Finished Looks

The MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 has no onboard RGB lighting at all. In an all black setup, the motherboard is best left in the background allowing the system memory, video card and case lighting to take the show. That's of course only important if color themes are part of a computer setup. Otherwise, it is just a motherboard and aesthetics do not matter.

Test System

Supporting Hardware

Testing is performed with the newest available version of the BIOS at the time of review. All BIOS settings related to the CPU are left untouched. XMP is enabled for the memory. However, if the primary, secondary or tertiary memory timings are incorrectly set by the BIOS, it is tested as-is, to mimic a standard user. The same goes for the CPU. Unless it is a bug in the current BIOS—i.e., not present in other versions—any and all CPU boost parameters are left alone.
