A:AnswerThis motherboard does not have a Wi-Fi adapter you will need one. This motherboard has a LAN port only. You can add a Wi-Fi adapter via a PCI adapter with antennas or an Integrated CNVi adapter.
A:AnswerSame thing happened to me on one of my old motherboards. Check the CPU chip and make sure it is inserted correctly or firmly. Also make sure no pins are bent on it. If so use jeweler's Tweezers to carefully straighten them. For me 2 pins were bent and I had to lightly press down on my CPU chip. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerIt depends on how you are going to install your operating system. If you only have the disc for the OS then yes, you will need the disc drive. But if you have it on a USB flash drive all you have to do is plug the USB in and the motherboard will detect that it has the OS on it and install from there. Drivers and everything else you'll need can be found online through the manufacturers website.
A:AnswerNo, PCIe 3.0. I wouldn’t worry about the need for 4.0 yet so not a big deal. If you have a graphics card that is 4.0, it will be compatible with 3.0 motherboards, so no worry there. Hope that helps
A:AnswerI'm not sure off the top of my head right this second. If you go to pcpartpicker.com you can enter in the parts you want and it will tell you if it is compatible or not. That's what I used to build mine.
A:AnswerYes the MSI Z390 uses the LGA 1151, which is what Intel i7-6700 is.
Look down the page on this site for "sockets supported":

A:AnswerIt will work with any SATA drive. I believe you can have up to 6 SATA drives installed. Though I would suggest getting a NVME m.2 SDD for your primary drive.
A:AnswerYes it is compatible, without the need for an adapter. If you do not have an NVMe already, I would recommend others as Samsung charges for their name and the given speed is not a significant enough jump to warrant the price. You can purchase NVMe drives at 1tb for just over $100. This mother board is great.
A:AnswerAt home they will charge you per hardware while in the store you can take you pc in pay $200 get total tech support which cover everything you gonna need about you pc for a whole year.
