Great Rundown, I find myself always learning something new about something that already has extensive coverage here.
Keep up the great content. Love it.
Great review! Nice to see good RAID support on this platform. Would love to see your take on the ASUS ProArt Z690 CREATOR WiFi
thanks for the review.. that board had a lot going on.. wow..
Hi Wendell,
Great video as always. What is the PCIe to U.2 carrier-board you are using to house the dual Optane P5800X drives?
Thanks.
hi mate,thanks for the info.can u elaborate on the 12900k igpu situation.so providing the vga detection setting in bios with this mobo is set to auto,i can use the 12900k's onboard gpu in adobe alongside my 3090 ? and also,if this is correct,does it need a software driver?i cant see any on the msi product page
I bought the ddr5 4800 from the QVL list for the carbon wifi but now I want the Unify for the sli. The piont is, the QVL memory list have now been erased/changed from anything above 4800 mhz. I don't know why but now I don't know if I can just switch boards because the new amended QVL list doesn't show my memory on the compatibility anymore. Maybe their trying to stop ddr5 scalping. I don't know.
Any chance of reviewing a Z690 with DDR4, like Asrock Z690 Extreme, would love to see your input on it.
woah that u key sounds very cool and useful, especially for private computers
Nice thorough coverage as always! I would still rather see 5 or 6 general purpose PCIe slots than more M.2 NVMe slots that can only be used for one thing. I personally can't find a use case for more than two NVMe slots and if I do I could just buy a PCIe to M.2 adapter( or add a 10Gbe or Mellanox card as you said). I suspect these M.2 NVMe slots are a manufacturing cheap-out. Anyway cant wait for Linux testing ;)
I always need three. Two for systemdisk in RAID 1 and one bigger fast data
@@llothar68 Great use-case!, the system disk gets pounded on and in theory more likely to fail, really painful if it does, and can use smaller disks.
@@jjdawg9918 I have software licenses that are far more expensive than the hardware. And many restrict the number of reinstalls and that might be required sometimes on restoring backups. So i just can't risk it. Also a missed day because of a failed drive can cost me a lot of money, especially if it happens and i break a deadline date.
SSD failures were quite frequently for me compared to all other failures.
I populated my apex with m.2, i play alot of games...
Does the YouKey interact with the operating system so that if you reset the BIOS nobody else can see your internet search history?
Please make a video of you reacting or giving your take to Linus tech tips's Linux video
Would love to see how well the IceGiant ProSiphon Elite would do trying to keep cool the Alder lake CPU's
Hmm that would be an interesting test, although I seem to recall that the thermal capacity for that cooler is lower then say an NHD-15, and if the new i9 can overwhelm and NHD-15 under a blender workload then I doubt the IceGaint would perform all that well. LTT actually breaks down where it falls short fairly well in their video czcams.com/video/U-BWEDfrE9c/video.html
Anyone else having issues flashing bios for 13gen? Thought I bricked my mb 10 times... but the 11th it finally flashed.
Will I be able to run ddr5 7600 mhz in two channels on it?
this motherboard overclocks like a dream come true, just swapped it for my edge, unify for life
Wish it would come with DDR4. Guess gonna still go for AM4.
Please review the nic iperf of the z690 vs x570s
I'm personally flabbergasted that MSI put out such a good board.
idk why, but whenever I hear Meg, I immediately think of sharks...perhaps Megladon..? idek

Are P-cores Priority Scheduling for your use . and E-cores for Windows 11 Microsoft Telemetry and reporting back on your habits ? a moving toward every thing goes to the cloud in the back ground .....
If you use a USB-c to hdmi cable can you use the igpu of a 12900k in the absence of a gpu with this mobo?
No
I remember days when you could buy entire new pc with dedicated graphics card for price of this motherboard, and it was good enough to play games at 1080p medium. Can we call it a progress?. No. New parts are faster but also more expensive and more power hungry (at least on Intel side). I would want to see comparsion of few generations of cpus @same power consumption.
GPUs used to not have heatsinks. Case fans have steadily gotten larger over time.
Overall every component is getting more power hungry
Yes prices are up, but this is high end line. You can have good budget builds below 500$
12:10 anyone can point me to this separate video?
No Thunderbolt 4? I'm sick of having to use add-in cards.
why no video out msi the GPU world is still full of pain right now 😭
This would definitely be the leader of small form factor sleeper builds.
All that DMI bandwidth and no $%#$%# PCIe slots. Gah. I shouldn't have to convert NVMe slots to PCIe x4 with an adapter and then use a riser kludge to add a capture card or two (or Thunderbolt or a 10Gbe NIC). Can these motherboard makers just put in the x4 slots? One can always convert them to NVMe later!
Used to think that Intel was like Sisyphus trying to push the industry forward.
Now I just think they are the rock...
its a bad thing no video output :(

Z690 creator pleeaase?
idle iGPU would waste ram
A Tesla is a worthy chariot for Elon Musk. I will admire him holding onto his bumper wearing my best pair of roller skates.
Too bad you can't buy this motherboard!
I like your tech reviews but please show us the whole story.
Uh actually if you use the U-key the motherboard makes you drop your pants and checks that you're a man before letting you in.
