ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI MB

Work stable, excellent Bios & software functions

Great purchase

This is a great MB, easy to setup and it rocks! Plenty of M.2 slots so no issue for storage etc. I have a 12th Gen CPU installed with Windows 11 and no issues setting this up and getting to run out of the box! Sure it's not cheap but if you want/need a MB that's more than enough for future proofing then it's worth the price.

First Build

Seems well made, good manual, so far so good

The Asus Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi is a well-done Intel LGA1700 motherboard with top-notch power delivery and copious storage support. It includes the premium features most users will want, without shooting the price into the upper atmosphere.

Extensive storage options; Large number of VRMs for CPU overclocking; Includes Hyper M.2 card for two additional PCIe storage drives; BIOS flashback function doesn’t require CPU or RAM (meaning an easier upgrade for 13th Gen Core CPUs); Lots of USB ports for peripherals

Costs more than most PC builders will want to spend; Some headers feel crowded, with large heatsinks everywhere
