MSI Motherboard MAG X870E TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI sAM5 X870E 4xDDR5 M.2 HDMI Wi-Fi BT ATX

Features

The MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard is based on the AMD X870E chipset and supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors for the AM5 platform. A 14+2+1 Duet Rail Power System with 80 A Smart Power Stages, dual 8-pin CPU power connectors, and DDR5 memory support up to 8400+ MT/s (OC) provides stable operation for high-performance systems.

The motherboard includes four M.2 slots, two of which support PCIe 5.0 x4, along with four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is designed for modern graphics cards, while EZ PCIe Release simplifies graphics card removal.

The cooling system features enlarged heatsinks, 7 W/m·K MOSFET thermal pads, and EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II heatsinks. The tool-free EZ M.2 Clip II design simplifies SSD installation, while Flash BIOS and Clear CMOS functions make maintenance more convenient.

The motherboard supports 5G LAN, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. The rear panel includes two USB4 Type-C ports, HDMI 2.1, an optical S/PDIF output, and EZ Debug LED indicators for system diagnostics.
