Best overall
MSI MPG Z690 Carbon Wi-Fi
Staff pick
The best performance for your money, the MPG Carbon Wi-Fi is suitably impressive. Overclocking is simple in BIOS, so you can (carefully) push your CPU to its limits. It supports DDR5 RAM and Wi-Fi 6E, and includes two PCIe 5.0 slots and five M.2 sockets. Simply the best Intel Z690 motherboard.

Runner-up
