Pros
The z690-a motherboard has a high-quality finish and build quality that makes it look fantastic in my system. Features such as mystic light are really handy and having the jrgb pins on board avoided having to have additional controllers which was a hu... Read More
Easy to use msi afterburner to overclock any compatible cpu. The bios allows you to choose your type of cpu cooler and tunes your cpu power to match. After changing this, the cpu runs much cooler with no throttling.
I7 12700k paired with patriot viper steel 3600mhz in xmp-1 and crucial p5 plus m. This is the best motherboard you can get for the price after spending a lot of time looking around in my opinion that is well made with lots of heatsinks and packet full... Read More
I am pleasantly surprised at the amount of features this motherboard comes with. It has a massive 4 nvme expansion slots, one being gen4 and the others gen3. The mb has plenty of connections for m.
New build with 12600kf, excellent product with onboard latest generation of wifi and bluetooth. Usb type c header, 2. Usb ports, and 8 usb ports.
Cons
With this motherboard, video games are guaranteed to hitch and stutter due to the efficiency cores (e-cores) and drm software. Not recommended, xmp profit issues as well as not enough bios updates. Same problems with replacement board, going gygabite ... Read More
Highlights
Quality
It's not the most fancy looking motherboard out there but price quality is very good.
Overall i am very surprised at the consideration of convenience in the way it was designed.
Be aware that the cpu sockets need the new type of cooler which are rarely supplied with the cpu.
Very happy with the machine so far, reason for 3 stars for value is this quite simple motherboard feels overpriced at £200.
Price
I do wish the software would be just as good as their msi tomahawk, but that's where the price differences are i suppose.
Competitiveness
The z690-a motherboard has a high-quality finish and build quality that makes it look fantastic in my system.
Ample storage options including nvme drives, sufficiently fast ram speed support, fast pcie lanes, all for a great price.
This is due to interference with vrm passive coolers.
Easy to use msi afterburner to overclock any compatible cpu.
