Do the job!
Nice motherboard. Very high quality hardware.
Works great in my case.
Still lacks usb ports for the chassis (if you nitpick a little).
The only real flaw is that I find the component check phase a bit long (even if efficient)

The Asus z690-F is a good value for money. The BIOS documentation is unfortunately poor, but there are enough tutorials on the Internet.
if the card works very well, I noticed that the latch that locks the video card, works badly, it has difficulty to lock...
In addition to being beautiful, it is really excellent when coupled with my i9 12900k and my 5200 mhz ddr5 rams, like Theo for the moment the overclock is, I think, unnecessary.
I wanted to have a motherboard that drives all my fans in PWN, I am served with this one.
The ventirad (Noctua) and the 5 case fans (Be Quiet) are automatically controlled by the AI with some home-made adjustments (spinning up/down mainly and secondary fans stop depending on the CPU and/or GPU temperature). Everything is automatically adjusted according to the use: office/film or gaming. This is really what I was looking for and I'm more than happy with it because the fans are optimally used in every situation.
I had to update the bios to the latest version to be able to enable the XMP profile of my RAM strips (5600mhz instead of 4800mhz).
In perfect symbiosis with my i9 12900k, I haven't tried CPU overclocking yet, not really seeing the point lol.
DDR5 memory unavailable
at first sight the card has some great components to see at installation
- the ASUS package is always impeccable
impossible to test
