MSI are no stranger to high-end motherboards, and today, we’ve got their lovely new MAG X870E TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI. While this isn’t their most extreme motherboard, both in terms of features and price, it’s still very much brimming with premium features. Primarily designed for gamers who want high-performance from the latest graphics cards, processors and storage devices, it’s ticking all the right boxes. It pairs this with ultra-fast connectivity too, with the latest Wi-Fi 7 and 5G LAN handling networking, as well as super fast USB 40Gbps.
MSI X870E TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
Equipped to handle the latest AMD AM5 processors, such as the Ryzen 7000, 8000 and latest 9000 series, its 14+2+1 phase VRM design is backed by a pair of 8-pin power connectors, ensuring it can drive the big power requirements of the flagship gaming CPUs with ease, while still having headroom for boost clocks and overclocking, as well as providing long term voltage stability during those long gaming sessions. Of course, all that power means more heat, so you’ll be glad to see a full array of VRM heatsinks, armour, and M.2 cooling solutions that will help maintain the reliability and performance, but of course, we know it all makes the motherboard look cooler too, not just stay cooler.
