MSI GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI Overview

Take your gaming and content creation experiences to a new level by including the MSI MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard in your computer build. Supporting AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors with the AM5 socket, gamers and enthusiasts can outfit this motherboard to smoothly handle demanding applications and AI workloads.

Designed to help simplify builds, MSI's EZ technology makes it easy to install one M.2 PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 SSDs to store your games library, applications, and important files. There are also four SATA III connectors available. You can install up to 256GB of DDR5 memory, supporting up 8200 MT/s overclocked speeds, across four DIMM slots. With a PCIe 5.0 x16, PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4), and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, you can install powerful graphics cards and other compatible expansions.

The rear panel features a USB4 port that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with compatible devices and supports compatible displays. A USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port works with up to 20 Gb/s devices. It's also loaded with two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports that support 10 Gb/s devices. Additional peripherals may be connected to the two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB-A 2.0 ports. An internal header allows you to connect a front panel 10 Gb/s USB-C port. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support with a 5 Gb/s Ethernet ports provide you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth 8K video streaming and low-latency online games. Windows 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.

AI PC
AI Engine
The AI Engine provides you with several categories to sync applications to and automatically optimize them to create a comfortable environment.
AI LAN Manager
Optimize your network performance while minimizing latency for a seamless online experience.
Frozr AI Cooling
Automatically adjust your fan speed to make sure the system stays cool and stable.
AI Boost
Overclock the processor's NPU for higher AI performance.
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 VRM design built with a total of 14+2+1 digital power phases. By combining dual power connectors and 60A Smart Power Stage, the MAG GAMING PLUS MAX is ready for high-end processors and hardware.
Optimized PCB Design
The 8-layer PCB design is 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. It is compatible with a wide range of memory overclocking features, including Memory Try It!!, EXPO, A-XMP, High-Efficiency Mode, and more.
    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.
    Protection
    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.
    Overcurrent Protection
    Embedded Overcurrent Protection (OCP) ensures that crucial components such as the USB ports, DDR memory, PWM IC, and CPU are shielded from excessive current. This reduces the risk of damage or malfunction due to power surges.
    Grounding Structure
    MSI's grounded structure design suppresses the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the power phases and helps to efficiently conduct heat to the copper plane.
    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.
    Supplemental PCIe Power
    A Supplemental PCIe Power connector provides dedicated power for the high-power demands of GPUs used in AI computing and gaming to help ensure stable, efficient, and sustained performance.
    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 Light–compatible keyboards, mice, monitors, and other peripherals.
