Asus Maximus Z690

Best headset I've ever owned! I went with the Asus Z690 Maximus Hero motherboard and couldn't pass up the new Asus Rog Animate keyboard and Asus Rog Animate headset.

Works perfectly in my Asus z690 p 1700 12700k system

I built my last computer in like NOV-DEC of 2013. The motherboard was a ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero (Intel-compatible). It has worked flawlessly all these years, and I couldn't ask for more. It still works. I decided it's time to upgrade because I wanted an ultrawide monitor. The last thing I wanted to do was have to tear all the components out and RMA a board, costing me HOURS of my life, all for saving $100 of a cheaper MB on the front end. So I opted for the once again flagship product from Asus and my expectations are high!

I finally upgraded my system after nearly 7 years. Glad I chose the ASUS ROG STRIX z690-F. I love how many m.2 NVMe slots it has, the control in the colors was easy and syncs with my cpu cool and fans. Not generally a big RGB person, but the controls were really nice. No issues with the motherboard and I would highly recommend it.

I am using this ram because I am a long time fan of Crucial ram for years and years. This ram is not OC'ed and is running stable. XMP is enabled in BIOS. I did not like the RGB bling so was grateful Crucial keeps it old school for some of us who dont need all that. Also. with the CPU cooler being as fat as it is, the low profile of this ram is a much needed thing.

Previously I used ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E, I upgraded to Z790-E, this motherboard I love that it has 12 USB ports, it is enough for my use, I love it.

Works great with Noctua NH-U9S cooler in ASUS TUF Z690 plus wifi motherboard. I use it for gaming, etc.

Upgraded from a ASUS Strix Z690-F with a 9700k. Went with the ASUS Strix Z690-F and 13700k. The ASUS Strix Z690 has 4 NVME drive bays with heatsinks. Super beefy VRM and other component heatsinks across the board. RGB and fan headers are well placed and the motherboard includes a AIO header. Cool velcro logo'ed strap for cable management. I didn't sue it but it looks cool. Great quality build. If you want a top tier motherboard without going "Elite", go Strix.

First custom build with an ASUS Z690 Creator WIFI MOBO and Noctuna NH-D15 CPU cooler. Lots of power from the CPU with no issues with heat.

Installed on my Maximus XI Apex and it's awesome 10g speeds.
