I bought the MAG Z690 Tomahawk Wifi DDR5 version.
I had the strangest issue with the shipping - this is Amazon's fault, not the manufacturer's - when it arrived it was clearly a return instead of new. The antistatic protective bag had been sliced open and it was missing the cardboard spacers that kept it from bouncing around in the box. It was missing a part or two and it had other parts bags cut open. I paid for new, not used, and I wasn't about to waste time trying it if it was shipped loose in the box. Thankfully the replacement arrived next day, and that one is working fine.
I only have one complaint about this motherboard. It is supposed to have the newest Realtek ALC4080 audio chip, but MSI doesn't seem to have the software to enable DTS or Dolby, so there's no 5.1 surround out of the box with SPDIF, which is very disappointing. I have an old surround card for my old build that I am able to use that works with this new motherboard, but one of the reasons I chose this board is because it claims to support surround. It does not. I installed the Windows driver from the MSI support page for this item, but once installed, there are no options or settings for more than 2-channels with the provided driver. Maybe ALC 4080 is just too new yet? I don't know.
Otherwise, it performs pretty well so far. All other features function well, and the design seems decent.
