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.

    Great motherboard. Everything worked right out of the box. The bios is very easy to navigate. This paired well with my intel i7-12700k. As a casual user, this board suited my needs perfectly.

    This is my first MSI mobo, and so far so good. It came with the wake-up from sleep by usb device disabled so that pressing buttons on my keyboard or moving the mouse didnt wake it up. Not a big deal, just had to dig thru bios settings to turn it on. Otherwise pretty solid for what i need it for

    Works great so far. No issues. Just make sure you read the box regarding the correct memory required. Had DDR4 memory and bought the wrong model. This DDR4 model was the right one.

    I made the mistake of not seeing if this had Wi-Fi or not. You need either a cd tray for the drivers or you can download the drivers from another pc, transfer them to a usb then run the software on those files with this motherboard. This only works for LAN. Was a hassle to do but other than that a good motherboard.
