Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard's strong performance and overclocking capabilities, along with its competitive price and user-friendly design. Many appreciate its ease of setup and the inclusion of multiple M.2 slots. However, some users point out the lack of integrated Wi-Fi and find the included instructions inadequate. A small number also reported issues with XMP profiles and the ethernet port.

    Started getting numerous BSOD, thought it was win11, bumped back down to win10, no luck. Turns out xmp unstable on this mobo (ram was really expensive, super low and consistent timings, worked just fine on multiple Zen 2-3 setups and an i9 9900k build). Spent several hours trying to update bios, followed manual no luck. Tried MSI again after 7yrs turns out they still suck.

    No wifi or bluetooth on this mobo and the bluetooth adapters Bestbuy sells dont work woth it either. Also, you absokutely need usb tethering or an additional mobo with wifi to install the latest drivers. It doesnt event come with ethernet drivers installed so it wont connect to the internet out the box even with an ethernet cable. You need usb tethering for initial setup.

    Really nice motherboard. Nice and simple with a LED Debug in the top left. Also compatible with DDR4 meaning easy upgrade if you're coming from the older Z models. Comes with a NvMe cooler.

    I've tried every suggestion under the sun to no avail. From the NUMEROUS complaints online, it seems that the 2.5 intel hardware and drivers for the ethernet is garbage and they just haven't fixed it. The workaround involves a separate wifi or lan adapter. Which makes buying this mobo completely pointless. Going to try to return if I can
