As it’s bundled with an MSI MEG CoreLiquid S360 liquid cooler (priced around $280 on Amazon) and two sets of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 16GB RAM (currently around $370 on Amazon), the board itself costs less than $2,099.Įven though this limited-edition motherboard comes bundled with expensive accessories, the $2,099 price tag means that many users can buy a whole gaming PC for the price of just this board, the cooler, and the RAM. It’s worth noting that the $2,099 price doesn’t cover just the motherboard. While it’s undoubtedly going to rule (or almost rule) every list of the best gaming motherboards, it will also be a heavy burden on the wallet because of its huge price tag. In its statement, the company refers to the motherboard as the “One Board to Rule Them All” in a fun Lord of the Rings reference. MSI issued a press release to announce the card and posted it on its website. Unsurprisingly, the MSI MEG Z690 Godlike also provides users with access to the latest and greatest, including the new PCIe 5.0, DDR5 memory, and Wi-Fi 6E, as well as 10G Super LAN. There’s also a lot to mention in terms of ports, including two Thunderbolt 4 slots, USB 4.0, USB 3.2, and Type-C. The board has dual 8-pin power connectors with Core Boost technology. MSI’s Godlike offers plenty of room to install some of the best SSDs, as it features six M.2 connectors that receive extra cooling from the motherboard itself.

It’s also peppered with cooling solutions, including a dual cross heat pipe, two heat sinks, and a wavy fin design that promotes heat dissipation. The motherboard itself has a sleek, clean, high-end design with fully customizable RGB lighting.
