When it’s comes to gaming ASUS doesn’t best! What an amazing MB for the price, supports Gen 12, 13 and 14 Intel processors. I paired it with an Intel 12700k to play MW 2 and MW 3. Down the line of I ever need more cores, I can always update the CPU to a 14th Gen Intel i7 or an i9 processors.

This ROG STRIX motherboard is one of the best values among Z690 motherboards currently available. It is nearly the perfect motherboard for most gamers and power users. === PROS === - Excellent design and looks. - Tons of rear I/O ports. - Three M.2 slots, one of which supports PCIe 5.0. Heatsinks included. - Two more M.2 slots can be added with the included Hyper M.2 expansion card. - Supports DDR5 and Wi-Fi 6e. - Seamless driver recognition/installation after booting Windows for the first time. - Tons of options and advanced settings available in BIOS. - So far, completely stable after 3+ months of use on this setup: i7-12700K, RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB DDR5 @ 5600MHz === CONS === - With four sticks of DDR5, you can't overclock the RAM or use XMP. You'll likely have to stick with two sticks of DDR5 for the highest speeds and greatest compatibility. This is true of most (all?) Z690 boards but will hopefully improve with BIOS updates. - The ASUS Armoury Crate software is confusing to use, with advanced settings buried deep in several different menus. === OVERALL === No need to spend more on a super-premium Z690 board unless you are a serious overclocker. This ROG STRIX Z690-E checks all the boxes.
