Great Mobo
by Tiernan WilsonThe PRO z690-A is one of the most affordable options that MSI offer but I chose it as it has all the features that you would expect in a motherboard twice as expensive. 4 m.2 connectors, 6 layer PCB, 14+1+1 power phase design, PCI-E 5.0, USB Type C header, 2.5gb LAN and is known to be one of the best memory overclocking z690 boards.Installation was easy due to the helpful manual and easy to use BIOS.The only downsides are that it has a subpar audio codec (Realtek ALC897) and does not look as aesthetically pleasing as other z690 motherboards as it does not have an integrated IO shield and a full motherboard shield as seen in the z690 Tomahawk or the z690 gigabyte gaming X. Other than that this board is the best price to performance board you can buy for the z690 platform
