Intel Z690 ATX platform

The MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY-X is an Intel Z690 motherboard built for LGA 1700 processors. It supports 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs in a standard ATX layout. The board provides dual-channel DDR5 memory support up to 64 GB and PCIe 5.0 graphics slots.

Enthusiast DDR5 focus

This board suits builders who want high-frequency DDR5 on a Z690 chipset with 2.5 Gbps dual LAN and 7.1-channel audio. Users requiring larger memory capacity or a smaller Mini-ITX form factor should look at other models.

Dual-channel DDR5 6800 OC limit

The decisive specification is the validated memory ceiling of DDR5 6800 MHz in dual-channel mode with a 64 GB maximum. This defines the performance envelope for memory-sensitive workloads.

Questions about this item

What ATX case and power connectors does the MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY-X require to fit and mount?

It fits a standard ATX chassis and uses the LGA 1700 socket, 24-pin ATX power and CPU EPS power connectors for installation.

How do I install the CPU into the LGA 1700 socket without bending pins?

Lift the retention lever, align the processor notches with the socket keys, place it gently without force, then lower the lever to lock it.

Which replaceable part on the board keeps BIOS settings when the system is off?

The included CMOS battery maintains the real-time clock and firmware settings while the PC is unplugged.
