Facing a choice between the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI and MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI. New i9 12900k with RTX 3060ti already installed. Also planning to use Corsair Vengeance (2x32GB) at 6000MHz CL40.

Reminder, you'll need the DDR4 model to operate your DDR4 RAM, as they're typically sold as DDR5.

The price gap between the two options is significant. Carbon stands out as the superior choice, yet it seems unlikely to justify an additional $100 to $200.

DDR5 is the latest processor architecture available. You can find more details on Amazon.

It depends on whether you believe the POST code adds value. Most likely it doesn’t, making the Tomahawk a safer choice.
