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)

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

ASUS is my first choice in motherboards because of their great bios, features and reliability. For anyone with a 12th generation LGA 1700 Intel processor, the Z690-A is an excellent choice. It has good thermals, nice features including support for four m.2 drives, and an attractive design. However, if you own a 13th gen Intel processor, as do I, you might want to consider a different model or brand. The problem is that some Z690-A boards require a bios update for 13th gen processors. If you receive a Z690-A MB without the newer bios, it will not post if you have a 13th gen CPU installed. The amber error light on the MB will indicate a memory problem, but it is actually a bios/CPU issue. Bios updates are generally easy to accomplish, but because the Z690-A does not support flashback, the only way to get your system running is to insert a 12th gen CPU, load bios, upgrade to the new bios, then replace the 12th gen CPU with your 13th gen CPU. I subtracted two stars for the lack of bios flashback, which would have made the 13th gen CPU problem easy to fix.

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.

I have this mobo with intel i7 12700k

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

Thing finished my build nicely

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.

works as advertised. fast enough for my needs.

EDIT: With the bios update, it now supports 5600 mhz DDR5

I love building with Asus boards, so far, I have never had a bad experience with their products. In the 30 years that I have been dealing with them. This board has four M.2 slots, and I am already using two. PCIe 5.0 will be worth it for gaming. The Realtek onboard audio has a nice clear sound going through my Denon receiver, still not as good as good as my Creative Sound Blaster Z. If you have a 30 series graphic card, you will be able to enable resizable bar in the bios assuming that everything is compatible. With all the features this board has to offer $280.00 dollars on average is not a bad price.
