Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Formula Desktop Motherboard, Intel Z690 Chipset, Socket LGA-1700, Intel Optane Memory Ready, ATX

Great Motherboard looks great. Excellent features all round. Runs like a dream. Should last me quite a while fitted with i9 and 4090rtx etc. Always had Asus and Rog mobo's never let me down.

This is a solid board with great functionality and awesome thermals. Got a good overclock out of an ortherwise average 12900k. Pretty board to look at and comes with lots of extra bits to. I'm really happy with my purchase. Yes its expensive but the build quality and design features make it well worth the money.

I finally received my shipment ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 FORMULA Motherboard it's Windows 11 Ready, it's suit up for Intel Core i9, i7, i5 (12th Gen) it has USB-C Recharge useful for recharging phone, Oculus Quest 2 VR and also it can send and receive data, USB-A, 10GB ethernet for networking Max Ram bus speed 6400 MHz Thank you so much for support and caring i always buy from ASUS am a big fan my whole family buying from ASUS because we support and ASUS has good customer support i trust!

Although I initially had trouble getting the motherboard to recognize my Samsung NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 drives upon initial startup and my DDR5 Corsair ram ran at lower than spec speed. Once I was able to update to the latest BIOS (version 1003) all is running stable and at spec speeds using XMP1 now. The ROG ASUS online forum was very helpful during my PC build. Absolutely beautiful motherboard and she's very fast! Will venture into overclocking soon but stability it more important to me right now. I couldn't be more happy. Thank you, ASUS!

This motherboard is awesome! Packed with useful features and is stunning to look at. I had no troubles building with this motherboard. I wish all motherboards performed and looked as good as the Z690 Formula! I can't wait to build a custom EK water loop in my system. Nothing but good things to say about this board, I highly recommend it! It is outstanding!

So far so good. I have to say being a fan boy is NOT a good thing for a lot of reason. I was called one a about 10 years ago on a forum. If buying Asus products that have never let me down and have always worked I guess I am. 4 star is based on the last 2 years you've not been the same company I started with. Take care of the customer and fix the mistakes that I believe are 100% truthful. I'm glad to be back though.

Excellent motherboard but a little over the top as far as configuration settings. could be trimmed down just a bit.

I bought the formula because the Hero wasn't available at the time. The only thing that really bothers me about the Formula/Intel i9-12900k setup is that I can't get it to reach the ideal benchmark of 11440 for CPU-Z for Rog Motherboards. It keeps on showing up as 9099.3 on the CPU multi-thread test. Other than that it is OK. So far I have found that the Intel 12th generation promise of new heights in speed has not materialized. With the lack of DDR5 memory about, it has been more difficult and expensive to go the 12th Generation route and it hasn't made enough difference in speed to warrant it.

I am not much of an overclocker. I just like building my own PS's. The only thing I think Intel and AMD needs to realize is they're pushing these chipsets. They get hot and I know most say it's normal, but I'm sorry it's not. Instead of putting more development into there HEDT line they try to get the most out a more inferior chip which then runs hot. Otherwise this board is great

Si no fuera por el problema de diseño de la refrigeracion de vram fuera perfecto, recien contacte a asus para resolver el problema y me dijeron que 16 semanas y eso es demasiado tiempo para un placabase tan cara, espero mejoren su servicio tecnico ya que son una excelente compañia, cuando me repongan la placamadre defectuosa por una nueva con gusto actualizare mi opinion
