MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI Overview
Enjoy smooth gaming and content creation performance by including the MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard in your next build. Supporting AMD 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors with the AM5 socket, this motherboard can be outfitted with overclocked components to handle demanding applications and AI-enhanced workloads. An ideal companion for a Ryzen 9000 CPU, the AMD X870E chipset supports more PCIe lanes, more USB ports, and more SATA ports than the X870 chipset.
Designed to help simplify builds, MSI’s EZ technology makes it easy to install up to two M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs and two PCIe 4.0 drives to store your games library, applications, and important files. Four DDR5 DIMM slots are available for up to 256GB of memory, which may be overclocked for higher performance. With one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16, and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, you can add multiple graphics cards and other compatible expansions.
The rear panel features two USB4 ports that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with compatible devices or connect a USB-C compatible 8K display. There’s also one USB-C and two USB-A ports that work with 10 Gb/s devices. You can reserve the three 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and the four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and webcams. An internal header allows you to use a 20 Gb/s USB-C Gen 2×2 port on the front panel. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port provide you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth video streaming and low-latency online games. Windows 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard’s features.
The Performance Switch combines AMD’s Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) technology with MSI’s own overlocking settings for higher CPU performance.
MSI PBO Thermal Point settings provide maximum CPU temperature levels, allowing it to operate at lower voltage but maintain the same performance.
Config TDP is designed to provide an ECO Mode (65W) or a different TDP (PPT/TDC/EDC) setting for advanced users.
