Perfect for my needs. I spent way too long reading and watching reviews on Z690 motherboards. Ended up going with this one because it had good bang for the buck. It's been running smoothly with no issues for 7 months now.
It should be noted that all pc components are way over-priced at the moment.

V good website. Support chat was uneven. Bios works OK. Tried overclocking RAM listed on website without success. System runs well and is stable. Download the manual and flash the most recent prebuild bios. Tons of m.2 slots.

Got the mobo a few days ago and so far so good. It looks nice, has basic troubleshooting features, has tons of usb ports, and tons of fan headers but for $230+ I feel like its missing a few features + the I/O shield didnt come preinstalled

So far so good. The interface clip was a mess. Didn’t line up and had metal prongs going into Ethernet port. Had to improvise. Relatively simple install. Gotta be able to think outside the box a bit. Durable piece. Can’t beat the WiFi card built in.

We recently built a gaming PC with this board, paired with an Intel Core-i5 12600K processor. Everything worked so far except with the following hiccups.
1. BIOS firmware was 2 months behind and the motherboard showed a red indicator saying there was something wrong with the processor. Updating to latest firmware fixed that.
2. The board has no indicators to show whether power is on. Most of the boards have some sort of indicator to tell you that power is on.
Apart from the above issues, we are happy with the board. MSI's management software makes it easy to update all drivers.

Nothing special. Had to manually install drivers

Works fine so far. Not too complicated. Had to manually update bios and install drivers for several things including the wireless connection drivers. I had to download the drivers for the Wi-Fi straight from an Intel website. I searched Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 drivers. Good luck!

This is a really good motherboard for the money, I’m not PC savvy so my research settled me with this one, installing a BIOS wifi driver though intel was easy
Only key issue is mounting a second SSD card in slot 2 was really loose ( I have a Samsung 970 EVO), it does not come with a heat shield either, and being right next to the graphics card it will tend to run somewhat hot.

Everything is good so far. Unfortunately my original motherboard didnt detect my cpu. The second one was fine. The interface on MSI boards is really weak and I had hoped they would change it to make it better. ASUS is still my favorite for UI but the sale price is really hard to beat

Had to return 2 of these boards due to booting and sleep issues. Went with an Asus board so not sure if that issue has been fixed
