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)

Absolutely terrible mobo don’t buy

I initially had issues with overclocking. I discovered if I enabled Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) to overclock the memory, I also have to enable serial presence detect (SPD). Prior to that discovery the MOBOmemory was unstable and the memory failed the Passmark Memtest After that fix, the system remained unstable, and I thought it was due to CPU overclocking however,the system still crashed with all overclocking turned off. Diags on the CPU say it was fine. It could have been a driver issues but event viewer points toward hardware as such I requested a replacement board. The replacement MOBO did not fix the issue. The issue was that I could not disable sleep mode, as the power setting keeps resetting, and the computer reboots rather than to go to sleep. Asus tech support was not much help, but Microsoft tech support zeroed in on the issue immediately. I had to disable CPU C-states on the MOBO. Im keeping the MOBO as I dont think the hardware is bad, but it definitely needs a new BIOS update on top of the one that just came out on March 10, 2022

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.

Plenty of M.2 slots, Pcie, Pump & Fan connections. Good hardware to support High end cpus. I benchmarked my computer with this Mobo and it ranked 99% in the world against other computers.

MB quickly assembled and worked well without issue but for trouble in getting a reasonable memory score with the new DDR5.

Ive been building my own computers for 15 years and this has been my worst purchase.

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.
