ASRock Extreme motherboards combine design and efficiency. With reliable components and improved thermal management, they deliver consistent performance over time and are extremely efficient.
The ASRock Z690 Extreme motherboard is designed to accommodate 12th generation Intel processors on socket LGA 1700. It will allow the assembly of a powerful and versatile configuration capable of performing all tasks. Gaming, streaming, intensive multitasking, multimedia creation, it is the ideal solution to design ahigh-end PC with high performance. It also supports DDR4 RAM, PCI-Express 5.0 16x graphics cards, PCI-E 4.0 M.2 SSDs, andUSB 3.1and USB 3.2 devices .
The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. Together, the two provide spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.

I highly recommend this motherboard.
The BIOS system is understandable and quite easy to use!
I especially like the idea of searching for driver updates directly in the BIOS.
I currently have no problems with the motherboard.
I'm sorry that for the price, the screws are not available, so I have to rummage around in the stock. Some of the connectors, especially the 8 pin CPU, are badly placed, even for a large tower, and I'm not saying anything about the fan power supplies placed everywhere. A good card but a bit messy
