In general, I am very satisfied with the motherboard, but unfortunately its price (like all PC parts nowadays) does not correspond to what you get. If it was closer to 180-210 euros, it would be a 5 out of 5. Now I would give it more of a 4.5.

Advantages:
- What sets it apart from the competition at this price is that it has a very rich I/O, with a plethora of options and ALL USB ports are 3.0 and above. It has some incredibly fast 3.2 and type C ports, easy BIOS update/reset, WiFi, and optional HDMI. It also offers the option for USB 3 and type C for the front panel.
- It has the top chipset (Z790) for socket 1700, without completely exceeding the price (although there are more economical options with the same chipset, but without all the extra features it offers).
- It supports DDR-5 with a high clock speed (up to 7200 OC), but even when I run it at 5600 with XMP profile, it works flawlessly and their prices are now almost as affordable as DDR4, so I don't see a reason for someone in 2024 to invest in older technology.
- It has plenty of ports (4) for NVMe and supports PCI-e Gen5 (for future use, even though the price-performance ratio makes it prohibitive).
- Good thermal management and quality capacitors, which gives confidence to those who want to overclock their system.
- Sufficient built-in fan control for conventional fans, RGB LED control (4 and 3 pin JRGB V2), and liquid cooling management.
- Quality audio chipset.
- User-friendly BIOS interface.

Disadvantages:
- I can't find any immediate disadvantage, except that I would like it to be 15-20% cheaper, because motherboard prices are getting higher and higher.
- For some, the lack of RGB lighting on the motherboard and its completely black and stealth color will definitely be a disadvantage, but for me, these were advantages and another reason to choose it, so now we are talking subjectively about a matter of taste.
- I would like to have a few more options and customizations in the BIOS, compared to what the competition offers.

Coming from 2 ASUS motherboards that in a total of 15 years never had any issues, in 2024 I decided to switch to MSI.
9 months later, the main PCI-e short-circuited and its clip broke on the very first (!) time I opened it.
11 months later (today) I am still struggling with MSI's ridiculous aftersales, which refuses the warranty. First, with email responses delayed by 5 days, like "change HDMI" or "restart," and in the end, they refuse the warranty due to the broken part.

  • The MSI Tomahawk Z790 is simply top-notch. Very good build quality, heavy and sturdy motherboard with strong VRMs — it doesn't flinch under load.
    I paired it with DDR5 Kingston Fury 4x8GB at 5600 and an Intel 13700KF and it flies. Flawless stability, no freezes or weird issues. The BIOS is easy and has many options for anyone who wants to dig deeper.
    It has everything in terms of connections: Bluetooth, WiFi, plenty of USBs, PCIe 5.0, so you won't miss anything. And temperature-wise, it performs very well.

    The card is good overall, I paired it with a 13700K and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB DDR5 6400mhz and PSU rm1000x, and it has coil whine. Maybe it's this specific one. I will gradually change the PSU and RAM to CORSAIR and see if it goes away. I read somewhere that if you turn off the RGB on the RAM, it might decrease. (It didn't work for me though.)

    I upgraded to the MSI Z690 EDGE DDR4 because I wanted to try DDR5 memory and zero RGB. I have been using it for a week now and I haven't encountered any issues, neither with the XMP G.SKILL TridentZ 6400CL32 memory nor with increased temperatures with the 13700K. However, in terms of price, it should have been around 250 euros instead of 330, considering that the Z690 Tomahawk DDR5 is priced at 220 euros and they don't have any significant differences.

    I upgraded to the MSI Z690 EDGE DDR4 because I wanted to try DDR5 memory and zero RGB. I have been using it for a week now and I haven't encountered any issues, neither with the XMP G.SKILL TridentZ 6400CL32 memory nor with increased temperatures with the 13700K. However, in terms of price, it should have been around 250 euros instead of 330, considering that the Z690 Tomahawk DDR5 is priced at 220 euros and they don't have any significant differences.

    I can't find anything negative but I don't think it's worth 5/5

  • The MSI Tomahawk Z790 is simply top-notch. Very good build quality, heavy and sturdy motherboard with strong VRMs — it doesn't flinch under load.
    I paired it with DDR5 Kingston Fury 4x8GB at 5600 and an Intel 13700KF and it flies. Flawless stability, no freezes or weird issues. The BIOS is easy and has many options for anyone who wants to dig deeper.
    It has everything in terms of connections: Bluetooth, WiFi, plenty of USBs, PCIe 5.0, so you won't miss anything. And temperature-wise, it performs very well.

  • The ports provide the speeds and reliability they promise. I haven't used the wifi to have an opinion.

    Is the BIOS comfortable?

  • The card is good overall, I paired it with a 13700K and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB DDR5 6400mhz and PSU rm1000x, and it has coil whine. Maybe it's this specific one. I will gradually change the PSU and RAM to CORSAIR and see if it goes away. I read somewhere that if you turn off the RGB on the RAM, it might decrease. (It didn't work for me though.)
