ASRock Z690 Steel Legend – GinjFo

by

This Z690 Steel Legend is available in Wi-Fi version or not. For the moment, ASRock only offers it in DDR4 edition. One of its weapons to tackle the competition is its look. The constructor is playing a tricky card because the camouflage style has its effect but can be offensive. It is always risky to offer a look outside the standard, it is a risk-taking that we can only welcome. In our eyes, the whole offers a worked and successful rendering especially at the level of the 6-layer PCB (2 ounces of copper). The marriage of white and black makes it possible to play on the contrast in order to highlight the equipment offering for its part white and silver.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI – GDM

by

Adopting a calm design based on black, which is the mainstream in recent motherboards, the power supply circuit is equipped with a 16 + 1 phase digital power supply circuit by “Smart Power Stage” which has higher output than DrMOS . Furthermore, by sticking to a cooling system such as a large heat sink connected by a heat pipe and a 6-layer board that quickly dissipates heat around the VRM, “Maximum Turbo Power” is set to a maximum of 241 W 12th generation Intel Core It is a reason to maximize the performance of the processor.

ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 – itndaily

by

ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 is a powerful and functional motherboard with nice bonuses (we mean the updated Wi-Fi module and the presence of a PCI-E x4 connector), but with an impressive baggage of optimization problems. These are difficulties with overclocking memory, and a periodically flickering screen when starting a PC, and mediocre work of automation, which usually saves user time in the process of setting up / overclocking the system. We believe that the developers will solve these issues with the help of the latest firmware.

To cool this power system we find a huge heatsink that has twice the dissipation surface of its predecessors, heatsinks that conform to the design of the MOSFET to increase the thermal efficiency of the heatsink and improve airflow and heat exchange. This increase in thermal performance is due to the main heatsink has been manufactured in one piece and implements several air inlets that improve the cooling of the assembly and greater efficiency in the dissipation of the heat produced by the board power system. To top all this off, is also implemented.

On the right you can find the PCI-E Power connector for additional power to the expansion slots when using SLI / CF, a USB 3.2 header, a thermocouple header, and the greatest invention in a new generation of motherboards. Try to guess what it is? Do you think it’s an auto overclocking button or CLR_CMOS? Maybe launching a secret RGB auxiliary for overclocking?

ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 – Overclockers Russia

ASUS boards have holes for both standards, but in the case of LGA 1200, you need to make sure of the clamping force. The processor itself did not become higher or lower, but most likely the socket itself became a little lower and the processor substrate became thinner. All these are microns, but you need to take into account even them, so it is better to once again just make sure of the strength of the clamping, and somewhere, if really the edge, slip a copper plate. Double holes for mounts are even on the top boards such as ASUS Maximus Z690 Hero.

GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS XTREME – GinjFo

by

It’s full Black dress consists of several heat sinks, one of which, equipped with two heat pipes, tackles the cooling of an M.2 SSD. We also have an imposing radiator with thin aluminum fins around the socket or a back plate occupying almost the entire surface of the PCB.

This Z690 Aorus XTREME is aimed at gamers, overclocking enthusiasts or enthusiasts looking to assemble an ultimate configuration. Through its Z690 Aorus Xtreme, Gigabyte offers all its know-how in terms of high-end motherboard.
