PREMIUM HARDWARE DESIGN With years of experience, MSI is no stranger to building high- performance motherboards. Our R&D and engineering teams have reviewed countless designs, evaluated a wide selection of high quality components, and developed products for reliability even under extreme conditions. DIRECT 18 + 1 +1 PHASES POWER DESIGN Unleash and sustain maximum performance with an aggressive VRM design built with a total of direct 18 +1+1 power phases. Combining 2x 8-pin power connectors and exclusive Core Boost technology, MPG series motherboard is ready to sustain heavy daily work. Core Boost technology combines MSI’s premium layout and digital power design which allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the CPU at pin-point precision. Not only supporting multi-core CPU, also creating the perfect conditions for your CPU overclocking. MSI Game Boost enables one-second overclocking, giving you the performance boost you need to get more FPS. MSI conducts thorough memory testing with the most popular memory brands under extreme conditions to ensure your system runs stable no matter what. Our memory partners include brands like Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, G.Skill and many more to optimize memory modules, configurations and even improve overclocking. The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) welding process reduces the defect rate of slot solder joints, electromagnetism, and interference. Combining with exclusive Memory Boost technology allows MSI motherboards to deliver the clean and pure high-frequency DDR5 signal. The XMP (Extreme Memory Profiles) in MSI BIOS are tested and certified by MSI OC LAB. It is easy to enable with auto power settings to get the best memory speed and stability.

A: You can find the memory QVL list for the MPG Z690 CARBON WiFi motherboard on the link provided. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z690-CARBON-WIFI/support#mem
Q: Can i use a ddr5 ram on this motherboard
A: Yes, I'm running 4 16gb sticks of Corsair Dominator now.
Q: This says its for DDR5, is it backwards compatible with other RAM? would DDR4 work as well?
A: DDR5 and DDR4 are physically different and cannot be interchangeable.
A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Yes, the MSI - MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI Socket LGA 1700 is compatible with the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor. Motherboard CPU compatibility: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z690-CARBON-WIFI/support#cpu For more detailed information about the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K Processor, please visit: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/230496/intel-core-i913900k-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz.html Thank you for choosing Intel! Emilio.
Q: When will i even be able to buy DDR5 Memory?
A: It’s going to take a few months for them to be available to purchase anywhere. You can still get it with random drops through Best Buy, newegg, etc. I used nowinstock to secure mine.
A: Yes, to support the 13th gen CPUs you'll need to update your bios on this motherboard. Easy task. You don't even need to install the CPU for the update.
