ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-I GAMING WIFI – NewEsc

Among the novelties is its front port for the tower that now comes on a separate PCB with two connectors. So we will have a more vertical plate with the SATA included, which worries me because it increases the ease with which it could break. Although on a positive side it is easier to fit the connectors of the tower. It also includes a fan inside the external connection protector to further cool the heatsink for the VRM.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI – GDM

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, “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.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 – OC3D

The ASUS ROG Z690 Strix-A D4 isn’t a motherboard that you’ll get the best from if you plan to just build your rig and leave it alone. It won’t disappoint by any measure, but you owe it to yourself to delve into the easy-to-use UEFI and manually fettle it. You could use the AI Overclocking but right now we dont really see the benefits of using this.. For gamers though the Strix-A is a magnificent option and wins our OC3D Gamers Choice Award.

ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 – itndaily

ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 is a powerful and functional motherboard with nice bonuses (we mean the updated Wi-Fi module and the presence of a PCI-E x4 connector), but with an impressive baggage of optimization problems. These are difficulties with overclocking memory, and a periodically flickering screen when starting a PC, and mediocre work of automation, which usually saves user time in the process of setting up / overclocking the system. We believe that the developers will solve these issues with the help of the latest firmware.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO – Overclockers Ukraine

On the right you can find the PCI-E Power connector for additional power to the expansion slots when using SLI / CF, a USB 3.2 header, a thermocouple header, and the greatest invention in a new generation of motherboards. Try to guess what it is? Do you think it’s an auto overclocking button or CLR_CMOS? Maybe launching a secret RGB auxiliary for overclocking?

ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 – Overclockers Russia

ASUS boards have holes for both standards, but in the case of LGA 1200, you need to make sure of the clamping force. The processor itself did not become higher or lower, but most likely the socket itself became a little lower and the processor substrate became thinner. All these are microns, but you need to take into account even them, so it is better to once again just make sure of the strength of the clamping, and somewhere, if really the edge, slip a copper plate. Double holes for mounts are even on the top boards such as ASUS Maximus Z690 Hero.
