Editor’s take:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been out of the hardware scene for far too long, but I\u2019m not sure any time away could prepare me for a motherboard that costs nearly $2,100. One could easily construct or buy a very competent PC with this budget, but hey, at least the option exists, eh? <\/p>\n

MSI announced<\/a> its flagship MEG Z690 Godlike in December 2021 but is just now getting around to launching it<\/a>. The EATX board is based on the Intel Z690 chipset, and features four DIMM slots that can accommodate up to 128GB of DDR5 memory.<\/p>\n

You also get three PCIe x16 slots, six M.2 slots and six SATA III ports, an integrated Wi-Fi 6E module, two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 connectors and a host of other USB ports. There are also dual LAN controllers, heatsinks galore and a removable touchscreen IPS LCD panel.<\/p>\n

Dubbed the M-Vision Dashboard, the 3.5-inch panel plugs into the rear of the motherboard and displays system diagnostics like hardware monitoring and debug codes, plus provides one-touch access to Windows functions and more.<\/p>\n
