Decent value if you don’t mind missing out on some bells and whistles
The MSI Z790-P PRO WiFi comes at an attractive price and offers some nice modern features such as 2.5GbE, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C and up to 192GB DDR5-7000. Power delivery is also solid, at least during testing, although on paper 14+1+1 phase power at 55A doesn’t sound great. At this price point you don’t get 14 true phases, so the Z790-P PRO WiFi won’t wow you with its overclocking prowess, but it’ll certainly get the job done.
The onboard audio codec is the Realtek ALC897 7.1, which we haven’t seen on many motherboards in years, as it’s more than a little outdated. There may also be a problem with the Intel 2.5GbE port, FPS review sometimes lost it after a reboot and I couldn’t recover it without rebooting again. If you have a USB audio solution and are happy with the performance that the two antennas provide over your WiFi 6 connection, none of these points should bother you.
Price-wise it’s a pretty solid base for a budget system, just keep in mind the sacrifices MSI made to get to that cost.
