Review MSI MEG Z690I Unify Review: ITX Dark Horse

[Admin]

The MSI Z690I Unify includes three M.2 sockets and four SATA ports, a current-gen flagship audio codec, Thunderbolt 4, Intel-based 2.5 GbE and Wi-Fi 6E. At $399.99, it’s expensive but arguably the most well-rounded Z690 Mini-ITX option.

3 M2 sockets on a mini ITX? How does that thing not deep fry itself on the first use?

I feel 2 M2 SSD being cooled by a single heatsink is possible. The only problem is the one at the rear due to the lack of airflow. In my previous PC setup, the SSD can run quite hot, especially if you do not install a heatsink on it.

The review list 128GB max RAM in the specifications, while MSI gives 96GB max. Is it possible to use this board with 2x 64GB modules?

There's also a fourth M.2 slot listed … 😳
