Would you pay this much for a motherboard?

[@alchemist6395]

If I had infinite pots of money, I would

[@eTeknix]

@@alchemist6395 What would you pair with it though?

[@alchemist6395]

@@eTeknix honestly, £1500 at the most

[@nashsanadiki3104]

I’d pair a 24gb 3090 graphics card

[@spektrumB]

This motherboard is perfect to partner a Celeron G6900 and Nvidia GT710.

[@eTeknix]

Haha. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.

[@juanme555]

That is the real godlike setup.

[@Tafaiso]

What!!!!!!

[@tradcatpat2385]

Have fun living the good life, mate. Oh, by the way, when you get a chance, please do another outside snow build like you did last winter. That was fun to watch! Love the channel, thanks for all the hard work.

[@videogamephenomhd]

For a smashing $2,099, this thing is barely worth customizing for corporate businesses.

[@flatikk]

I can remember myself buying this, adding 6 M.2 4 TB drives, an RTX 3090, a top-of-the-line i9, a custom cooling loop, but there was some constant buzzing sound, whenever I went, were it MicroCenter or my 10-bed penthouse

[@CorruptSapphire]

Go full balls to the wall. 3090ti when it drops. Watercooling I say black chrome fittings to match the mirror on the board.

[@bradbonarddelacruz2238]

it's amazing when you said "it's pretty godlike", the bubble wrap coincidentally blocked the "Z690" and only show the word 'Godlike'

[@jeffsram04]

Like the video and seeing the new product unboxing and review of specifications and capabilities. The motherboard is the top of the line and only the well-off can afford it but then it is restricted even more if it is only available to those who already have a Godlike Motherboard. OH well, will continue to live with my Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master......

[@windrincar]

That big chunk of box on the right side make those memory slots look so close to the CPU socket to a point that it is uncomfortable to look at

[@davidjgyongyosi]

I think you should go with a full msi system, the new prospect 700 case series should go well with this motherboard.

[@rizlah01]

that board looks awesome, hopefully they come out with something similar for the new AMD boards

[@eTeknix]

They have an X570 Godlike so can't see why they wouldn't do a new version for the next chipset :)

[@rizlah01]

@@eTeknix yeah lets just hope they make it as feature packed as this one you show here

[@RichEarll]

This commands a flagship everything approach. Best of everything. GO GO GO

[@eTeknix]

I agree. Glass tubing is a must I think.

[@neeteshsharma6938]

Hi, could you also do the review for MSI Z690 Ace? For some reasons, I do not see anyone doing a review for it. Is it due to lack of availability or nobody ever wants to do a review for MSI Z690 Ace?

[@moze_]

I was waiting for this review!!!!!!!!!1

[@Deviantsoundz]

This should of come with an ek cpu water block or their mono blocks that touch the vrms.

[@rajkumar.rajendiran1]

@eTeknix, Does the M2_3 slot supports PCIe 5.0x4??? as the spec says...

[@BCBe4tS]

the msi z590 godlike went on sale in Portugal and i bought it new for 270€, so i think the last gen was worth it for me

[@sm00419]

I honestly can't see a reasonable use case for this outside of showing other hardware geeks how big your.....wallet is. If you aren't chucking in a 12900k and a 3090 in here in the first place buy a cheaper board.

[@luifran6824]

Does it have a good performance in gaming?

[@groto27]

What happens to the In-Win 928 part 2 build from 2 years ago? lol

[@connor2155]

3090ti when it drops, custom loop it

[@Not_SatoruGojo]

the scariest part is that 690 chipset is outdated for high-end builds, ddr4 will be a bottleneck for 13900K

[@emmanuellemos]

Please, build a pc with this monster

[@eTeknix]

Planning too!

[@prettyboypauly4300]

the one i’ve bought doesn’t come with the aio and ram i’m so pissed

[@moze_]

5:12 the word your looking for is "compartmentalised"

[@reyashvishwa]

does it support Xeon processors?

You are THE most British looking person i've ever seen in my entire life lol.

[@eTeknix]

Yeah, X299 is a bit old now :(

[@noahneutral7557]

@@eTeknix I hope they update it soon. I have an x399 build and Intel is getting kicked with TRx40.

[@LawrenceTimme]

W3175x boards are cheaper than this

[@tovarvonbrandt7157]

Taking in consideration the price of ddr5 and the AIO. It costs "only" 1.5k. I would buy it if I wasn't happy with my 5950X aorus xtreme and was looking into moving to Intel. You can build a really clean system with this mobo. Only problem is that the MSI GPUs are ugly AF and that dragon logo looks pure shitte. At least the aorus and rog logo are easier to hide with some ghetto mods.

[@poorNOOB]

I found this board to be too darn big to make it looks good on majority of big mid-small full tower cases and will surely only fit within the most bulky super tower cases. I was once considered upgrading entire platform to this board because I have both z370 and z390 Godlike, the z390 one has been residing in a Lian-li O11 XL for years since the case came out and they're already being E-ATX board, but this thing is even wider for like 2 inches which will make it overhang from the mounting area into side fan placement and looks ugly.

[@LawrenceTimme]

It's not even XL ATX

[@ers-tj4to]

Sekira 500g with two 3090 trios.

[@RobHardyUK]

My waterforce z690 cost that, without ram and an aio

[@themeeksproject9785]

niiiiiice

[@loretozamoras4459]

For this mobo to be godlike it should be partnered by Pentium 4!

[@IceAge20017]

Motherboards are a big scam. A $100 and a $500 will do the same job, support the same cpu, same pci-e speed, same ram speed, ect. Buy the cheapest one that has the specs you want.

[@micobugija6284]

"3 of them right angle" no no.... "3 of them wrong angle" Never used them, and they are half price of the normal cables 2nd hand :|
