ASUS Prime Z690-A LGA 1700(Intel 12th) ATX Motherboard (16+1 DrMOS,PCIe 5.0,DDR5,4X M.2, Intel 2.5 Gb LAN,USB 3.2 Gen 2 Front Panel Type-C,Thunderbolt™ 4,Aura Sync RGB Lighting)

ASUS outdid themselves with this sci-fi all aluminum design of the Prime Z690-A motherboard. This is actually my very first build as before I only used laptops and I wanted a Professional Workstation. This product is only made for DDR5 so please keep that in mind before buying. When you have a clear path to obtaining some DDR5 at MSRP (dont feed the scalpers/retailers that are scalping) dont pass up on this majestic board. Overall the features are more toned down compared to the gamer boards as this generation those have a Q-Release button from ASUS, but this wins in looks, build quality, and pricing as it only costs $299.99 or less. I highly recommend this for creators or people who just want something other than the traditional gamer designs, but again be mindful of having a clear path to obtaining DDR5 Memory.

I put the whole rig together and it wouldnt boot just kept power cycling. After several minutes of troubleshooting I determined it couldnt detect RAM. I found next to the RAM slots a missing chip and splattered solder.

Has your Z690 functions and multiple fan headers for those who have a handful of fans and no fan hub and has been kicking strong since purchase. The Lighting is subtle but really gets blocked off my the rear fan which may just be due to my PC case.

Salió defectuosa, solo agarraba una memoria ram y cuando le agregaba mas a veces daba video, pero se trababa. La cambié por una gigabyte y todo excelente desde el priner momento.

This board did not post, even after following every possible troubleshooting guide it never worked. Total waste of money.

BIOS issues all day. Couldnt upgrade past 0707

Good motherboard with good VRM cooling. Only thing is I wish they could have squeezed another USB 3.0 slot in there- but otherwise I am very pleased with this Mobo

I love the product but I have a major issue with it constantly freezes up I have to hold power button in order to get it to power off youd think its from over usage but this occurred on my 2nd day with product by the way this is the 2nd one had to return the first it was used and gave me some issues so I purchased a brand new one hoping to avoid problems but Im still face problems with an item Ive only had for less then 3 months I didnt wanna be a complaining nanny so I just decided to keep it instead of having to file for another return I dont use the item with any type of cooling I run it in open case like a tester does so there should be no need for after market cooling the product comes with its own cooling capabilities and I have 16gb RTX 3070 and i3 12100 with stock fan nothing to fancy by the way youd assume this happens during extreme gaming nope it happens during YouTube videos and even just plan regular browsing with on one tab I use Edge Browser Windows 11 simple setup all new drivers and updates.

Much better than the z690-p. Works well and comes with a few features you see on a high end board, including OCing.

Super motherboard, beautiful and quality, hope it will be long lasting, I like it))!!!
