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)

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.

Was working until it didnt. One of the channels of ram decided to stop working around 2 months of use

Yes its a first gen product and ddr5 is the new hotness so I should have expected it, but this board is a total disaster and save yourself a week of stress and just dont buy it unless your ram is explicitly on the QVL.

I love the way this mobo looks in my white build! Havent had any issues after heavy use. The only downside I could dig up was the fact that it doesnt have onboard wifi or Bluetooth. You have to buy that separately. But that aside its amazing.

Unreal. Still shipping with outdated bios in Feb 2023. Ridiculous.

La placa no solamente es hermosa, también es de muy buena calidad, tengo memorias DDR5 trabajando a 6133mhz e i5 12600k a 5.0Ghz. Una lastima que no haya aRGB en la disipación del chipset.

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.

It works well for gaming, but it literally takes minutes to post! Thats on fast boot, but I feel like that doesnt apply. I know its doing some checks before fully booting, but when cooking something quickly can be done in the time it takes to post, ya done something wrong! It shouldnt be at 00s standards! Christ! Plus, it really hates intel rapid storage configuration. It disabled ALL of my hard drives and I nearly went insane! Definitely gonna stick with MSI in the future.

This will be a bit of a lengthy review. I received this board for a new PC build and got to work. The board looks very nice aesthetically. Unfortunately my board was defective, and it took me several hours to realize that the issue was with the motherboard. The issue I was having was that the mouse pointer would be stuck on the screen, rapidly shaking back and forth. These are the steps I took to narrow it down to a defective motherboard:

It has just about all the bells and whistles that the high end boards have except maybe a few NVME drives or in some cases maybe a few extra PCI-E 5.0 lanes. No issues so far, its basically on the bleeding edge of current tech for the masses with nvme 4.0, DDR5 and the latest high end Intel CPUs. Lots of customization in the bios, you have a plethora of choices to choose from if your in to tweaking and OCing.
