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)

If your looking for something that doesnt send signals why you are using Lan this is where its at.

so i just did a custom build back when the 12th gen items released. and Ive pushed the limits and tested multiple products over the last month. Basically running the I9-12900K, Corsair 5200 DDR5 RAM, 6900XT GPU, 2 TB SSD Ect.

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.

the first board i got in had a bad USB 3.2 gen 1 controller causing 4 USB ports not to work, i exchanged it for a replacement that is working flawlessly as of 12/24/21. i have updated the BIOS on the replacement so the ports dont go bad. this is why i gave it 4 stars. other than that, it is a good board

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 Still shipping with outdated bios in Feb 2023.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

ME GUSTA POR TODA LA NUEVA TECNOLOGÍA QUE TRAE, PERO A LA VES NO ME GUSTA PORQUE SI ES DE NUEVA GENERACIÓN QUE APENAS SALIO EN OCTUBRE 2021, NO PUEDAS ELEGIR EN ESTA TARJETA USAR MEMORIAS RAM DDR 4 O DDR 5, NECESARIAMENTE TIENE QUE SER DDR 5. ENTONCES; PARA QUÉ EL PROCESADOR INTEL ALDER LAKE SOPORTA DDR4 Y DDR5 SI NECESARIAMENTE DEBES USAR UNA U OTRA PLACA NO LA MISMA, DEBERÍAN DE HABER DEJADO LA RANURA DE LAS NUEVAS MEMORIAS EN EL MISMO LUGAR QUE LAS DDR4 Y HACERLAS COMPATIBLES CON AMBAS GENERACIONES, OTRA COSA, TAMPOCO PUEDES USAR SSD M.2 GEN. 5 EN LOS SOCKET DE LA MOTHER PORQUE NO HAY AUN NINGUNA PARA ESE FIN, NECESARIAMENTE TENDRÉ QUE COMPRAR UN ADAPTADOR PARA PCI, Y SI USO UNA TARJETA DE GRÁFICOS, ENTONCES DONDE CONECTO ESE ADAPTADOR PARA SSD M.2 O DONDE CONECTO LA GPU?

works as advertised. fast enough for my needs.

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.

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.

Es muy buena motherboard, las características que ofrece y conectividad no las ofrece fácilmente otra motherboard de algún otro fabricante en esta misma gama y por el precio realmente vale la pena,
