Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the PRIME Z690-A motherboard's price and performance, particularly its DDR5 support. However, some users note the lack of integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a few experienced difficulties with BIOS updates and compatibility with certain CPUs. The board's ease of use and performance are highlighted as positive aspects. Potential buyers should be aware of these compatibility issues before purchasing.

    Had a great experience with my old board( Asus Prime z390-A) so I decided to go with them again for my new build. Installation was easy, everything you really need to know is in the paper manual. It comes with a dvd that has necessary drivers but i dont know anyone who still has a dvd drive in their PC. Would have been nice to get a flashdrive with everything instead, but it doesnt really matter since youre most likely going to download drivers from their support page. Love the new latches used to keep the nmve drives in place, i always end up losing those small screws and this made installation super easy. Only real issue I had was with running my RAM at its rated speed. Everytime I enabled xmp the computer wouldn't post. Updating the bios to the latest allowed me to finally enable XMP without issues.

    Not sure why people rate this motherboard low due to their own lack of research, BBY should have correct stats but always check manufacturers spec sheets prior to buying. This is DDR5, the DDR4 version has been out for ages and it’s cheaper.

    AWESOME MoBo, pre-loaded CPU clamps for the i7 & i9, runs the system exactly how you want it. just go into bios and pick how you want your system to run. 1. make sure you have the motherboard drivers before you start your build.

    This board does not work with the 13th gen Intel CPUs out of the box. It needs a BIOS update but there is no function to do the update since the board won't get past its initial hardware checks. You must use an older CPU, do the BIOS update then swap the CPUs out. A lot of hassle. For just a few more dollars you can get the Z790-A which has 13th gen support out of the box.

    As stated above you’re advertising the wrong board. I bought a Z690 ddr4 board I thought according to all of you’re information. That is not the case, this is a ddr5 board and is very different from the ddr4 version. The board I have and the ram you sold me are not compatible, I now have over $600 over useless parts thanks to your item listing. I feel like bestbuy shoold give us a early purchase of ddr5 and even a discount since all the information and products giving are incorrect and not compatible. Ddr5 isn’t availble anywhere thats why i chose the ddr 4 variant. Please send me some ddr5 as soon as possible so this brick in my closet can work. Thanks for nothing
