Works great and fit my case as advertised. Wifi is fantastic.

I have not worked on a computer since 2012 and this motherboard was easy to install the layout was well thought out and the instructions are easy to follow and the board looks great. they also put in a thumb drive with drivers so you wont have to go looking.

One thing to look up is you need to update the BIOS, have windows 10 or 11 installed to a 16gb flash drive. and you will also need to download drivers for your internet and ethernet to work they are separate drivers.

MSI just makes an amazing product a major upgrade from my Z590, this board is made with high quality materials and feels premium in hand would highly recommend and if you haven't already I would recommend picking it up.

I'm loving this motherboard so much so far! It has all of the connectors i could possibly need and it fits in perfectly with my build because of the rainbow dragon and rainbow led on the board.

I like the rgb design on the mother board. This motherboard also support lots of fans, ssd slot, GPU slot, ram slot, and different sports as well. It is running amazingly well.

Many ports on the back for whatever I want to plug in. Great number of USB headers and connections. Sold feeling build, too. Had no trouble getting everything hooked up and running. Plus glowing dragon.

This is a great motherboard so far with a ton of features. The rgb logo looks so good and adds a vibe. One of my m.2 slots broke for no reason but I used the bottom slits and still got maxed out speeds.

This motherboard is amazing in looks, and feel. It has all the features you count want with BIOS flash and WIFI if you don't have ethernet. The heatsinks are great in design and not too bulky like some other motherboards. It looks excellent in a case with black accents and just feels right. It is expensive however but so worth it. I was having trouble with my computer when first building it with a cheaper motherboard and couldn't do anything because it didn't have that flash bios feature. Had to run out and purchase this one and it solved all my problems. Save up the money to get this motherboard. Its worth it.

It's a good board, if you can get it working. Very finnicky about booting with USB. Has to be in the "Bios Flash" slot, no where else. Even then, constant VGA boot-up errors. Make sure to turn off secure boot in Bios, if you can get it to pull up. Two different sets of supported RAM, still couldn't get it to use USB bootable device. A headache and a half. Can't recommend. My ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A could boot the USB, but wouldn't run RAM at XMP speeds no matter what. Clear CMOS button reinstates Secure Boot feature, just FYI. Can't cause bootup issues for drives. Always turn it off. These high end boards are problematic. Would suggest avoiding them if you can.

This motherboard is great! This motherboard has some weight to it, I was surprised. It is an amazing motherboard, pretty high end too. I would definitely get this motherboard.

Part provide necessary updates and was easy to install.

Keeps power consumption regulated and have great case fan dba co trols. Great build quality. Also alot of good OC features for cpu

Worth buying over the cheapest option. All drivers loads through windows. Nice build quality. Excellent IO and features for the price.

I originally purchased this motherboard from Amazon, and I had believed that Amazon sent me a defective board that wasn't even new; the box was not sealed on arrival, and the User Manual was missing. Not a big deal, User Manuals can be downloaded from MSI's website. Upon installation, the Ethernet and WiFi would not work. So I couldn't log into my Microsoft account when I installed Windows 10 with a product key I already had. Eventually I got Windows 10 booted up but I still couldn't connect to the internet. I also noticed that all I/O ports would disable within 5 minutes of booting up. This included all USB ports, so my mouse and keyboard would complete disable. Very frustrating. Thankfully the motherboard came with a USB drive that contained drivers and software. That helped fix the internet issue, but it wouldn't fix the randomly disabling I/O problem. On top of that, Mystic Light failed to recognize my motherboard (and therefore also the fans and RAM). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried Dragon Center and MSI Center, no luck at all. I tried flashing and updating the BIOS, neither of which solved any issues. I returner that board and purchased the same model from my local Best Buy. But upon installation, the exact same issues happened AGAIN. It was extremely frustrating. I contacted MSI support, they suggested potential fixes that i had already tried. Eventually I cleared the CMOS by removing the board's battery for 10 minutes and shorting the 2 pins with a screwdriver. Low and behold, that fixed all my problems! I've had no more issues with the I/O ports, and Mystic Light works as it should now. Nobody should be required to clear the CMOS on a brand new motherboard, they should be plug-and-play (apart from maybe a BIOS update and enabling XMP). Now that my board is up and running, it offers a lot for the price. It controls all the RGB very nicely (9 fans, RAM, GPU, and AIO cooler), 1-click XMP works as expected, and I'm sure I could overclock my 12600k with ease. Still though, I'm skeptical about purchasing MSI products in the future.

Works great, even after 5 months I haven't had one issue with it. That's more than I can say for every other motherboard I've ever had.

This is honestly the best z690 ddr4 board you can get. MSI has always been goot and this motherboard is as good as youd expect

Have always been a fan of MSI motherboards. In the last 10 years I have not any issues with their products and this motherboard continues to support that statement. From the box to the board, everything highlights the detail and durability that MSI has in mind. It comes with all the tools and supplies you need to get started. From screw drivers to all the screws you may need. I always use an ethernet cable with my builds but the Wi-Fi in this board can actually deliver the same speed I get from the cable, shocked!

Upgrading previous Asrock to this for my new I5-12600K. Updated bios prior to deployment without issue. Great board for DDR4

It works as it should. Used it for my sons build paired with an i5. Bios is nice. So far so good
