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.

    I replaced an aorus z690 elite with this due to memory issues with xmp. I tried 2 kits, ddr4 4000 cl18 and ddr4 3600 cl14 and it worked with xmp on both with no issuies. I wish it had more usb on back and better VRM cooling. This is a place holder until DDR 5 is more readily available.

    Operates as intended with Intel 12th Gen i5-12600k CPU. Ran into problems out of the box with the BIOS configuration but it was resolved after updating after gathering drives/bios updates from the manufactures website. Happy with the purchase overall. Glitches are expected when new on the market. This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program.

    If you plan on getting a higher end gpu like a 4070 this will limit your gpu since it’s ddr4 other then that it served me well.

    Good board, has everything you need. The four m2 slots is a nice touch. The first one I had died but the replacement seems to be running well. It was still really annoying to pull a new board out and replace it a second time though if I'm being honest

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I got this motherboard when it was on sale for 150 at Best buy during Cyber Monday. 3 things that I like most about this board. The first one it has six fan connections, secondly, it has connections for RGB lighting. And last but not least it has for m.2 connections and one of the connections has a heat sink

    Very pleased with this board, only gripe is the limited compatibility with memory speeds. Do your research on the speeds supported, it seems very finicky with speeds not listed. Paired it with a 13700k, BIOS flashback feature was handy but confusing. MSI has two pages for the DDR4 and DDR5 version. Make sure you google the board with DDR4 at the end for the proper software.
