MSI won 16 CES 2022 Innovation Honoree Awards

MSI announced that its products have won 16 CES 2022 Innovation Honoree Awards, including the MEG Z690 GODLIKE motherboard, which is the only product that has not yet been announced among all MSI award-winning products. MEG Z690 GODLIKE is the flagship model of MSI motherboards supporting the Alder Lake platform. It will have all the top motherboard technologies of MSI, but it missed the launch time of Intel’s 12th generation Core series processors.

If you look closely, you will find that the MEG Z690 GODLIKE motherboard appears in the middle of some of the award-winning products displayed by MSI. The shape is consistent with the previously leaked pictures. It can be vaguely seen that the surface of the motherboard is covered with a large area of ​​the heat sink in the M.2 slot and PCH area. There are a lot of RGB LED lights on the motherboard. There is also a 3.5-inch LCD screen next to the DDR5 memory slot, which displays the CPU model, frequency, voltage, and other parameters. It should also be able to customize settings through the control software. This is the first time there is such a large display on the motherboard.

Rumors say that the size of Z690 MEG GODLIKE is 305×310 mm, which is larger than ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme’s 305x277mm and Z690 AORUS Xtreme’s 305×285 mm, almost a square. It is equipped with at least a 22-phase power supply module, has four DDR5 memory slots, supports up to 128GB capacity, and the frequency can reach 6666 MHz or above, and the motherboard dual 8Pin external power supply interface is near the location of the memory. Z690 MEG GODLIKE also provides PCIe 5.0 x16, PCIe 5.0 x8, and PCIe 4.0 x8 expansion slots, there should be five M.2 slots (four PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x4).

MSI has not disclosed the time to market and price of the MEG Z690 GODLIKE motherboard, but it will certainly not be cheap.
