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.

    All in all, a good board with little to no issues. I had to do a BIOS flash to help with an intermittent RAM read error. I've been problem-free since.

    Horrible, I’ve never been so upset! I recently got my motherboard and it came in missing the cpu and oh yeah I forgot to mention it was broken in half! No point in getting it repaired so hopefully it will be replaced by best buy

    Very High quality MB at a great price. Running Viper DDR4 memory at 3600 without any problems. Only challenge is finding a proper CPU cooler for the LGA 1700 setup. I got a Noctua NH-D9L and the LGA 1700 adapter kit. It has been working perfectly without any issues so far.

    Board turns on and then just cycles on and off and never posts. The CPU debug light is on. I changed everything including getting a new CPU (12700K). Checked compatibility on everything (twice). Flashed the BIOS to latest version. No change. Tried to call MSI and the automatic answering hung up on me twice. Now have a support ticked entered and we'll see what happens.
