Description

MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX Motherboard in Bangladesh

The MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX is built for gamers and creators who want a high-performance Intel platform with modern connectivity, fast storage support, and flexible expansion. Powered by the Intel Z790 chipset, this ATX motherboard is designed to help you build a responsive system for gaming, streaming, content creation, and everyday multitasking—while keeping upgrade paths open for future components.

CPU Support for 12th/13th Gen Intel Core

This motherboard supports Intel 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors using the LGA 1700 socket. It also supports Pentium Gold and Celeron processors on the same socket, making it a practical choice if you want to start with a more budget-friendly CPU and later upgrade to a higher-performance chip. If you’re pairing it with an iGPU-capable processor, the board’s HDMI and DisplayPort outputs can be used for display connectivity; otherwise, you can rely on a dedicated graphics card through the PCIe slots.

DDR5 Memory Performance with XMP 3.0 OC

Equipped with 4x DDR5 UDIMM slots, the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX supports up to 192GB of maximum system memory. It supports DDR5 memory speeds ranging from 5000 MHz up to an overclocking frequency of 7800 MHz+, giving you room to tune performance for demanding workloads. With Intel XMP 3.0 OC support, you can enable memory profiles to reach higher speeds more easily—ideal for users who want better responsiveness in games, faster project handling in creative software, and smoother multitasking compared to running at default memory settings.

Graphics Outputs for Flexible Setup

For systems using integrated graphics, the motherboard provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 1x DisplayPort. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 4K at 60Hz, while DisplayPort supports up to 8K at 60Hz, supporting high-resolution displays for work and entertainment. This makes the board suitable for building a clean, compact workflow setup first, then later adding a dedicated GPU if you want higher frame rates or more advanced graphics performance.

Expansion Options for Upgrades and Add-ons

With 2x PCI-E x16 slots and 1x PCI-E x1 slot, the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX offers strong expansion flexibility. The PCIe layout supports different PCIe generations to match your needs, whether you’re installing a graphics card, adding a high-speed capture card, or expanding with additional connectivity. This is especially useful for enthusiasts who want to keep options open for future upgrades such as faster GPUs, extra storage controllers, or specialized cards for productivity.

Storage Connectivity: M.2 and SATA with RAID Support

Storage performance is supported through 4x M.2 slots and 8x SATA 6G connectors. The M.2_1 slot supports PCIe 5.0 x4, which is ideal for ultra-fast NVMe SSDs and quick application load times. The remaining M.2 slots (M.2_2, M.2_3, and M.2_4) support PCIe 4.0 x4/SATA mode, giving you compatibility across different SSD generations. RAID support is available for both SATA and M.2 NVMe devices, including RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10—useful if you want higher throughput, redundancy, or a balanced mix depending on your workflow.

Networking: Intel 2.5Gbps LAN and Wi‑Fi 7

For wired networking, the motherboard includes Intel 2.5Gbps LAN, delivering faster and more stable connections for online gaming, large file transfers, and smooth streaming compared to standard gigabit Ethernet. For wireless connectivity, it supports Wi‑Fi 7 with speeds up to 5.8 GHz, with Wi‑Fi pre-installed in the M.2 (Key‑E) slot. Bluetooth 5.4 is also included, making it convenient for connecting peripherals such as headsets, controllers, and other compatible devices without extra adapters.

Audio with Realtek ALC4080 Codec

Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC4080 codec, featuring 7.1-channel USB high-performance audio. It also supports up to 32-bit/384 kHz playback on the front panel, which can benefit users who care about clearer sound reproduction for music, voice communication, and multimedia editing. This makes the board a strong foundation for a home studio-style setup or a gaming rig where audio detail matters.

Ports, BIOS, and Build-Friendly Features

The back panel includes a variety of ports such as DisplayPort, HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2x2 Type C, along with 2.5G LAN, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, audio connectors, and additional USB options. For troubleshooting and smoother setup, the board includes EZ Debug LED, helping you identify issues during boot. It also supports Flash BIOS, which can be helpful when updating firmware for improved compatibility and stability. The motherboard is compatible with Windows 11 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit, supporting modern operating system setups.

ATX Form Factor for Wider Case Compatibility

Designed in the ATX form factor (243.84mm x 304.8mm), the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX fits well in many standard ATX PC cases. This size typically offers more room for airflow and cable management compared to smaller form factors, which can be beneficial when building a high-performance system with multiple drives, expansion cards, and robust cooling.

Who Should Buy This Motherboard?

Choose the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX if you want a DDR5 Z790 platform with strong memory capacity, high-speed storage options (including PCIe 5.0 on M.2_1), fast wired networking, and Wi‑Fi 7 for modern wireless performance. It’s a great fit for enthusiasts building a long-term upgrade system in Bangladesh—especially if you plan to use 12th/13th Gen Intel CPUs, add NVMe SSDs, and expand with additional PCIe devices over time.
