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)

La MB esta excelente, la uso desde agosto del año 2022 y va de maravilla el único detalle es que me venia con un pin muy doblado, se nota que se golpeo durante su empaque en la fabrica, afortunadamente no uso ese pin y lo pude reparar con mucho cuidado. Sin embargo creo que debería haber mas control con esas cosas.

Ive had this board running for several months now and its solid, typical of my experience with Asus products. Smooth installation and configuration, no problems to date at all.

I wanted to do quick upgrade but did not notice the DDR5 on the box. The cost of the RAM is not worth it!

The motherboard came DOA it would not post after completing all troubleshooting steps through ASUS they said I could RMA it just to state that it would take up too 10 business days plus shipping time. I think that is disgraceful and have switched to an MSI Board.

Its a budget board packed with enough features for the average gamer. Vrms stay pretty close to 50 degrees, saw them at 53 a time or two but nothing crazy. Plenty capable of driving rgb, currently running 4 cooler master rgb 120mm fans and a cooler master aio rgb on it no problem. Rtx 3070oc, with triple fans kind of sagged a little but nothing a support bracket didnt fix. There were two headers with broke orientation tabs (for fans) but not entirely sure if that was a manufacturer defect or slightly careless handling. Armour crate is easy enough to use and helps with fan settings and rgb, can relay information about the system. I think if your looking to get to ddr5 this isnt a terrible board to consider.

This does NOT work 13th Gen CPU (unless your BIOS is over ver. 2004), kind of a crapshoot, sure to get better over time. But if not, the only way to update it is to have a 12th gen cpu on hand to boot and do bios installs first.

I got the i9-13900 and the fast DDR5. I seriously considered getting the Z790, assuming it was much better. But, I read up on the performance, they are identical. The real difference is the Z690 needed a BIOS update to work with this new i9, otherwise the Z790 has one more USB port, maybe?

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

Sturdy and beautiful motherboard, the design is great too, but you must be gentle when installing it in the tower case, since it has some sharp edges that might hurt your hand.

I have this mobo with intel i7 12700k
