Reviews(114)
- VRMs are beefy and the heatsink is unobtrusive, unlike some other Asus boards with plastic covers on the VRM heatsinks.
- Two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots well away from the CPU and PCIe 5.0 card slots (getting better temps for NVMe SSDs than a previous board), and all of the M.2 slots have Q-Latch, no dealing with tiny screws!
- Not heavy with the onboard RGB, and it can be disabled in BIOS
- Built-in I/O shield
- Easy to navigate BIOS even in advanced mode. One-click XMP, and one-click automatic fan curve setup for entire system.
- A little light on the fan headers
- Never been a fan of Realtek onboard audio, but I guess it works okay
- As with seemingly all Asus boards, the default BIOS options are enabled to try to push MyASUS and Armoury Crate. This should be disabled.
- Lacking the new PCIe card slot release button from the upper-tier ROG boards
- BIOS setting profiles can only be saved/restored between versions with USB flash drives, even though the board can read BIOS update files from installed HDDs/SSDs. Why not allow profiles to be saved to those drives as well?
Great budget Z690 DDR4 board, all the power needed for 12th gen Intel without having to sacrifice any major functionality.
Running Windows 11, i7-12700k, 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz stable aside from network controller
This motherboard uses an Intel I225-V Networking Controller which has caused network outages, blue screens, and inability to shut down my desktop cleanly. It installed with firmware 1.0.2.4(had issues). Windows 11updated it to 1.0.2.6(had issues). Support website updated them to 1.0.2.14(same issues). I had to buy a $15 PCI Gigabit networking card and disable the onboard ethernet in the BIOS rather than either RMA or replace since it would waste a lot of time.
It works, hopefully the networking controller will be fixed via driver/firmware update but after research it seems it was doing this on older 11th/10th motherboards as well. Not sure why ASUS keeps using it
