards for 14th Gen Intel processors. Let's delve into its technical details and see why it might be a strong choice for your next build:

Technical Specifications:

Socket: LGA 1700, compatible with 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel processors
Chipset: Intel Z790
Memory: 4x DDR5 DIMM slots, supporting up to 192GB DDR5-7800+(OC) with Intel XMP 3.0
Storage: 5x M.2 slots (1x PCIe 5.0 x4, 3x PCIe 4.0 x4, 1x PCIe 3.0 x4), 8x SATA III ports
Expansion: 1x PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, 1x PCIe 3.0 x1 slot
Networking: 2.5Gbps LAN, Wi-Fi 7
Other Features: 12+2+1 phase VRM with 75A DrMOS, integrated heatsinks, pre-installed I/O shield, Mystic Light RGB LED support
Strengths for 14th Gen Intel Builds:

Future-proof Design: With PCIe 5.0 support for graphics cards and storage, this motherboard is ready for next-gen components.
DDR5 Optimization: The optimized DDR5 circuit ensures stable and high-performance memory overclocking, crucial for maximizing 14th Gen Intel CPUs.
Powerful VRM: The robust 12+2+1 phase VRM with 75A DrMOS provides ample power delivery for demanding overclocking scenarios.
Thermal Management: Integrated heatsinks and M.2 Shield Frozr effectively dissipate heat, especially essential for 14th Gen CPUs known to run hot.
Advanced Networking: 2.5Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi 7 offer exceptional bandwidth and low latency for online gaming and content creation.
Rich Connectivity: Plenty of USB ports, including USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C, cater to various peripherals and external storage devices.
Aesthetics: The silver-white color scheme complements white-themed builds, and Mystic Light RGB adds a touch of personalization.
Potential Drawbacks:

Price: This motherboard sits in the upper mid-range price segment, potentially deterring budget-conscious buyers.
Overkill for Non-Overclockers: If you don't plan to overclock, some features like the powerful VRM might be unnecessary, making a less expensive Z790 motherboard a better option.
Limited PCIe 3.0 Slots: Only one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot might be limiting for users who rely on legacy expansion cards.
Overall:

The MSI MPG Z790 Edge TI MAX WiFi boasts a compelling combination of future-proof features, robust power delivery, and advanced thermal management, making it a strong contender for high-performance 14th Gen Intel builds, especially for overclockers and enthusiasts who prioritize aesthetics and cutting-edge technologies. However, its price tag might be a deterrent for budget-conscious users, and some features might be overkill for those who don't plan on extensive overclocking. Carefully consider your needs and budget before making a decision.

MSI Released a Beast 👌 (Edit) - I made a mistake, this does have 2 Thunderbolt 4 Ports, IDK why I said it didn't... my mistake.

Any thoughts on Gigabyte Aourus Pro X z790 all white? I like the all white pcb board but I feel like MSI is more reliable. My other option was thinking to go more expense the ASUS white formula Maximus not sure if I should spend that kind of money.

Hi Dan, thanks for this video. Now I am planning to use this motherboard with i9-13900k. Can I use 2x48gb rams? Is it possible? or can we use 4x32gb ram = 128gb?

Z790 carbon wifi or z790 edge ti max wifi for a 14th gen

[therealmrsmall]

Why 4 sticks of RAM? and how much total gb of RAM? Just curious as I just built a new pc using MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI and only used 2x32gb DDR5 RAM

tbh i was wondering which mobo is best for 14th gen its the ONE PART i keep 2nd guessing myself about lol

[inception]

What case are you using? It looks awesome!

[Lukasrsted]

why does it say tho on the motherboard site it support 12-13 gen but not 14?

[AviFN.]

Do you need to update the BIOS for it to be compatible with 14th gen cpu's or no?

[nivea]

do you like Intel or AMD boards better Dan ??

[straya_au_]

is this mobo still good today my next build im doing is new lian li case new lcd fans
and cooler with intel i7 or 9

[bradw]
