Can’t wait to build my next pc with this board. Just built one with a 3080ti for around $3000 2 months ago. Gonna order this board and pull my GPU from my current one, should be a beast! 😈
Just got mine today super lucky! I wanted in the pc store seen boxes and asked if they had any good mobo and they showed me this mobo. Only thing I freaking need is ram.
I've seen many PC reviews that are saying the same thing. That is, if you want to get an RTX 3000 video card it's cheaper to buy a NEW pre-built PC. Same thing if you want a motherboard with Intel i9 12gen CPU, Z690, and DDR5 memory. Maybe ASUS should sell their boards with CCR5 memory preinstalled. Makes little sense to buy this motherboard when you can't get DDR5. I checked on eBay today and it's available. Yes, it is, between $1500 and $2000 for 32GB. I used to be able to build a very nice gaming PC for around $1500. Now, I can't even get the memory for that price. I guess Santa might as well stay at the North Pole this year.
Hello. I read a review where it states if a m.2 ssd is input in the first primary m.2 slot it cuts the primary pcie slot from 16x to 8x.. is this true ? V
Yes, I ended up using the second M.2 slot for this very reason. The second M.2 still has a direct connection to the CPU instead of going through the chipset. The first M.2 is PCIe 5.0 capable so I don’t see the need to go 8x on your GPU unless you have a PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMe drive. I gotta get those extra 3-5 FPS in game out of my 3080 Ti 😂. Hope this helps.
In any case, I've got no more pci-e 8-pin connector available on my PSU so what if I use a SATA 6-pin connector available on my PSU and plug in a male to male cable instead? Will the SATA 6-pin connector deliver enough power? EDIT: I checked the tech specs on ASUS website and I missed the explaination of this 6-pin connector so Jeffry Fernando was right It's to deliver 60W to the internal USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connector for the front panel, otherwise it can only support 27W
I bought a new ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 EXTREME and my motherboard makes a high frequency sound from the very beggining till I power off. Doeas anyone face the same issue? I will DOA it ASAP.
Intel should make sure there are plenty of PCIe lane support, up to at least 28.. would like to see 40 myself.. 28 would give you x16, x8 and x4.. which would give you nothing left at all for the M.2 shared PCIe.. so 40 would be ideal..
And good luck finding a Z690 system. I want an Asus Maximus Hero Z690, an Intel 12900 processor, and 128 Gb DDR5. None to be found now...and my palms are itching!
@@eTeknix Two days ago I received my 3-slot NVlink bridge for my second 3090. Took me two months to find one. My newly-built system is an 1-9 11900, Maximus XIII Hero Z590, a128 Gb RAM, and four Samsung 980 M.2's. Now with Sli 3090s...smiles. Sad thing is tho...I want to replace the 11900 with the 12900...get the new 690 Hero...and get 128 Gb of the DDR5...that is...if I can find the 690 hardware. Can't.
I'm building my new gaming computer. Your video was very helpful. My parts are very similar to the ones you used. Parts are VERY expensive these days. Motherboard $800, GPU $2400, DDR Memory $2,000, CPU $1,200 etc. As they say, "If you want to dance you have to pay the piper." When finished, I'll need to reinforce my computer desk. It will weigh a ton but it will go nicely with my 38-inch monitor. VERY nice to have an understanding wife.
Considering every time you say that the motherboard is so heavy, it's starting to make me think that you could kill someone by just throwing it at a person's head, hypothetically speaking.
@@beavermatic It’s White instead of Black too. I want one, but $2500 is steep. I might just skip WC’ing my Mobo/M.2 Drives and get this regular extreme to finish my hardline WC build.

No...they will be releasing PCIe 5.0 SSDs soon after alder lake launches, and more to come in 2022 according to the multiple articles I've read. SSDs with sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s are possible supposedly.
@@vivalabad6 As i see it PCIE 5.0 SSD will be out Q2 in 2022. But we should not be surprised to wait to next Christmas. And it's not so much SSD. Nvidia are having BIG problems with the 30xx series graphic cards. People have been waiting a year and a half to get their cards, And we have heard nothing about pcie 5.0 cards. It's a disaster. And by the way. No app or game will use Pcie 5.0 in 3 years. Pcie 4. 0 is just fine for new games and NVME pcie 4.0 is also doing fine. If you have a z590 board you could easy wait 3 year and then do an upgrade.
@@eriksrensen6369 I see, thank you for the information! That makes a lot of sense. I am needing an upgrade because all my stuff is 5-6 years old besides my graphics card...but it looks like I can't upgrade that yet anyways. So I will just wait for new GPUs later and swap.

You must be VERY dumb to spend so much for a Mobo.
Can this motherboard take the i9-13900K? 13th gen
Yes
How many TBs in m.2 can it hold?
where do the M.2 drives go?
Why is this board still more expensive than the later models (Z790 and X670e)?
have problems when i put xmp 1 .. not supported the memory!
ASUS coming up with cool ideas, love it!
Also some of the most obnoxious prices for mobos ever!
which is better this or z690 maximus hero
The little slider piece that came with it that I assume is for holding the graphics card.... how did you get that to work?
Has it been recalled yet?
yet no reviews its been months
Does anyone know where is M.2_1 slot PCIe 5.0 x4 located on the mother board? removed the panel i only see M.2_2, 3 where is the M.2_1?
The True Voltician is supposed to be a little oscilloscope. I forget what voltages it is supposed to measure, though
I like it
1000 W
How much does it cost??

Do the rog logo glow?
Got mine yesterday micro center Philly pa. It’s got one left I had the hero …. But they recalled and I couldn’t find any other high end boards
What’s the msrp on this originally? On Amazon is currently 1272
How much did you get for?
@@DextonJL mine was 1099
If you install in m.2_1 a pcie 5.0 m.2 - runs pcie1 at x16?
Any idea where/when they will be listed for sale?
You can certainly order at Scan UK's website at the moment.
Do you have the Glacial
“Belt buckle thing”
You mean a key chain?
5:17 oh yeah?
You dutty man 😂
do you have the apex board ? very expensive one is the glacial ;D sexy board for sure
Yes they do

Can you advise which power supply do i need to connect Z690 Extreme with this 24+1 (105A) ? I don't get it to be honest.
Dose it support SLI?
What kind of AIO will fit on these ?
The PCIE ports have 4 slots spacing right? I hope I can fit two RTX 3090 in here.

What for is the ATX 6-pin connector next to the ATX 24-pin's one?
Does it give extra power for a second graphics card or for some rear I/O connectors?
it's for the gpu, for those who do extreme overclocking
it's for front panel power charge 60w
