We have been talking about the MSI MEG Z690 GODLIKE for over 3 months now. After information about its unique bundle, as well as its price which is just as unique with $2000. Today is the big day, the day of its official launch.
MSI MEG Z690 GODLIKE the ultimate motherboard
We find a card with an aluminum heatsink with a triangular grid pattern. We can also see the MSI dragon and the mention “GODLIKE” behind a glass plate on the inputs / outputs of the motherboard with an RGB effect. On the power supply side, there will be 20 direct 105A phases for the CPU, requiring two 8-pin power connectors. To dissipate this power supply stage, we have the right to a double cross heat pipe heatsink, as well as a 7W/mK pad to make the transfer between the two. The board also benefits from an 8 layer PCB with 2 oz of copper A key feature of this motherboard is the M-Vision Dashboard. A 3.5 inch touchscreen LCD with a wide range of features. It allows you to substitute a debug board, a StreamDeck-like with macros or to set a custom display. The M-Vision Dashboard will initially be positioned above the RAM slots with a magnetic mount, but can be moved away from the board by connecting it with a USB cable to the back of the motherboard.
As far as connectivity is concerned, the board does not do anything by halves either, with six M.2 slots for SSDs. For the network, there are two RJ45 ports, one of 2.5 Gb/s and another of 10 Gb/s as well as Wi-Fi 6E. There are also two Thunderbolt 4s and USB 4.0. As for the availability of the motherboard, MSI announces a limited quantity with priority access or purchaser of a previous generation GODLIKE or a RXT 3080 or 3090 MSI. For the lucky ones who will be able to acquire a model, it will be delivered with a MEG CORELIQUID S360 as well as two 16 GB DDR5 KINGSTON FURY BEAST memory sticks.
MSI also announces that the card is designed to break overclocking records, so we’ll keep an eye on it to see how it performs.
