Asus Prime Z690-P D4 Desktop Motherboard - Intel Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - Intel Optane Memory Ready - ATX

Purchased for use in an unraid server using Gen 12 CPU. Added Dual 10Gbe Nic and SAS HBA controller. This motherboard has enough pcie x4 and x16 slots to support the expansion cards I need. 3 Gen4 M.2 slots, 4 sata ports, a gen 5 pcie16 and multiple x4 slots.Very stable so far. Previously used an MSI Pro Z690-A, but that board was not stable and kept dropping USB devices as well as having greatyer that 4 minute post times. This Asus board is a great replacement.

Great motherboard. I love that it has 2 USB 3.2 headers. The only thing I wish it had, are USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C internal headers and external ports - I missed that when purchasing. Almost returned it, but found type A to type C adapters. Using the Ryzen 9 12 core CPU - works fine. On initial OS install, LAN was very unstable, till drivers and BIOS updates were done. Note: Because of the LAN issues, I had to download ASUS updates with another machine, then use a thumb drive to install the updates. After installing the updates, all functions are stable. Configuration: Windows 11 Pro ASUS Geforce Rtx 4080 GPU Samsung 2tb 980 NVME Silverstone 1000W PSU. WD 16tb hard drive. Build Notes: Not a motherboard issue - The Rtx 4080 GPU is sweet, but it is a beast. It takes 3 seperate PCIE power rails, and uses a special pigtail connector that comes off the top of the card. I know of no computer cases that will close, between the size of the card and the card's bulky adapter cable. The 4080 engineers needed to think that through and make a recession to facilitate the adapter, or put power connections on the end of the card. To solve this, a vertical mount was used. This works great, but, takes all expansion slots - Period. For this reason, a built in type C USB would be beneficial, to make external expansion more practical. In conclusion, so far I am very happy with this motherboard. ASUS has donea fine job.

Amazing mobo, mid range, awesome pricing, booted right up, XMP'd my ram right away... even before I loaded windows. Love this board. Paired up with an i7 12gen F series, no need for me to overclock. Radeon 6700 XT, 32gbs of G. SKILL TridentZ RGB sticks, 36000mhz. Using the Enermax AIO, single fan cooler. Holding great temperatures, btw. EVGA super nova 850 gold. 1TB/2TB 970 evo plus M.2's.

PRIME Z690-P D4 motherboard has an eye pleasing look to it. It has no RGB on the board yet has plenty of 5volt and 12volt RGB headers. The brushed aluminum heat sinks reflect RGB light well enough that the board it self doesn't need them. The AIO header is a nice addition. The BIOS software is second to none. The performance of the PRIME Z690-P D4 is well balanced (meaning: when the right CPU, DDRM and GPU are installed the PRIME Z690-P D4 out performs all other boards that I have ever owned).

A full size ATX board as opposed to a Micro_ATX which accommodates a chipset allowing overclock of either or both CPU and/or RAM memory. This motherboard has multiple USB3.1 ports and one 3.2XX header along with three NVMe ports for this type storage. Great Value for what you receive.

Not a big fan of all the rgb lights on the boards now days and this board had everything I wanted minus those stupid lights, but also gives me the option to add as much rgb as I want in the future if I so desire.

Quality motherboard that's fairly easy to setup, could use a better User Guide, the one supplied is pretty sparse. I have built other systems with much better guides. ASUS builds excellent motherboards and this one doesn't disappoint.

Overall I am very pleased. So far this is been a very reliable board. I wish it had more USB components that came with it versus purchase… But that is a small thing. Insulation and set up were very easy no issues. Recommended for an entry-level board… My use case is not gaming it is home server… So my goals are quiet and reliable.

Great board with Gen 5 Pcie for future upgrade, I used Gen 4 memory and video board. Good manual and texh support online. I needed help getting into the BIOS after updating to Ver 1704, eventually worked using Ver. 1603.

Pretty mediocre motherboard with horrid Bluetooth issues. All of my Bluetooth devices that I attempted to connect to this motherboard had outrageously bad latency and sound quality. Constant stuttering and many other things. Overall, I do not recommend this motherboard, especially also remembering that even though this pretty expensive motherboard has a total of 3 M.2 slots, only one heatsink is included and one of the slots is going to be obstructed by your graphics card anyway.
