ASUS Prime Z690-A

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.

How do you give this board 1 star? Did you research DDR5? Did you not read the board specs? If you did do either, then its all on you, not the board. The board screams with performance. Before someone else gives a poor rating because they did not read or do their homework, pay attention to the PCI-E slots.

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:

Do not buy 5lthis board unless you want to pay 2000 dollars for ddr5 ram I will be returning mine

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.

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

In general, its a good mobo.

Funcionó de maravilla y las característica que tiene sobre pasan mis expectativas.
