Whilst the Z690 Carbon WIFI sits in the middle of the Z690 board price range, the box is no flimsy cardboard affair. The motherboard is nicely presented in a box with textured plastic veneer that suggests that you’ve made a wise choice and that it holds something very special inside.
Opening it up, the anti-static wrapped motherboard is straddled by a small box containing the Wi-Fi antenna. Under the board we have the manual, a quick installation guide, and a registration card. There are also the usual SATA cables, a couple of EZ M.2 fixings, and some RGB cables including one that integrates the board with Corsair’s LED lighting.

Although we started working with the DDR5 version ourselves, it appears that it is hardly for sale in the Netherlands, while the DDR4 variant is readily available, normally for just under 200 euros. Exactly the same board in every way, but with DDR4 memory support which just makes more sense at the moment. Now 200 euros still seems like quite a lot of money for a motherboard if you haven’t built a new PC for a while, but in 2022 that is about the starting point for a decent middle-class board.

Aesthetically, the MSI MPG Z690 Carbon Wi-Fi is nothing special. The motherboard is attractive, with a dark color scheme and a dragon outline etched into the rear I/O cover, but this has been MSI’s go-to design for years. At a glance, you’d be hard pressed to tell the MPG Z690 Carbon apart from many previous MSI platforms.

The MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WiFi uses a striking and colorful rigid cardboard box showing information and images of the board as usual for the brand. In this case, the size is standard as there is no RL block, with the plate arranged on a cardboard mold, and in turn inside an insulating plastic bag. Under it will come all the accessories.

The MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WIFI motherboard can be called ideal without a twinge of conscience, since it gave us extremely positive emotions during testing / overclocking. The device offers the owner an enviable functionality, a powerful power subsystem, a reliable element base and room for experimentation (a perfectly “readable” UEFI BIOS additionally contributes to this).

The board continues the theme introduced by its Z590 Carbon predecessor. It reminds us of an ’80s spectrum analyzer, though we’re happy to see it’s been toned down to something much less garish this time around. It’s certainly a busy look, but not overwhelming. There are splashes of RGB consisting of the Carbon logo next to the SATA ports, plus a few spots in the central heatsink area (though they’re likely to be obscured by a GPU). Finally, MSI’s longtime dragon mascot is proudly lit up above the I/O area which also features a carbon fiber look, as the name of the board would suggest.

There is support for up to 6666 MHz which is astounding. Most boards do not reach this value, and while you may want to keep costs down by opting for a slower kit, the capabilities are there. Unlike other Z690 motherboards, CARBON WIFI also touts a whopping 5x PCI Express M.2 slots. 4x are PCI Express Gen4, while just one is PCI Express Gen3. On offer are two PCI Express 5 X16 slots – again, paving the way for possibilities later on down the track when this technology is fully adopted.
