  • ProcessorIntel Core 12th Gen (LGA 1700)
  • CPU socketLGA 1700
  • 19+2 phase power design delivers stable CPU current
  • DDR5 memory support enables higher bandwidth
  • Quintuple M.2 connectors provide abundant storage slots
  • Dual 2.5G LAN plus Wi-Fi 6E ensures fast networking
  • 8-layer PCB with thickened copper improves signal integrity

Socket and memory platform

This MSI MEG Z690 Unify board uses the LGA 1700 socket and supports Intel Core 12th Gen processors. The BIOS has been updated to support Intel 13th gen CPUs. It is built for DDR5 memory and uses an 8 layer PCB with 2oz thickened copper.

Enthusiast builders needing high-speed I/O

The board suits builders who want direct 19+2 phases power design, quintuple M.2 connectors and front and rear Lightning USB 20G. Dual 2.5G LAN and Wi-Fi 6E cover wired and wireless networking. Buyers who need legacy accessories beyond the I/O shield should look elsewhere as they are not guaranteed.

BIOS updated for Intel 13th gen CPUs

This single specification decides whether the board works with a newer processor out of the box. The board has been fully and individually tested and is known to be working properly. A dedicated LGA1700 mounting bracket is required for installation.
