MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi AM5 DDR5 PCIe 5.0 ATX Motherboard

Enjoy smooth gaming and content creation performance by including the MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard in your next build. Supporting AMD 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors with the AM5 socket, this motherboard can be outfitted with overclocked components to handle demanding applications and AI-enhanced workloads. An ideal companion for a Ryzen 9000 CPU, the AMD X870E chipset supports more PCIe lanes, more USB ports, and more SATA ports than the X870 chipset.

Designed to help simplify builds, MSI's EZ technology makes it easy to install up to two M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs and two PCIe 4.0 drives to store your games library, applications, and important files. Four DDR5 DIMM slots are available for up to 256GB of memory, which may be overclocked for higher performance. With one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16, and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, you can add multiple graphics cards and other compatible expansions.

The rear panel features two USB4 ports that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with compatible devices or connect a USB-C compatible 8K display. There's also one USB-C and two USB-A ports that work with 10 Gb/s devices. You can reserve the three 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and the four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and webcams. An internal header allows you to use a 20 Gb/s USB-C Gen 2x2 port on the front panel. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port provide you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth video streaming and low-latency online games. Windows 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.

EZ Installation

EZ M.2 Clip II

MSI's EZ M.2 CLIP II makes SSD installation seamless. Insert the SSD into the M.2 slot and press it down to lock it in place with the clip. Flicking the clip outward lets you remove the SSD. Use the EZ M.2 Clip II remover tool to detach or reposition the clip on the motherboard.

EZ PCIe Release

An easy-to-access physical button release mechanism helps to remove any PCIe card with a single tap, making it easier to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

Flash BIOS

Flash the BIOS with only a connected power supply and a flash drive. No CPU or memory required.

Clear CMOS

Restore the BIOS to its default settings with the push of a button.

Ultra Performance

Power Solution

Unleash and sustain the maximum performance with a flagship VRM design built with a total of 14+2+1 digital power phases. By combining dual power connectors and 80A Smart Power Stage, the MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI is ready for high-end processors and hardware.

Optimized PCB Design

The 8-layer PCB design features 2 oz of thickened copper and has been optimized for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.

EZ OC Tuning

MSI's Performance Preset allows you to easily boost performance by setting the power limitations.

The Performance Switch combines AMD's Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) technology with MSI's own overlocking settings for higher CPU performance.

MSI PBO Thermal Point settings provide maximum CPU temperature levels, allowing it to operate at lower voltage but maintain the same performance.

Config TDP is designed to provide an ECO Mode (65W) or a different TDP (PPT/TDC/EDC) setting for advanced users.

DDR5 Memory Support

High-performance DDR5 memory works with a dedicated SMT welding process and MSI Memory Boost technology to deliver exceptional performance.

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are safety devices used to protect against excessive voltage. All MSI motherboards are equipped with TVS. When the voltage abnormally rises, the TVS switches from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, diverting the excessive voltage to ground. This helps prevent circuit damage caused by high voltage.

Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) introduces higher speeds, wider channels, improved efficiency, and reduced latency over Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), with maximum speeds of up to 5.8 Gb/s. Utilizing 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band ensures reliability during simultaneous transmissions at max speeds and the 4096 QAM boosts peak transmission rates and network capacity. Multi-Link Operation enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across several frequency bands and channels to meet traffic demands and the growing number of wireless devices.

FROZR Design

FROZR Guard

The enhanced thermal design, which includes M.2 heat sinks, maintains optimal performance during extensive workloads.

FROZR Sync

Connect and synchronize MSI coolers and cases with strategically positioned pin-header locations including a dedicated pump-fan header.

FROZR Control

The Cooling Wizard serves as a comprehensive solution for managing fan settings. It ensures superior cooling performance and noise reduction for your gaming PC, offering compatibility with PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable options, and intuitive temperature monitoring for optimal operation with one click.

Expansion

PCIe 5.0

Doubling the speed of the previous generation, the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface can reach 128 GB/s.

SMT PCIe 5.0 Slot

The advanced SMT (Surface Mount Technology) PCIe slot diminishes interference and electrical noise to fully support the PCI-E 5.0 signal.

Steel Armor II

Compared to the previous generation, Steel Armor II's weight endurance has increased by 21%, ensuring excellent signal transmission quality.

Experience

Audio Boost 5

The integrated audio system features an ALC4080 processor that immerses you in crystal clear sound using a dedicated headphone amplifier, isolated audio signal, and de-pop protection.

Mystic Light

Customize the RGB lighting with a variety of effects and sync them with Mystic Lightcompatible keyboards, mice, monitors, and other peripherals.

MSI Center

MSI Center unifies a suite of MSI software utilities into a single centralized application. Take control of advanced motherboard features.

AIDA64 Extreme

The AIDA64 Extreme application allows for system information, diagnostics, and benchmarks. With the application, you can monitor the detailed hardware and software information on PC and save it to file in multiple formats such as CSV and HTML. A 60-day subscription is included.
