PC HARDWARE | MSI Unveils Z690 Motherboards
Intel has more to offer this fall. On October 27th, at 8:00 a.m. PST, Intel unveiled the 12th Generation Core processors, while MSI unveiled the latest Z690 motherboards. MSI intends to provide nothing but excitement as a world-leading motherboard manufacturer. MSI is prepared to enter the new era by integrating new technology. Let us introduce “The Next Playground” to you.
The latest 12th Generation Core processors are the first to use Intel’s 7th Generation Process Technology and Hybrid Architecture. All MSI Z690 Series motherboards have been upgraded to match the performance of the 12th Gen Core processors. The latest PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 are the highlights of the new platform. The PCIe 5.0 solution, which enables 128GB/s of transfer bandwidth, is supported by all MSI Z690 motherboards. MSI offers Z690 DDR5 and DDR4 motherboards to suit a variety of requirements. MSI OC LAB tuning, which uses MSI’s unique Memory Boost technology, enhances memory frequency performance by over 30%. MSI uses the SMT method for both PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 to maintain high-speed transfer stability with the optimised layout.
The most recent core CPUs demand massive power phases. At least 16 DrMOS with Duet Rail Power System and dual 8-pin CPU connectors are included in the MSI Z690 Gaming Series motherboards, ensuring steady and powerful current delivery to the core processor. Furthermore, the MSI Z690 Series motherboards have a Server Grade PCB with 2oz thicker copper for faster data transfer. Temperatures in the improved power phases are usually greater. Heat dissipation, on the other hand, is not a concern for us. An Extended Heatsink, 7W/mK thermal pad, and M.2 Shield Frozr are included on our Z690 motherboards. Heat-pipe Design and double-side M.2 thermal on the MEG and MPG Series motherboards, which are popular among gamers all over the world, can drive maximum performance.
In terms of connection, our Z690 motherboards come with 2.5 LAN as standard. Furthermore, the DDR5 motherboards enable Wi-Fi 6E, the most recent network option. The MSI Z690 motherboards use front Type-C to support external devices for a better connectivity experience. All lineups have at least four onboard M.2 slots, including three M.2 Gen4 x4 slots, which give our users with high-speed storage.
This new hardware are fully supported for the current Windows 11 operating system, all MSI Z690 motherboards support TPM 2.0. MSI Center also offers new features. System Diagnosis restores and backs up your MSI storage devices in a single click, ensuring consistent system operation. Users can also check storage state to avoid system crashes or data loss. For RGB fans, we included MIXER, which can combine three different effects to create unique lighting effects.
MEG Series – The Supreme Playground
More intriguing elements can be found in our MEG Series. With a 105A SPS, the MEG Series has direct 19 VRM phases. They have an all-aluminum design to effectively disperse heat and maintain outstanding performance. Furthermore, the larger backplate aids in heat dissipation, memory slot support, and PCB protection. The MEG Series motherboards have up to 5 M.2 slots onboard, with a maximum of 4 M.2 slots. Hardcore users will like the two Gen4 x4 and two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots.
The MEG Z690 ACE is unquestionably the best option if you need two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, dual 2.5G LAN, and dual front Type-C 20G. You can pick from any of the golden ACEs. Rather of RGB lights, the MEG Z690 ACE’s mystery-black surface is adorned with 24K gold. It will be as dazzling as your game victories.
MPG Series – The Trendy Playground
For the new platform, the MPG Series has received significant enhancements. The MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI and MPG Z690 FORCE WIFI both have two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and five M.2 slots onboard, including four M.2 Gen4 x4 slots. Furthermore, the MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI has direct 16 VRM phases with 75A SPS, whereas both feature direct 18 VRM phases with 75A SPS. You will be satisfied regardless of your choice.
The MPG Z690 FORCE WIFI is likely to be the first in the MPG collection to capture your eye. For the first time, the MPG Z690 FORCE WIFI has a silver-white colour combination. The silver-white covers complement the black PCB, giving your PC a one-of-a-kind appearance.
MAG Series: The Triumphant Playground
The MAG’s signature arsenal pattern is sure to turn heads. Military structures were used as inspiration for the brand new design. The MAG Z690 TORPEDO maintains the pacific blue colour scheme, which is popular among our customers. The MAG Series is designed to be successful.
The MAG Series offers remarkable specifications in addition to its designs. The MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI and TORPEDO have been modified to include a 16 Duet Rail Power System with 70A SPS. You can play games to your heart’s content with 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and 3 M.2 Gen4 x4 slots.
PRO Series of The Brainy Playground
The PRO Series is likely to be popular with businesses and creators. The PRO Z690-A and PRO Z690-A WIFI will help you complete your work with their 14 Duet Rail Power System and twin 8-pin CPU connectors. The PRO Series also includes 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 port and 4 onboard M.2 slots, allowing you to operate more efficiently. For a more cohesive aesthetic, the linear design fits your workplace or studio in every manner conceivable.
