ASUS ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI – El Chapuzas Informatico

by

The Asus ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi starts from the premise that a content creator needs the best connectivity for external devices and networks. With this in mind, it integrates two rear USB-C 3.2 Gen2x2 ports compatible with Thunderbolt and DisplayPort , as well as a front one and numerous USB 3.2 ports . The mix of networks is also exceptional with a 10 GbE , another 2.5 GbE and a Wi-Fi 6E with BT 5.2. For the rest, it is not a motherboard that attracts too much attention, since its design is quite sober and elegant and the rest of the features are in the average of the Z690 with DDR5.

Intel B660 Motherboards Limited to PCIe Gen 4?

by

The fact that B660 motherboards might not support Gen5 is actually a bit surprising considering that Gen5 lanes are attached to the CPU, not the chipset. However, the B660 chipset is aiming at the mid-range segment and 12th Gen Core non-K series. People who might want to upgrade to the LGA1700 platform with the minimum investment are not likely to jump on the Gen5 GPUs and SSDs right away (such devices are expected to launch in the first half of 2022). So needless to say Gen5 is not exactly a feature they might miss.

Underneath the heatsink, you’ll find a total of three M.2 slots for your high-speed storage needs.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX – Overclocking

by

The only downside concerns the price of this APEX version, which is currently around 750 euros while the Z590 version was available at 550 euros at launch. Now this rise in motherboards seems to affect almost all brands. Let’s hope that these prices decrease in the coming weeks in order to be modeled on those of the previous generation. Remember that you will also need to invest in DDR5.

ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS D4 – OC3D

by

The ASUS Z690-Plus TUF Gaming WiFi D4 is all the PCI Express 5.0 and 12th Gen Intel goodness, but wrapped up in a package that supports DDR4 instead of DDR5. Naturally our first question was whether this was a wise move on their part, and how much of a difference it will make to the performance of your system. You don’t want to get a brand new CPU and get it hamstrung by RAM, but equally you don’t want to needlessly spend money if there is no performance benefit to be had.

by

The Z690-E is the newest addition to that famous range and has seen a little bit of a revision to the aesthetics in comparison to other Strix products we’ve seen recently. No longer does the box have the famous multi-hued ROG Eye that is so readily identifiable, instead the packaging is much more like one of the Maximus/Rampage ASUS models. The board itself has also dispenses with the glitchy font that plagued the last hardware set and, instead, has a much more toned down look than you might expect to find.
