MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi DDR5 Motherboard Overview - 13700K Test Bench Upgrade
Ever since review my RTX 4090 graphics card, I felt like my test bench was due for an upgrade because of the CPU limitations I was seeing from the 5800X. Therefore, with holiday deals on going for PC hardware I decided I might as well upgrade the test bench with a more competent CPU that will allow my 4090 to stretch its legs and also allow me to do more GPU tests without having to worry about my CPU hurting results. I decided to go for the i7-13700K from Intel, with its fast 8 p-cores it should definitely be a nice pairing with the likes of the RTX 4090. MSI was also kind enough to send over their Z790 Carbon Wifi motherboard, its feature packed and will allow me to comfortably overclock the CPU and memory.

Dude, you rock! Not only was this an excellent review, but you touched on my concern about the ALC4080, which I’ve had before with the staticky audio. You MADE MY DAY
thank you for the much needed info on the m.2 slots that for me was the most important info I needed
I have the exact same motherboard, CPU, and GPU. I hope you will make some tuning videos for your CPU. Thanks for your videos. I subbed.
first time viewer. good presentation good details. thank you for a good video. I will subscribe
I got the MSI Carbon Z790 and was wondering if you could do a bios walkthrough like settings you have tried and how to optimize been on Asus for years and trying to wrap my head around some of this. Also Subscribed.
Nice work man, Just picked one up myself

It's a really solid board, I finally picked up some A-die 7400MT/s ram I'll be doing some testing with soon

@@DannyzReviews nice will be interested in your results.
Looking forward to this and subbed. Have the 13700K/4090 and was looking at this motherboard so will be interesting to see what you think.
I'm going to get this setup
Thank you
Got same with rtx 4080
Great video, but I do have a question. MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi II Gaming Motherboard. if you use the top M.2 slot then the PCI express below it will run at half bandwidth. Is this true and would using the one below it work better? Thanks for the help.
DanyBOY , Oh¡¡. You are grand¡¡¡.
That's an impressive motherboard you got there, Danny! Which power cables are you using for the 4090? I got the Corsair one and still waiting on Cablemod's right angled adapter for the Gaming X Trio to help manage the cables a bit better.

I'm using an adapter from fasgear, bought it from amazon for about $25 CAD. Its been rock solid since day 1, no issues, gives an audible click, and looks way better since the wires are individually sleeved. amzn.to/3vy7O0Y

@@DannyzReviews Just to confirm, also have the Fasgear cable for my 4090 made for my EVGA g6 1000w PSU and absolutly no issue since launch..
Does this board prioritize gaming network/connection? I saw that others from MSI do but cant find details for this board! Thank you great review.
Hey I got a prebuilt from a company with this mobo, is there a way to check myself which slot they installed my m.2 into? Just wanted to make sure its not the slot right above the GPU like you were pointing out in the video!
only display Port is missing ...
I have the same motherboard and gpu as well. Usually only go Asus, but their prices keep going up and wanted to try something different. Hope you make a CPU tuning video as well. Want to overclock my 13900K properly.
Good afternoon come easy, will a 4k capture card elgato fit in the bottom PC 16 x slot?
I hear that the cmos battery is hard to change as it’s buried under a heat shield.
Hi! I am looking forward to buy this MOBO but version 2 or II the MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI II and Wanted to ask your thoughts on the build I am thinking of. GPU PNY GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB VERTO O PSU MSI MPG A850G CPU I7-14700k SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 2TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 RAM G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 (PC5 57600) Idk wich Cooler system and Case. Please let me know what you thing of this build or if you have any recomendation. Thank you!!!!
hey! I'm planning to buy this motherboard for i9-13900k, but I'm not sure if it'd support my ram. I have ddr4 hyperx 32gb ram and I'm not sure if this motherboard would support it. Please reply as fast as you can, it'd be very much appreciated
hello, have you had any problems accessing the bios or the usb boot key because it is impossible for me on my z790 carbon, my pc starts up and arrives directly on the windows page, do you have a tip because I don't know what to do? it works 1 time out of 50
Just to clarify it is Mega transfers not megahertz for RAM speeds. And 36CL is pretty slow for gaming ram at 6000 mega transfers. Also, this board does NOT have Thunderbolt. It would need to be USB 4 to also be a thunderbolt port. I own this board and it converted me from ASUS and Gigabyte. It is one of the best if not the best Z790 board on the market.
Hi mate! I have msi z790-a wifi ddr4 Core i7 13700k Rtx 4070ti but my psu have just one 8-pin cpu connecter. Should i buy new psu for another 8-pin or its enough with one? Thank you!
So if you put a ssd in the gen 5 m.2 slot your gpu will be capped at x8 and if you put an ssd in one of the gen 4 slots the gpu can run at x16?
Nice pc. I think I will be using my 5800x3d setup for a while yet. I want to upgrade my 3090 because it runs hot, I play games at 4k.
👍👍👍
Is it worth the extra money to get this over the z790p wifi ddr5?
I have the exact same cpu and mobo, but when I place 2 sticks of ram it won’t boot, just with one do you know why?
Bluetooth should be 5.2 version, not 5.3...
Hi:) this motherboard need flash bios with usb before cpu ram ect for the 13th cpus?

Did u download the drivers from the included USB device.
Will an Intel Core i9-13900K be compatible with this?
I can see 6000mhz at the box memories but in the bios setup screen shows 6400mhz. Can you explain me how can I setup it?

if I recall you need to change the XMP in the bios to get the most out of your ram, I had to do it with mine
Can the ram run 5600mhz jedec?
