MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY Motherboard Review

Packaging & Accessories

The box for the Unify is really nice, with a stylish image of the motherboard that gives you a glimpse of the VRM configuration, which looks pretty hardcore!

There’s a lot more detail around the back, with a full-board photo, and you can see some of the rear shield design too. I like that they’ve detailed all of the connectivity clearly too, such as the quintuple M.2 mounts, networking, and a full diagram of the rear I/O configuration.

There’s quite a lot of paperwork in the box, but it’s mostly informative or promotional stuff. Plus, you get those cool stickers that allow you to label your cables, which is a big advantage in some more complex system builds. There’s even a microfibre cloth included, which is nice.

Beyond that, you get all the usual screws and fittings, as well as a nice quality WiFi antenna, ensuring you can get the best out of the WiFi 6 hardware. There are some cool additions too, such as the keyboard brush, and custom screwdriver for the M.2 heatsinks.

Finally, you also get some nice quality SATA cables, as well as extensions for your RGB headers.
