MSI MAG B660M Mortar WIFI DDR4 vs Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro

That does leave you a question, should you go with the DDR4 version of the board? I was given prices pretty much last minute that this board is going ...

in the end i went with a Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 and my old 64GB of Crucial 3600 @ 15-17-17-34-CR1 Latency is 47ns i set vccsa to 0.95v and its rock solid. I need to pickup a lotes lga1700 mount though as the one that comes with the elite mounts the cpu nowhere near as level as the lotes one that came with the master so it hits tjmax at just over 300w of synthetic load.

Pair this with the B660M Mortar Max Wifi (TBA August), overclock bclk, and enjoy 5.1GHz and 12600k performance for a fraction of the price.

Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 series and the default frequency was 4800 without overclocking. I have so far managed to overclock the memory to 5800 without issue using Gigabyte easytune application. You can also use bios to overclock pretty easily. 6200 frequency was crashing, 6000 might be the sweet spot

Now in fairness, that can be a finicky process. But hey, welcome to overclocking, am I right? The point is, you can do it, and if your use case involves a lot of rapid data shuffling to and from RAM, the gains can be quite substantial. What else? The design is top-notch for a B series board. A beefy VRM ensures plenty of clean power available on demand for your CPU, and the substantial heat sinks all over the board help to move the heat away from your precious components and allow your case fans to do what they're meant to do

Clean and white/silver that matches my case and build to a tee, and clean lines that just look beautiful. The LEDs are sparse, and clean. I'd maybe have liked more features to control them from Gigabyte's app, but honestly even though I would like that, they are generally just bars of light so its fine. The other thing is that while I didn't like the m

When you purchase this board, make sure you have the board wifi drivers and the I.O serial drivers ready to go as these are not plug in play. Without the I.O serial drives, some wonky things will transpire with sleep modes, even if you turn off sleep mode

Another thing that is killed off on this board just to squeeze in more USB is the HDMI port for integrated graphics. With integrated graphics becoming...

It is a great mobo, but I was unfortunate that this very specific board has a compatibility issue with the powercolor rx 6650 xt...not allowing it to work on the x8 pcie gen 4 and only on the x4 gen 4

Hi, I'm upgrading my PC for the Intel i7 12th gen. I was searching for a compatibile motherboard, and I've found the Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro, which seemed pretty good (I like the wifi and bluetooth support, the cooling stuff and the debug display) with the DDR4 memory support.
