Outdated Product
MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI is a modern and well-balanced motherboard of standard ATX size. It is part of the MSI PRO profile line, which for the most part was created with an eye on office PCs, trading terminals, and workstations for audio and video processing. And the emphasis in its production is on the quality, durability and reliability of the components. At the same time, the board is based on the flagship Intel Z690 system logic, which is usually used in overclocking models, and is friendly with reactive RAM. DDR5-6400 and is capable of curbing the reactive speed of M.2 drives supporting the PCIe 4.0 interface. In total, the board has four ports for RAM, four M.2 connectors (2xSATA/PCIe 4x, 2xPCI-E 4x) and six SATA3 connectors for connecting classic HDD and SSD drives. In addition, the boar...d supports the connection of liquid cooling systems, is equipped with reinforced slots for video cards (note: PCIe 5.0 interface) and knows a couple of technical tricks for overclocking and optimizing components (XMP, Core Boost, etc.). At the same time, its advanced 16-phase power subsystem will withstand manual overclocking of a conventional Core i7, and an extended PWM heatsink with a thermal pad of 7 W/mK will ensure full operation of even very hot 20-core processors. The manufacturer claims support for all Core i3/i5/i7/i9 models from the Intel Alder Lake, Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh product families. As with most of its MSI PRO series brethren, the MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI was manufactured using durable heat-resistant capacitors, compacted PCB and energy-efficient power switches, and the M.2 ports for SSD drives were covered with additional radiators to prevent overheating of the control controller. Also among the advantages of the board we should note a fast 2.5-Gigabit network controller and a built-in wireless receiver with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Overall, MSI has created a technically advanced, yet reliable and not too expensive motherboard, which will be an equally successful choice for gaming PCs and a variety of workstations.

How to choose a motherboard?Motherboard is the main part of any computer. Here's how to choose the right one for work, play and entertainment
great model, love it
28 January 2022 
I took it and put an i5 12600k in it, it fits Cooler Be quiet Shadow Rock 3 And Viper RAM two 8 4400 megahertz everything became normal, works on xmp) when installing the cooler you need to sharpen the collective farm a little with natfil Fasteners, I didn’t sharpen them and tightened them tighter All ! The processor temperature does not rise above 57 degrees
Quality
When installing Windows there is no Internet, you need to download the Intel network controller driver
use MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 few months
I really regret that I bought it. But it was the cheapest, and with no fish...

If options for 1700 appear cheaper than this offer, feel free to take them.
I honestly thought for a long time what to write here, my old board from 5 years ago had the same overclocking functionality as this one, only it cost 6k, and this is overpriced game, it costs 10 rubles, and only if it has wifi
By default, the overclocking mode is enabled; the system will start the second time, which may scare off many newbies. I will repeat that the firmware is very crude. All support is in English. RAM up to 3600 is not working
Coffin Dancersuse MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 less than month
