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.

    AVOID! BESTBUY! BAD! Please Fix

    I ordered this Mobo and come to find out it is not compatible with 13 gen right out of the box. You will have to take it to a PC store to update bios or buy/borrow a 12 gen cpu to update the bios to be able to use a 13th gen board. BESTBUY! PLEASE CLARIFY THIS IN THE DESCRIPTION! SO PEOPLE DON'T WASTE THEIR TIME AND MONEY. I blame you for letting this mobo come up as "compatible".
