In fact, I expected it to be worse, but it turned out to be not so bad and in general the functionality is acceptable. Why did I choose ASUS? Oddly enough, there was no choice. First of all, almost the entire range of motherboards from this company based on the Intel H610 chipset appeared on the market. And the most affordable offer was ASUS Prime H610M-K D4. I was lucky to find a board a little more expensive, but really a step up.

Asus Prime Z690M-Plus D4 is a versatile and relatively inexpensive solution. It has 15 USB ports of different kinds (including 1 USB 3.2 Gen2×2 and 1 USB 3.2 Gen2), 2 PCIe x16 slots, 2 PCIe x1 slots, 3 M.2 slots, 4 SATA ports and 7 fan connectors. In principle, for a mid-level model, peripheral support is very decent. The board is not equipped with a wireless network module, but there is an M.2 slot for self-installation of an adapter like the AX201. The board has a good cooling system for almost every potentially heated element, but the drives in the M.2 slots devoid of cooling are a minus.
