The new 12th generation Core processor is the first one to adopt INTEL 7 process technology and hybrid architecture. In order to completely liberate the potential performance of the 12th generation Core processor, MSI Z690 series motherboards fully support PCIe 5.0 solution, providing 128GB/s transmission bandwidth, and in response to the needs of multiple users, MSI Z690 series motherboards also simultaneously launch DDR 4 versions for players to choose from. MSI’s exclusive Memory Boost technology is optimized for memory performance, and the frequency performance can be improved by more than 30%. At the same time, both PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 slots on MSI motherboard adopt SMT welding process, which greatly improves the stability of high-speed transmission.
In addition, the improvement of the performance of the new Core processor needs to be matched with more powerful power supply phases to release performance. The motherboard of MSI Z690 esports series is equipped with at least 16 power systems designed by integrating Duet Rail and DrMOS, and is equipped with dual 8-pin CPU ports to provide stable and strong power supply. (*1) Of course, the newly upgraded power supply design also produces higher temperature simultaneously. MSI Z690 motherboard is also equipped with extended heat sink, 7W/mK heat pad and M.2 frost armor. MEG and MPG series motherboards are also equipped with heat pipes and double-sided M.2 heat dissipation design, providing excellent heat dissipation capacity. Adding a server-grade PCB with a thickness of 2oz copper not only contributes to higher transmission speed, but also greatly improves the stability.
In terms of network support and expansibility, 2.5 LAN has also become the standard equipment of MSI Z690 motherboard. At the same time, the DDR5 motherboard introduces Wi-Fi 6E wireless technology more comprehensively, and the storage device also adopts pre-Type-C to improve the convenience of players. At the same time, in order to meet the high-speed demand of multi-task generation, MSI Z690 motherboard is also equipped with at least 4 sets of M.2 slots, including 3 sets of M.2 Gen4 x4 slots, so that players can meet the real era of extremely fast storage equipment. （*2）
In addition to hardware support, there are also many enhancements in the software part; MSI Z690 motherboard is also suitable for TPM 2.0, which is necessary for Windows 11 operating system. At the same time, MSI Center has simultaneously added two single-key functions of system recovery and backup MSI storage device, providing a more secure use environment, and players can also monitor the storage status to prevent system crash or data loss. For RGB lovers, we have added the characteristics of MIXER lighting effect, which can combine three different effects to create a unique lighting display.
The flagship choice-—MEG series
MEG is a series that attracts the attention of heavy players. In order to ensure its strong high performance, it is specially equipped with a complete aluminum alloy backplane, which has been fully upgraded in terms of heat dissipation, memory slot support and PCB protection. At the same time, the Z690 MEG series is also equipped with 19 sets of 105A SPS VRM direct-out power supply phase number design, and up to 5 sets of M.2 slots, including up to 4 sets of M.2 Gen4 x4 and 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. Among them, MEG Z690 ACE Ares is equipped with luxury dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, dual 2.5G LAN and dual front Type-C 20G, and the mysterious black surface is also decorated with 24K gold, which is dazzling. （*3）
Trend Show–MPG Series
MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI Blade and MPG Z690 FORCE WIFI Force are very popular models in MPG series, and MPG Z690 FORCE WIFI Force is the first time in MPG series to be made of silver and white, which allows players to have more color matching methods. Extensively, it is also equipped with two groups of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and five groups of M.2 slots, including four groups of M.2 Gen4 x 4, and has 18 groups of VRM direct-out power supply phase number design with 75A SPS, and its stability is not compromised.
Winning the battlefield-MAG series
The MAG series fully demonstrates masculinity, and the MAG Z690 TORPEDO torpedo still adopts the Pacific blue color scheme which is popular among fans. MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI Tomahawk Missile and MAG Z690 TORPEDO Torpedo Torpedo are equipped with 70SPS intelligent power supply system of 16 Duet Rail, a set of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and three sets of M.2 Gen 4 x4, so that you can enjoy the game.
Intelligent platform–Pro series
PRO series is simple and restrained in appearance, focusing on expansibility and performance improvement design to meet the multi-task needs of creative workers and enterprises. PRO Z690-A and PRO Z690-A WIFI are equipped with a 14-phase Duet Rail intelligent power supply system and dual 8-pin CPU ports, which help to easily complete heavy tasks. At the same time, it is also equipped with a set of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and four sets of M.2, which can effectively improve the work efficiency of users.
