In terms of features, I have to say that the BIOSTAR Z690 VALKYRIE motherboard is no different from the A model that is DDR4. Both the motherboard, the power supply, the chipset and the M.2, and there are also beautiful RGB lights throughout the motherboard as well. including those connecting various channels that are designed to support a lot of work, including DIY, decorate more fully as well.

Finally came to the conclusion with a review of BIOSTAR Z690A VALKYRIE, the latest Z690 chipset motherboard that today I must say that the performance is excellent. Fully compatible with Intel Core i9 12900K CPU. Although the BIOS is not a perfect version, much. But it can do a good job with full support for all Intel 12th Gen CPUs in Alder Lake code. As you have seen in the test with a large CPU model, the top Core i9 12900K is overclocked at a speed of 5.1Ghz, All Core power is only 1.25-1.27v, bus RAM is 4600Mhz all the time.

Top motherboards in the latest Intel Z690 chipset with motherboards that are compatible with the LGA1700 platform, today tested with the top-of-the-line Intel Core i9 12900K CPUs. At 5.1Ghz, the power supply is only 1.23v, the 5200Mhz bus ram was stable throughout the test. and can press each other fully through 5.5Ghz is not difficult with 24+1 power stages that deliver very stable power. The overclocking system is very thorough. Yes, with the lighting system or fine-tuning, suitable for those who are truly professionals, including fine-tuning various functions.

That’s the full detail of the ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI motherboard, which is considered a second-tier board, but it’s packed with a lot of essentials. If you look at the capabilities of the board itself, Pairing with the INTEL CORE i7 12700KF CPU is a fairly suitable match: the price level is 18,590 baht, which is about 10,000 baht more expensive than its predecessor. As for the overclocking capabilities, from a few days of trying and using at 5.0 GHz, I consider it stable, which is not sure how quickly the new bios can be pushed upwards. Usually we’ll have to wait.

The 12700K goes toe-to-toe with the 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 5600X that has long been the favorite for enthusiasts because of its incredible blend of pricing and performance. These chips come with 65W and 105W TDP ratings, respectively, 32MB of L3 cache, and have only high-performance cores. Both chips support DDR4-3200 memory and the PCIe 4.0 interface.

The new DDR5 memory comes with the expected early-adopter tax, and prices of memory modules range wildly mostly based on frequency. A single 16 GB DDR5-4800 module costs around $120, but overclocked modules, such as DDR5-5200 and DDR5-6000, or higher, could cost double or even triple that. Granted, these only cater to a niche crowd, but we’re curious to see just how much performance you “lose” by sticking to the DDR5-4800, which Intel considers baseline for the “Alder Lake” memory controllers.

The Asus ProArt X570-Creator WiFi comes in a standard sized box with no frills or bells and whistles. The design is austere and stylish at the same time. The kit is located under the board in separate compartments.
The scope of delivery is relatively modest: in addition to traditional elements such as a user manual and SATA cables, there is an antenna for the built-in Wi-Fi module, screws for M.2 slots, a drive with software, a cable for connecting the DisplayPort output of an external video card to a similar input via the Intel Thundferbolt4 interface, proprietary adapter for the front panel.

Adopting a calm design based on black, which is the mainstream in recent motherboards, the power supply circuit is equipped with a 16 + 1 phase digital power supply circuit by “Smart Power Stage” which has higher output than DrMOS . Furthermore, by sticking to a cooling system such as a large heat sink connected by a heat pipe and a 6-layer board that quickly dissipates heat around the VRM, the “Maximum Turbo Power” is set to a maximum of 241 W 12th generation Intel Core It is a reason to maximize the performance of the processor.
