MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X INTEL 12TH GEN LGA 1700 MOTHERBOARD WITH CUSTOM COOLING BLOCK BY EK

Take advantage of custom water-cooling loops with the MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard from MSI. Designed in partnership with EK, this motherboard uses a specialized thermal block that is focused on providing enhanced cooling capabilities for advanced builders without compromising overall system performance. Built on the Z590 chipset while utilizing the LGA 1700 socket, this motherboard allows users to leverage the power of Intel 12th Gen processors.

LGA 1700 Socket

Utilizing the LGA 1700 socket and Z690 chipset, MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X motherboard is compatible with 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors.

Hardware Design
Performance Solutions

The MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X offers powerful performance thanks to a VRM design built with a total of direct 18+1+1 power phases. The two 8-pin CPU power connectors feature MSI’s exclusive Core Boost technology enabling processor overclocking while keeping electrical loads down. Load-line calibration and overvoltage protection stabilizes the CPU’s voltage and protects critical components from short-circuiting while under heavy operational loads. A fully digital power design allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the CPU at pin-point precision, creating the ideal environment for overclocking.

EK Water Cooling

A custom-designed EK cooling solution that offers pristine cooling for both the CPU, VRM, and primary M.2 section is used to prevent thermal throttling, allowing gamers to sustain heavy gaming loads without the noisy environment.

Thermal Solutions

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X provides multiple thermal solutions to keep your motherboard and components cool as you game. This motherboard is optimized for water cooling and includes a dedicated water pump header that supports up to 3 amps, giving you full control of the water pump speed. Additionally, the M.2 Shield FROZR is a specialized heatsink designed for M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drives, preventing damage caused by overheating.

Performance Design
DDR5 Memory

Multitask and render high-resolution videos with MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X DDR5 memory architecture able to support up to 6600 MHz DIMMs and XMP 3.0, unlocking the full potential of your memory and enhancing system performance. The SMT slot reduces the defect rate of slot solder joints and lessens the effect of electromagnetism and interference.

Lightning Gen 5 PCIe

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X ‘s Lightning Gen 5 PCIe x16 slots support a bandwidth of 128GB/s, which is double the speed of the previous generation.

Connectivity Solutions
USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 20G
