Packaging and Contents

Starting off, we can take a quick look at the box. The front of MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 box as a keeps the military theme that has been used for multiple generations now. In the center of the front is the product name, just in case you missed it elsewhere. Flip the box around and we can see a depiction of the motherboard with a column on the left and right as a showcase of features this MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4. Below that are the system specifications and in a depiction of the rear IO.


MSI has kept to the basics here as far as accessories go. Included in the box is the Wi-Fi antennas, SATA cables and a USB flash drive (which holds all the drivers and software). What is missing however, is the user manual. It seems MSI and other companies as of late are moving away from including a physical manual with their products. This shift would have been okay if the USB drive included a digital copy of the manual; but it does not. The importance of a motherboard manual varies between users, but more often than not, if you're unfamiliar with the system that you are building, a user manual can be very helpful in deciding what components go where and how to properly set up everything.
