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)

Wish there was better Linux support. But as with most products nowadays the Linux support is just not there yet.

I cant believe that I have to say this but read the specs for what you are going to buy BEFORE you buy it. How can someone give this motherboard a 1-star rating when it is being returned b/c DDR5 RAM is almost impossible to find? One more thing...this board is for the new LGA 1700 socket which makes it, Ready for 12th Gen Intel Core processors + Windows 11 + PCIe 5.0 support + DDR5 RAM ONLY. Dont forget this when you buy your CPU cooler regardless if you choose to go with AIO liquid or air.

Pros: supports windows 11, works with i9 13900K. Installed Noctua NH-D15 easy. I recommend attaching the back plate of the cooler first, installing the motherboard in the case second, connecting CPU power cables third, and only then installing the cooler. I recommend using PSU that support PCU power x2. For example, EVGA Supernova 750 P6 or similar. BIOS was updated automatically - intiated by Windows 11 as optional update.

The main M1 SSD didnt work. It didnt detect the SSD. I chose not to send the product to support knowing well how bad the support is. It worked in another slot though. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Missing a f panel pin but it’s all good I’m never gonna use it any ways but other than that absolutely awesome

This motherboard will not post with the 13th gen intel CPU. The only option is to use a 12th gen CPU to upgrade the bios so that it will function. Itll cost me another $100 to get this done locally.

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