PROS:
- It comes with a 16gb (or close to it) usb drive which is large enough to put the windows installer on.
- looks nice
- wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.2
- sturdy antennes (they don't prevent me from plugging stuff into the other I/O ports)
- 16+1+1 phase power delivery
- includes some stickers for the motherboard, including 5 cmos battery stickers
- the layout of all the connectors was moslty easy to work with. I just wich some more fan headers were at the top right.
- BIOS is super easy to work with. it's easy to enable XMP and adjust fan curves.
- enough usb ports
CONS:
- ez m.2 screws were not super easy. When I tried to unscrew one, it actually took the post out of the motherboard, and because the screws are so tiny, I couldn't get it out of the post. Luckily, I just used another one from one of the other m.2 slots
- maybe i'm just stupid, but the preinstalled io shield has some padding, so you have to really push to align the motherboard standoffs. I spent an hour trying to figure that out and was afriad of snapping my motherboard, but just looking at the io shield alignment from the back of the case helped me figure out what needed to be moved.
- cost. It's 275-300 dollars for a midrange motherboard, which is crazy, but Z690 mothboards are way too expensive in general. I most this over cheaper motherboards because it looks so nice.
I am writing this review for MSI's SHOUT OUT reward program, but the review was honest.
