MSI MAG Z890 TOMAHAWK WiFi — value that doesn’t sabotage performance

Tomahawk preserves PEG Gen5 x16 and CPU-Gen5 M.2, gives you multiple Gen4 bays with real heatsinks, and a VRM fin stack that’s bigger than you’d expect for the price. Training for high-7K XMP is easy at 96–128 GB, and MSI’s debug LEDs/postcode save time on day-one boot.
