MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 ATX Motherboard
PRO
series helps users work smarter by delivering an efficient and
productive experience. Featuring stable functionality and high-quality
assembly, PRO series motherboards provide not only optimized
professional workflows but also less troubleshooting and longevity.
THERMAL SOLUTION FOR MORE CORES AND HIGHER PERFORMANCE
With
more cores’ processors, thermal and power design is more important to
make sure the temperature keeps lower. MSI extended PWM heatsink with
7W/mK thermal pad ensures even high-end processors to run in full speed
with MSI motherboards.
M.2 SHIELD FROZR
World’s
fastest SSDs can start to lower performance when getting hot. Part of
the motherboards heatsink design, M.2 SHIELD FROZR is the next
generation M.2 thermal solution to avoid this by offering the best
thermal protection to make sure that SSD maintains maximum performance.
FROZR AI COOLING
Detecting
CPU & GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting fan duty of
system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE.
FULLY CONTROLLABLE IN BIOS AND SOFTWARE
MSI
motherboards let you manage speeds and temperatures for all your system
and CPU fans. Total Fan Control allows you check your primary system
characteristics in a simplified graphical interface. You can also set up
to 4 temperature targets for CPU and motherboard, which will adjust the
fan speeds automatically.
OPTIMIZED FOR WATER COOLING
Designed
to support the most popular All-In-One & customized water cooling
solutions on the market, a dedicated water pump PIN header gives you
full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked ‘keep-out-zone’
allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit.
HIGH-BANDWIDTH AND LOW-LATENCY NETWORK
2.5Gbps
LAN provides incredible data transfer speed faster than general Gigabit
LAN. This is a premium solution for demanding users.
OPTIMIZE NETWORK FOR LOWER LATENCY
MSI
LAN Manager automatically classifies and prioritizes the
latency-sensitive applications, giving you the best online experience
with low latency.
MSI LAN MANAGER
Allows you to change applications' traffic priority
Allows you to customize bandwidth for each application
14 + 1 +1 POWER DESIGN
Unleash and sustain maximum performance with an
aggressive VRM design built with a total of 14 digital CPU power phases.
Combining 2x 8-pin power connectors and exclusive Core Boost
technology, PRO series motherboard is ready to sustain heavy daily work.
A HUGE STEP OF DDR PERFORMANCE
MSI
OC LAB does not merely work hard on extreme overclocking. The XMP
memory profile has great improvement on performance and efficiency for
Z690 . Easy to enable XMP profile with auto power settings to get the
best memory speed and stability.
CORE BOOST
Core
Boost technology combines MSI's premium layout and optimized power
design which allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the
CPU at pin-point precision. Not only supporting multi-core CPU, also
creating the perfect conditions for your CPU overclocking.
