Deal Details
Looks like the lowest price for the MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi DDR4 motherboard, not to be confused with the NON-WIFI model that gets posted for about $150 ish.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GLC1SS4 [amazon.com]

Sold and shipped by Amazon.

Chipset/Socket - Intel Z690 / LGA 1700
Memory Support - DDR4 5200 MHz (OC)
PCIe x16 Slots - 1xPCIe5.0 x16, 2xPCIe3.0 x16
M.2 Slots - 3x M.2 Gen4, 1x M.2 Gen3
Wireless - Intel Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2
Ethernet LAN - Intel I225-V 2.5G LAN
Form Factor - ATX

Make sure to flash the latest BIOS before installing a 13th gen Intel CPU.

If you haven't used your Amazon $12 or $10 locker pickup promo, this would qualify.

Microcenter area folks can attempt to pricematch this in store because it's sold by Amazon AND use the $25 build coupon on it, but it's hard to justify right now with the $350 12700k+Asus Z690-Plus DDR4 TUF Gaming combo going on.

Would use this mobo myself but got a MSI Z690 Edge Wifi DDR4 for $209.99 previously.

GLHF!

edit: stock goes in and out. just keep watching it if it's not currently sold and shipped by amazon

Specs read very similar to the asus board in the MC deal.

Even the slots are the same (electrically). I guess these ddr4 z690 boards will be getting cheaper and cheaper.

I guess it doesn't really matter if you manage to get lucky and get the MC deal, but majority of Asus Z690 boards don't have bios flashback so you can't drop in a 13th gen like 13600K without getting a 12th gen in there to flash it first. At least this MSI board does have bios flashback so you can flash the bios to one that supports Raptor Lake without needing to borrow a chip.

Fair point. I've used the bios flashback in the past. Very convenient. Appears asus motherboards above the tuf include that, but not below.

The MC asus motherboard came with bios 1003, a VERY old bios. If someone buys that board in store with a 13th gen cpu, they'll be SOL as far as getting it to work without access to a 12th gen cpu. Good forward thinking on asus's part.

Still $173 vs $0. Hopefully the buyer does their research and/or the salesfolk are on top of things when recommending compatible products.

Have had this mobo since launch with a 12700k. Been rock solid and highly recommended.
