    Problems with network drivers when installing Windows

    I had a little trouble installing Windows 11 because the network card drivers were not recognised. However, the problem was quickly solved thanks to a small line of code in the Windows command prompt. Since then, the motherboard has been running smoothly and I'm happy with it.

    Perfect!

    Frankly, the MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard was a great surprise! What I liked best was the ease of installation and the connectivity options. The built-in WiFi is super-fast and stable, which meant I could say goodbye to bulky cables. It really enhanced my experience, especially when I wanted to keep my setup clean and organised.

    I chose this model because I was looking for a reliable motherboard that was compatible with the latest generations of Intel processors, and that offered a good balance between performance and functionality. And honestly, it far exceeds my expectations. The numerous port options, the M.2 slots for SSDs, and the easy BIOS settings really made my life easier.

    The strong points? Clearly, the build quality, the ultra-complete connectivity (WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2), and the impeccable thermal management. What's more, the RGB lighting is a nice little bonus that adds style to my tower. The only minor weak points are perhaps the price, which remains a little high, and the documentation, which could be a little more detailed. But all in all, I'm really pleased with my choice!

    CM recommended for a configuration that will last into the future

    A sober and efficient motherboard that performs so well.
    At first I was going to use an Asus, but now I've decided to go with an rtx 4070 12GB founder edition for my top-of-the-range configuration.

    + More than satisfied for gaming
