MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard

The MSI X870TMAHAWKWIFI is an ATX motherboard that pairs the AMD X870 chipset with the AM5 socket, giving you a reliable platform for Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors. Whether you are building a high-refresh gaming rig or a content-creation workstation, it supplies the bandwidth, power delivery, and expansion headroom needed for demanding workloads.

You can install up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory across four DIMM slots, with speeds that climb to 8400 MT/s. That capacity leaves plenty of room for large project files, virtual machines, or memory-hungry games, while the high frequency keeps frame rates and render times moving quickly.

Storage is handled by four M.2 slots. Two of them run at PCIe 5.0 x4, so next-generation NVMe drives can push load screens and data transfers well beyond what SATA or PCIe 4.0 can deliver. The remaining two M.2 slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4, giving you flexible options for additional fast drives. MSI’s M.2 Clip II design holds each SSD in place without screws, making upgrades simple.

For expansion cards, a full-length PCIe 5.0 x16 slot stands ready for modern graphics cards, while additional PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 slots accommodate capture cards, storage controllers, or sound cards. A 14+2+1 phase VRM with 80 A Smart Power Stages keeps the CPU supplied with clean power, even during extended rendering sessions or overclocking experiments.

Connectivity on the rear panel is forward-looking. Dual USB4 ports move data at up to 40 Gb/s and can drive compatible USB-C displays. A separate USB-C Gen 2 port, multiple USB-A ports, and an internal USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 header deliver fast links for external drives and front-panel hubs. Networking is covered by integrated Wi-Fi 7, which reaches up to 5.8 Gb/s on tri-band routers, and a 5 GbE Ethernet port for low-latency, wired connections.

Builders will appreciate quality-of-life touches such as the EZ PCIe Release latch, which lets you swap GPUs without wrestling with tight case clearances. Together with the board’s sturdy heatsinks and thoughtful layout, these features make the MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI a practical choice for anyone aiming to assemble a performance-focused system that will stay current for years.
