motherboard with like multiple sockets a million pci express lanes or is it some kind of exotic super amazing one-off or anything like that yeah have some like precious gems in there yeah like audio quest cables first anyway okay they don't have gems in them but they've got like so we're fully silver and it's like okay cool but it doesn't justify the price anyway another thing that may not justify the price the MSI z690 god like and uh this is probably the biggest box like you could fit like a 17-inch or maybe even like a 20-inch laptop in here this is honestly pretty ridiculous and there's not a whole lot on the box either like it's just the front side is pretty much the most that's on here the side just says and uh on the other side we just got oh we got some specs i don't need to like squint or like lean in or anything like that the font is just big enough it supports 12th gen core processors yep lga 1700 two pci express 5.0 x 16 slots one pci express 4.0 x 16 slot two Thunderbolt 4 type c ports input for mini displayport so you can actually get display out on these six set of six gigabit per second ports for a motherboard that says godlike i expect 69 if you want to be nice about it it's also got a quantia 10 gigabit nick built in that is pretty spicy and you've also got wi-fi 6e bluetooth 5.2 and 8 channel audio with audio boost 5 hd i'm not sure what that's all about oh yeah and this thing comes with memory and liquid cooling in the box yes what's your question god like we're going to find out let's see if i can open this without hitting the microphone oh oh it just cleared it yeah this is so unwieldy so this is just there to hold the motherboard in oh so this isn't i thought this was like just an outer box with other boxes inside but no this is all just packed in here that's interesting okay so let's just pointedly avoid the motherboard for now what do they give you in here what is this the keychain it's really long yeah it looks almost like something that you'd hang from your mirror oh yeah dog tag dude yeah it's it's like from my time in the dragon army all right so here's the memory kingston fury beast ddr5 mmsi meg z690 godlike are ready to reveal a new dimension of performance sure i wonder what this is for probably for the motherboard itself and there's a good reason for it you'll want to use it alright so what is i i don't know what i'm looking at oh no this is a sponsored video they're never gonna sponsor us again i i'm just i will destroy you all right let's get the motherboard out of here and then completely ignore it for now we're looking at the accessories pretty standard MSI shark fin wi-fi antenna it's got a pretty thick cable looks pretty it seems pretty nice i have no idea what's going on with these what are what is all of this what is this does this come with its own test bench is that what that is uh let's see join the MSI reward program oh that's pretty neat yeah these are little stickers to you know kind of label your wires that's actually a good idea we should do that for ltdstore.com this product was created with great passion and we hope you could enjoy it but you couldn't because there's only like 100 of these so uh-huh what this is what they call the diy stand set it's an easy way to build a test bench holy crap i'm gonna have to do this aren't i these aren't mentioned in that though what are these man motherboard accessories they're in the oh they're a nice little bag that keeps them nice and organized ah this is the cooler i think so we got bracket and screws the water block head the radiator it's um yeah that is that is sizable so much stuff radiator fans okay so you got the three fans in here these are heavy silent gale and of course we've got some uh nice stickers oh man there's just so much stuff it's exploding everywhere all right let's close it up let's get it out of there this thing is chonky 6.832 pounds oh it smells we should make a cologne which basically just smells like electronic like new electronics don't need to worry about esd on this guy except around here i guess everything from here over to here looks relatively normal the vrm cooler is very beefy with this kind of wavy pattern on the back i don't know if you can you can see yeah you can kind of see it there it's weird but i like it it's visually pleasing that's how it's so heavy it's just covered in metal and then we've got a rather sizable assortment of porch on the side here where do i begin there's a 10 gig Ethernet port here it's powered by a quantity chipset mini displayport in for your Thunderbolt plenty of usb 3. it's a 2.5 gig Ethernet of course we've got the whole 7.1 channel audio thing going it's weird that motherboards still have toast link isn't it it's got a party trick this thing comes off this is a little touch screen it does come with a little cable that you can plug in over here right here yeah this this one that says like what is it mvision which i'm not sure why they call it m vision so just kind of slots in like that you can use it inside the computer