Review on 🎮 ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming WiFi 6E LGA1700 Intel 12th Gen ATX Gaming Motherboard - PCIe 5.0, DDR5, 16+1 Power Stages, 2.5Gb LAN, BT v5.2, Thunderbolt 4, 4xM.2 by Micha Osiski ᠌

The board is of high quality, designed for gamers and high-performance components. But there are a number of very controversial decisions. - huge, just huge VRM casings, half of the coolers do not fit. Perhaps they were relying solely on water and AIO cooling. - a very strange decision to place the chipset behind the video card, which will definitely be powerful and hot. As a result, the chipset is poorly ventilated, and even at idle it drives past 70°. I had to install a fan that blows directly on the card and chipset in order to lower it by at least 10 degrees. - a little "free" slots for DIMM, at first I could not understand why there were so many falls of the system, it turned out that the memory did not fit snugly to the contacts. - the first M2 slot is located right behind the video card, so it also heats up. I advise you to immediately put the memory down, in the second and third. Otherwise, the board is very pleasant and suitable. I bought it in the "special operation" time, when there was not much choice.
