Perfectly balanced, full-format motherboard for gamers (and not only) from Asus. Belongs to the upper price segment, is part of the popular Asus The Ultimate Force series of components for gamers, made with an emphasis on quality and durability. Unlike most of its counterparts in the TUF series, this model is based on the flagship Intel Z690 chipset and a powerful 15-phase power subsystem, which makes it similar to the top solutions for gamers from the Asus ROG Strix lines.
Equipped with Intel LGA 1700 processor socket, designed for installation of 12th generation and 13th generation Intel Core/Pentium/Celeron processors (Alder Lake and Raptor Lake families). However, taking into account the high status of the device, the most far-sighted solution would be to use it in tandem with powerful components of the level of at least Core i7 and GeForce 3070/3080.
More modest processors and video cards will not physically be able to reveal its full potential. When creating the Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS, a compacted six-layer PCB textolite and a high-quality element base (solid electrolyte capacitors, low-resistance MOSFET assemblies, silent case ferrite chokes, etc.) were used. In addition, the manufacturer equipped all critical areas with additional cooling, covered the M.2 ports with auxiliary radiators, reinforced the PCI-E slots with steel fiber, and equipped the RAM slots with special SafeDIMM latches.
The equipment includes an Intel LAN controller with a built-in Wi-Fi receiver, 6 slots for connecting drives (4 SATA3 + 2 M.2 with PCI-E 4.0 bus support) and 4 standard slots for RAM. According to the manufacturer, the board is ready to take on board up to 4 DDR4 sticks with a high maximum speed (6000 MHz) and an impressive total capacity (128 GB). The kit also comes with proprietary hardware and software solutions for overclocking memory (OptiMem) and optimizing case cooling (Fan Xpert), and the UEFI BIOS has 2 operating modes (standard and advanced). Naturally, there are additional connectors for LED strips and free zones for placing a water pump on board.

Modern mother under 1700 socket. Almost everything you need is present, but without frills (like a post indicator, a power button or a q-connector). Overpriced
Damp bios. The currently available firmware (0807) did not fix the problem with memory overclocking via the XMP profile (AI Overclock Tuner XMP-I or XMP-II). The fact is that in these modes, the mother sets the FSB above 100 MHz, which most often leads to memory instability with frequencies above 3600 MHz. However, this problem can be easily bypassed if you set Overclock Tuner to Manual (FSB will be 99.8 MHz when set to 100 in BIOS) or Auto (FSB will be exactly 100 MHz), then set all timings and memory voltage manually, in accordance with the selected XMP profile ( if you don't know how to do it, set Overclock Tuner to XMP-II, open DRAM Timing Control and write down all values other than Auto, then set Overclock Tuner to Manual or Auto and open DRAM Timing Control again, change values from Auto to saved Last but not least, don't forget to change the DRAM Voltages by checking the XMP profile). Given the catastrophic shortage of DDR5 and inadequate prices for it, it is quite possible to take it as a transitional option (provided that you already have DDR4 from the previous assembly) with an eye to upgrading in half a year or a year, when prices and DDR5 timings will decrease. |