if that's your jam or on your test bench personally i don't think the motherboard looks all that good with it missing but it does say a little thing down there one board to rule them all godlike that is an RGB connector for Corsair you can use standard addressable RGB with MSI's mystic light or you can just straight up use corsairs you don't need to have their fancy commander it's great there's a lot of stuff that's covered with these peels should i we all need true there are three pci express slots in this motherboard situated such that you could sli triple slot cards so like rtx 3090s if you so chose this bottom slot i am i only see solder balls underneath the socket for i think 8x but that's still a lot more than you might expect out of this considering how many m.2 slots we have here there's so much tall stuff on this motherboard that it's actually kind of difficult for me to see in this light okay so yeah there's a m.2 slot there so here's another 110 millimeter underneath this here 80 millimeter it's all using bandwidth from the chipset they have i think a switch chip on here that makes it so that it's possible for this stuff to be split up the way it is these are opposing they're it's a frankly ridiculous amount of m.2 expansion this is this is basically the no compromise like i mean there's there's there's so much power delivery just just look at that usually when you have a lot of features in a motherboard like this this is always a compromise in this case you're giving up in your wallet and i mean obviously you're not gonna buy it and maybe it is stupid but i want it and it's together these stands are not as stable as i would like apparently they are more stable if you have a fan there but there are still six of them and there's only four holes in a fan so let's get to peel it oh yeah there we go oh it's it's a little bit it's a little bit shy there we go oh man there's fingerprints all over it already all right so it's got power now this little guy is separate from the motherboard we can plug it into one of the external ports as well this looks like it nope that's a DisplayPort there we go hey there we go i'm not sure why it sounds like a tiger but i mean i don't know what a dragon sounds like do you okay so what can i touch here so we got CPU clock plus or minus okay you can use it as a timer please download MSI center to enable functions okay cool got a calculator here is that about what that is why there we go okay so i'm getting a live readout of the BIOS up there in the top we're at 98 right now b4 graphics card error please check graphics card excuse me that's weird let's have a look through the BIOS here it's a pretty standard MSI click BIOS it does have the nice uh dragon in the middle though and this motherboard should be pretty good for overclocking like it's it's got a 20 phase power delivery for the CPU kind of bonkers these are beta functions like NVMe SSD self test and sr ilv support that doesn't sound right but sure let's just get into Windows and see what the software has to offer us Windows update oh it's like the whole advanced section is hidden behind that now i can like use this to bump up the CPU clock i guess okay that added 50 megahertz i don't know this is part of why living on the bleeding edge isn't always the best thing so there's gonna be a few hundred of these in the world and honestly i don't suggest that you buy one but MSI sponsored this video not to look at that specifically but to kind of contrast it against a more reasonable motherboard that they have here now i'm not going to do the full unboxing of this here but the mag z690 ace is much more reasonably priced at around well 600 dollars i think which is still a lot but you're getting a lot of the functionality the base functionality that's in this motherboard in this package and the box is significantly smaller too real gold leaf it still has pretty much identical i o so you're not really missing out on anything it's got the Thunderbolt ports the mini displayport inputs all the usbs the wi-fi it doesn't have the 10 gig lan but it does have the 2.5 gig and one fewer NVMe and there's no integrated RGB but it does have the pin outs for RGB if you do so desire one of our editors mark i think has the z590 version of this specifically because it has the Thunderbolt with the displayport yeah this is pretty much the same motherboard in terms of guts as this and you should buy this instead if you're thinking about buying this if you are still thinking about buying this then there's nothing i can say that will prevent you from buying this you know who you are everybody else look at this or one of MSI's other z690 or even b 660 motherboards well this is kind of weird i don't usually unbox motherboards um there's usually not much to say about them but there's plenty to say about the other things that we see here on short circuits so get subscribed so you don't miss any of our uh more esoteric things that we unbox i probably gotta shoot this this week aren't i quiet on set indeed god like"}
