Hey, I'm thinking of buying this as my new mobo as it's white and seems to have some really good features but have gotten more and more unsure, would you say it's worth it, how ahs it been for you?

[@basharkhoury9403]

​@@hevz6339 it has been running for 2 weeks now, and the main reason that I bought this one is the color I have my build white and black and it fits perfectly. The performance in motherboards is negligible for me and not worth looking at it it I was more interested in the number of NVMe slots that I can fit in it specially with the news of direct storage coming to PCs, if you you would like wifi with it you can get the new version of this one that has wifi and Bluetooth. But the main thing to ask is do you really want the ddr5 ( for me I got them used for a good price ) as the price is really high compared to the performance.

[@brianhoward9217]

Hi Laurent, Thanks for the review, top class! I have a question for you: Why on God's green and blue earth are you so DOWN on SATA 3 ports being on MoBos?? I can understand how a few may not need the storage but what's the alternative? You have enough M2 slots now on these Z690s so no complaints for you there. But the cost of high capacity M2s is prohibitive still. Where are you going to store some terabytes of data on the family computer if they get rid of SATA? Video editors who create 4K & 8K files, family people with lots of photos and 4K vid files and many more uses and reasons that much storage is needed in everyday computing. What are these people to do if SATA goes away. SATA 7,200rpm drives are the absolute best value and for storage the case can be argued that the 5,400 low power versions are more than adequate. So, why so down on SATA mate? I, for one, would be lost without it. For my vid editing I have some tasty WD Gold 18TB and Ultrastar 14TB drives. They're reliable as the sun, cost only $45AUD per TB and are a solid mature technology solution. I have WD HDDs that are 12 years old and still in perfect health. What's not to like unless you rely on them as a rabid gamer, which most don't.

[@Laurentschoice]

You are correct on all the points . My real issue... what truly bugs me is not the SATA standard which is great. But the fact that it never got its long promised update (SATA IV). I simply don't get it. Either manufacturers updates the standard or they replace it. But keeping us on a 6gbs standard when we are dealing with PCIe 4 and 5 roll out... is beyond me.

[@brianhoward9217]

@@Laurentschoice Maybe now with NvME/M2 drives they don't see a need to put money into HDD tech to speed it up. Maybe the manufacturers see HDDs as 'storage only' and are content to use M2 drives for the boot drive to play games and drive the computers with reliable SAT just sitting there ready to kindly store any data. It IS odd though, why they don't create the SATA 4 and beyond - if you look at the current evolution in HDD tech there's some absolutely amazing cutting edge tech going on. Look at helium drives (yes, years old now but still) and look at the work Seagate is doing with multiple actuator arms and WD is doing with the Ultrastar and Gold 20TB drives - just stunning tech. Why they don't make the transfer rate faster than SATA 3 is also beyond me too.

[@marcelbraendli3862]

Be aware! This MB can be a nightmare! It has now been on the market for almost 1 year. Still, it seems to work with 2 rams at most. All compatible rams are listed on the official ASUS page for this motherboard, but only with a maximum of two slots. I tried everything to make it work with 4x 16gb but ended up with blue screens again and again. I have now taken out 2x 16gb and everything works fine...but I need 64gb!!! This is a disaster: not only that I have now bought 2x 16gb for nothing. In addition, the space for the first ram slot was so tight that I had to remove the heatsink to even have enough space next to the CPU fan. It is also incomprehensible that only the last bios update in July made it possible for my 6000mhz RAMs to be recognized as such. So that's a whopping 9 months since the motherboard was released. What kind of idiots built this motherboard? For me, this was definitely the last ASUS product I bought! Horrible!!!

Great board & I always go for the z prime -a boards but this seems way over priced I'm sure it's great quality but I feel 200-230 would be max for this type of board hitting almost 300 usd is just to much imo

Just found one "open box" from microcenter for $107.96

I'm building a budget pc. Is this a good build? Intel Core i5-12600K | Asus PRIME Z690-P ATX LGA1700 Motherboard | Seagate FireCuda 530 1 | TB Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB), I'll buy a gpu when the prices are really low. Budget pc > 1k

I got this motherboard for 165 definitely a great mobo for the price

[@ronchampagne8484]

I have one of these , junk beware ! Ny enabling XMP the motherboard is a brick . Clear cmos , removing batteries did nothing to get it back . I just handed the return box back to ups . I want a replacement but I'm nervous . In 30+ years of assembling pc ( the first was 80386) I've never had a MB go bad like this

SATA will never retire as M.2 Storage still cost more than HDDs.

Bought this mobo paired with i5 12600k 240mm aio and a gtx1080ti, it only boots with integrated graphics and my gpu despite showing lights and the fan running it wont post, i tried the second pcie slot and same problem, wtf is this? Another case of Asus incompetence? Is the gtx1080ti too old to get supported? Its so frustrating
