Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 LGA 1700 ATX-emolevy

I have had Asus motherboards before but recently upgraded and built a PC with the Rog Strix Z690-A motherboard even though I'm not a gamer. However, I do a fair amount of other creative things eg videos and such like. I'm finding the extra speed a real boon and can only say it's a really good board which should supply all my needs.

No complaints, I panicked when installing it though. I set everything up and it wouldn't post... Turns out big brain me didn't plug the CPU power cable in. Not to mention the big red light I ignored for ages telling me it wasn't. Should've read the manual. Great board tho.

Very good Motherboard BUT...no cpu temp showing on display

A no hassle MB with plenty of features. Good options for OC and Thermal tuning

Looks so cool, works great, i love it, rgb is stunning has enough headers for argb and pwm, nice m.2 slots and pcie has a easy snap off button

Excellent ROG Strix motherboard. Very happy and pleased with the design and layout. Would have preferred back panel as standard as the solder joints are very sharp and can bite into your fingers. Overall design and layout are very well done. Love the heat sink covers around the CPU socket, the built in IO shield, PCIex release button and the simple m2 ssd turn nob to hold down to secure it instead of a screw. Another reason is it’s designed for the DDR4 ram. Brilliant and highly recommended

Very solid board with good features plenty of storage options and great IO, the bios is extensive but intuitive and the ai overclock actually gives some decent results for those who dont want to tinker too much on their own. if you do though the addition of a bios reset on the rear IO is a welcome addition. Looks are subjective but I think it's a good looking board with ample RGB if that's your thing.

Excellent Z690 motherboard that has pretty much everything needed for a 2.5GHz nic, Gen 5 PCIe, enough Gen 4 PCIe M.2 drives. Great on cooling with integrated heat syncs for the M.2 drives, as well as superb VRM cooling. My 12700K overclocks with a breeze to 5.3Ghz at a low vcore. Overall very happy as I used the cash back offer so get it at a good price. stacked with features, looks great and I have had no issues since launch so it has been running stable for a long time now.

This is a superb motherboard. Lots of overclocking ability and looks cool too. I have only just installed this but so far I haven't had any issues. Everything is laid out as you would expect with the added feature of have all the M2 internal SSD slots covered with their own silver metal heatsinks, the only issue I had with that is the SSD I ordered came with its own pre-installed heatsink which meant it was too thick to install under the mother board heatsink but that was my mistake.

It has a quick release button for the graphics card which makes removing it a whole lot easier than the other boards i have had especially if the cards are extra long.

It comes with plenty of cables and fixings and too. The added bonus of integrated Bluetooth and the option to add the WIFI antenna makes this a very good board.

It comes with a lighting effect called Aura (the IO backplate connector lights up on the board) which along with all the other RGB parts i have makes it look cool.

My only criticism was that it only has one USB 3 header (along with 2 x USB 2 headers) and most cases now come with 4 USB 3 ports on the front which meant that i had to purchase a separate card so i connect all 4 ports.

All in all i would recommend this as it has great features and so far has performed very well.

As a long time Asus motherboard customer, i find there products reliable and excellent quality.

This motherboard is no acception and is of the quality i am used to.

Recommended.
