Running with no issues, and that's great because this is the first time, I'm using this brand. This is one of the few Z690 ITX DDR4 board and I'm happy that I haven't encountered any problems with this. Given I'm still waiting for a dedicated GPU (maybe 3060 Ti or 6700 xt) so i'm not sure how that will work but for now with a 12600k, 64G, 1 M.2 drive, 1SSD and 1 HDD it's running well.

- Best bang for the buck Z690 board available out there.

Super impressed with this motherboard! Definitely worth the price, specially when on sale - a great amount of features for a mid-ranger. Has plenty of I/O, WiFi/Bluetooth which has been very stable so far, super-fast M.2 interface, the list goes on. Highly recommend!

If you're going 12600k or less I really think this is the ITX board to get. It just works. You really don't need DDR5 anyways. Stop trying to justify blowing money for miniscule 3% performance gains. 12700k or above I'd start considering looking elsewhere. This board isn't fancy. It works well though out of the box and has everything you need. Glad, I went this route. Basically a 'budget' 12th gen build. Without the cooler compatibility and DDR5 headaches of other 12th gen itx boards. This will be my primary PC for atleast five years. I have no doubts it'll be able to keep up with modern games for years to come.
Yes. Get it on sale and skip DDR5 for now. I paired with I7...but maybe save money and go with I5.
Pros: Production quality high, value for money good. UEFI configuration interface looks good and complete but these are early days with this MB... BIOS was upgraded (cautiously) from 1.19 to 7.02 without problems.Cons: I would like more details of the BIOS settings but then the manual would be 3cm thick and the shipping cost would go right up... (The same with all MBs I have seen.) No serious problems observed but this is only day 3 of testing...
A lot of good options such as 2 M.2 slots and pcie 5 x 16. No complaints to date. It just worked.
The audio works as if being driven by a potato battery.
I'm running a 12900K in it, and you can modify the power limits so it runs at full load (240 watts for this chip) all the time. By default it's at 125, and there's an option to use 150, but I believe these are holdovers from previous boards/BIOS, since it's the exact same options I saw on other versions of this board from 11th gen. When you manually change PL1/PL2, the change stick, so that's the ideal way to change power limits in my opinion. PL2 is set at 241. It hasn't throttled in about 60-80 seconds of Cinebench R23 at 240 watt PL1, so I'm not sure at what point the VRMs would start throttling. Only real criticism I have is that the layout of the board makes putting your own heatsinks on the uncovered VRMs more difficult than it needs to be. They're situated ... MoreI'm running a 12900K in it, and you can modify the power limits so it runs at full load (240 watts for this chip) all the time.

Only real criticism I have is that the layout of the board makes putting your own heatsinks on the uncovered VRMs more difficult than it needs to be. They're situated inbetween capacitors. So you have to use tinier heatsinks with tinier cuts of thermal tape, which raises the risk that it will eventually peel off and if the heatsink falls off, it can short something where it lands. So that's the reason I haven't put my own heatsinks on it yet. You may know a better way.
Perhaps I should try downgrade BIOS ? Any suggestions? 5 eggs if I can access BIOS.
