How to install MSI Z790-P WIFI Desktop Motherboard

• Prepare your PC case: remove the existing motherboard tray covers, install the I/O shield in the case, and ensure standoff spacing matches the ATX form factor for a secure mounting.
• Install the processor: locate the LGA-1700 socket, align the CPU with the alignment markers, and gently seat it before locking the socket lever in place.
• Apply thermal interface material and mount the CPU cooler: apply a small, even amount of thermal paste if required by your cooler, then attach the cooler securely to ensure optimal heat transfer.
• Install memory: insert DDR5 memory modules into the appropriate DIMM slots as indicated by the motherboard’s manual, applying even pressure until they click into place on both sides.
• Install storage and expansion cards: insert M.2 NVMe drives into the designated slots and secure with screws; seat any PCIe expansion cards or GPUs into the correct PCIe slots and secure with screws.
• Connect power and front-panel cables: attach the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4+4) CPU power connector, then connect peripheral, USB, audio, and front-panel connectors according to the motherboard manual. Finally, mount the board in the case and tighten all screws evenly to avoid warping.
• Power on and configure BIOS: first boot may require a BIOS update to ensure full compatibility with DDR5 memory and 12th/13th‑Gen Intel processors; adjust memory XMP profiles, fan curves, boot order, and any mounting preferences for your workload.
