only 4 stars because for a complete card with wifi for fiber bluetooth, there is no optical audio plug for home cinema, obliged to buy a sound card in + of the blow
I'm just taking off one star for not having put the direct link to the ASUS product page, with the list of hardware compatibilities which turns out to be a bit limited.
Indeed, the reduced list of supported DDR4 RAM references can eventually force you to change a RAM kit that you wanted to save in the first place by buying a Z690 D4.
The same goes for power supplies, with an even shorter list.
Check before you buy, otherwise the card works well and looks rather robust.
Quite satisfied.
beautiful motherboard, very clear bios, stable and really well cooled, no need to say ASUS are the best
