Overview
The MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the Intel Z390 chipset, designed to support 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors in the LGA 1151 socket. Its extended heatsink design and M.2 Shield Frozr thermal cover work together to keep critical components cool under sustained workloads, while the pre-installed I/O shielding simplifies case installation. For storage enthusiasts, the board offers two Key-M M.2 slots — M2_1 supporting 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors, and M2_2 supporting 2242, 2260, and 2280 — both capable of PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6 Gb/s speeds. Six additional SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out the storage options, and Intel Optane Memory is supported. RAID configurations 0, 1, 5, and 10 are available for SATA devices, while RAID 0 and 1 are available for M.2 PCIe devices. Networking is a standout feature: dual Intel Gigabit LAN controllers — the I219-V and I211- provide simultaneous wired connectivity for both intranet and internet traffic. An Intel CNVi-ready Key-E M.2 slot accepts compatible wireless modules. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots capable of up to 128 GB total, operating in dual-channel mode with speeds from 2133 MHz up to 4400 MHz (OC), including Intel XMP profiles. Non-ECC, unbuffered memory is required. Expansion slots include three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (supporting x16/x4/x1 modes) and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, with 2-Way AMD CrossFire multi-GPU support. USB connectivity is comprehensive: four USB 3.1 Gen2 ports (one Type-C and three Type-A on the rear panel), four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports via internal headers, and six USB 2.0 ports split between the rear panel and internal connectors. Onboard audio is handled by a Realtek ALC892 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio with optical S/PDIF output. RGB enthusiasts will appreciate MSI MYSTIC LIGHT support with two 4-pin RGB headers and one 3-pin RAINBOW LED header, enabling 16.8 million colour combinations across 29 lighting effects.
