Prawn here with a feature review of the MSI Z790 Gaming Pro Wifi motherboard which I built inside the Fractal Design North case https://youtu.be/QTVlt1wQG7U. I used two different CPUs in this build as I wanted to test and show off a number of different things which you might find interesting. This is a Z790 motherboard which means it’ll work with Intel 12th, 13th and 14th generation CPUs. Though you’ll likely need a BIOS update first.
