Q: DDR4 ?

A: This board uses DDR5 only.

Q: Are any of the M.2 slots gated by CPU type? My current MB requires 11th gen Intel to use the full speed of 2 of the M.2 slots, as I have 10th gen I have to use the slower slots. Anything funky like that with this MB?

A: The MPG Z690 Force WiFi has no CPU limitations in regards to M.2 storage devices.

Q: What is the preferred size and speed of the Ram if you use two stick compared to four with this motherboard?

A: I just started with 32gig@6400mhz/spd. Gskill. Not one issue with it. Runs XMP perfectly.

Q: Does this support Nvidia-SLI or AMD Crossfire?

A: Yes

Q: Does this have a ufs 3.1?

A: undefined

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Beautiful motherboard!!!!
I went from a Z690 pro-A to the Z690 force and I love the difference! Both are great boards, but its worth it to spend the extra money to get the extra features. I went with a white build with some black sprinkled in so this motherboard was the perfect choice. Four M.2 slots is just right for the amount of storage! Plenty of USB slots to plug in everything you need. The only con is that there are only two internal usb slots, so if you plan to use more than one brand's controller you will need an adapter. That's only a small issue though. I would recommend this motherboard to anyone!!

Great board for me.
Had a 790 msi and it wouldn't load drivers correctly. Went with this msi board and it works great. Had to flash the bios so that the 13900k would be recognized. Flash bios button was a lifesaver.

MSI has come a long way with Z690
MSI is proving itself to be a great board on the Z690 front. coming form strictly ASUS and ASROCK motherboards for the last few gens. THIS board is GREAT with 5 M.2, 4 of which are PCIEx4 gen 4 slots.. 6 sata, that if you use 5 M.2s you can STILL use 5 SATAs. outstanding ! been a solid performer and the BIOS is easy to setup and get going right away!
