MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI – Hardwareluxx

Many will already ask themselves why we decided to do a short test with the MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI. The reason is quite obvious: The substructure of the MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI used by MSI is, with a few exceptions, identical to the already tested MSI MAG Z690 TORPEDO (Hardwareluxx test) . The connections, but also the VRM area, were adopted 1:1 and so a 16+1+1 phase design is used. On the one hand, the aforementioned exceptions apply to the Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 module, which is not present in the MAG Z690 TORPEDO.

MSI Z690 & B660 Roundup – Tech Testers

Although we started working with the DDR5 version ourselves, it appears that it is hardly for sale in the Netherlands, while the DDR4 variant is readily available, normally for just under 200 euros. Exactly the same board in every way, but with DDR4 memory support which just makes more sense at the moment. Now 200 euros still seems like quite a lot of money for a motherboard if you haven’t built a new PC for a while, but in 2022 that is about the starting point for a decent middle-class board.

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI – Pokde

MSI has clearly targeted a cleaner look with the MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WiFi, and I would say they largely succeeded. The darker color scheme and understated aesthetic reminds me of the MEG UNIFY series of motherboards, instead of the more striking design of the MAG Z590 Tomahawk WiFi. I definitely commend MSI for offering a premium look at a more value-oriented lineup.
