MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) built on the AMD X570 chipset with an AM4 socket, designed for AMD Ryzen desktop processors spanning the 2000, 3000, 4000 G-Series, 5000, and 5000 G-Series families. It pairs a robust feature set with proven connectivity options, making it a capable platform for gaming enthusiasts and power users who demand both performance and reliability. At the heart of its networking capability is an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 module pre-installed in the dedicated M.2 Key-E slot, supporting 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with MU-MIMO TX/RX at up to 2.4 Gbps over a 160 MHz channel. Wired connectivity is handled by a Realtek 8125B 2.5 Gbps LAN controller, delivering throughput well beyond standard Gigabit connections. Bluetooth 5.2 is also included via the same wireless module. Memory support extends to four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of non-ECC unbuffered RAM. Standard JEDEC speeds range from 1866 MHz to 3200 MHz, with A-XMP overclocking profiles reaching up to 5100 MHz under single-rank, single-DIMM-per-channel configurations on Ryzen 5000 and 3000 Series processors. Storage flexibility comes from two M.2 Key-M slots—M2_1 drawing bandwidth from the processor and supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 (and 2280/22110 form factors) with Ryzen 5000/3000 Series CPUs, and M2_2 from the X570 chipset supporting 2242/2260/2280 devices. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports supplement M.2 storage, and RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations are supported. PCIe expansion includes one x16 slot from the processor (PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16) and one x16 slot from the chipset (PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4), plus two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. Audio is powered by a Realtek ALC4080 codec delivering 7.1-channel high-definition audio with S/PDIF optical output. For video output on APU-equipped processors, a single HDMI 2.1 port supports up to 4K 60Hz. USB connectivity is comprehensive: the back panel provides USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-A and Type-C ports (from the processor), additional USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps Type-A ports from the chipset, plus USB 2.0 Type-A. Internal headers add further Gen 1 and USB 2.0 expansion. Thermal management is addressed through an extended PWM heatsink design and M.2 Shield Frozr covers. RGB enthusiasts will find two 4-pin RGB headers, two 3-pin ARGB headers, and four EZ Debug LEDs with a dedicated EZ LED Control switch. The board carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
