MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WIFI is a powerful ATX motherboard for AMD Ryzen processors with the AM5 socket. It supports DDR5 up to 8400+ MT/s, PCIe 5.0, four M.2 slots, fast 5G LAN, Wi‑Fi 7, and USB connectivity including USB‑C 20 Gb/s for modern gaming and workstations.
Ready for AM5 performance
The AMD AM5 platform with the AMD B850 chipset supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series desktop processors. Four DDR5 slots allow up to 256 GB of system memory with AMD EXPO support and speeds of up to 8400+ MT/s when overclocked.
Fast expansion and storage
The main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is designed for modern graphics cards. Four M.2 slots, two of which support PCIe 5.0 x4, are complemented by four SATA 6 Gb/s connectors for flexible configuration of fast storage.
Next-generation networking
The motherboard combines 5G LAN with Wi‑Fi 7 wireless connectivity and Bluetooth 5.4. For connecting peripherals, it also offers USB‑C 20 Gb/s for the front panel, USB 10 Gb/s, USB 5 Gb/s, and USB 2.0.
The MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WIFI motherboard provides a robust foundation for powerful computers with AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series desktop processors. The AMD B850 chipset, four DDR5 memory slots, and maximum capacity of up to 256 GB provide ample performance and room for future expansion. AMD EXPO support makes it easy to take advantage of high-speed memory profiles.
The main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is ready for a graphics card, while four M.2 slots allow you to build extremely fast storage. Two M.2 connectors support PCIe 5.0 x4, and the motherboard also offers four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Convenient technologies such as EZ PCIe Release and EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II, with tool-free heatsink attachment, make assembly easier.
