Following ASUS and Gigabyte, the list of motherboards based on the Intel LGA1700 socket and the Z690 chipset was declassified by Micro-Star International. The source of the leak was again online database The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), where more than two dozen upcoming MSI boards are mentioned. We talked about the capabilities of the Intel Z690 chipset in a separate article.
The lineup of MSI LGA1700 / Z690 boards is represented by solutions from the MEG, MPG, MAG and Pro lines. Among them there are products with support for both DDR5 and DDR4 RAM. Note that there was no room for the latter in the MEG series, so those wishing to purchase a top-end MSI LGA1700 motherboard will also have to fork out for a new set of RAM.
