Tempting but don't need another ATX. Thanks though.

Looking for ITX right now. Already got Lian Li A4-H2O case.

Issue now is most mobo manufacturers today trying to increase the prices. B660 at RM1k is ridiculous. They raise price, I raise expectation.

I miss high end boards at RM1k.

This mobo sells like hot cakes on US.

Asus not bringing it here because it will affect their sales on other models.

hi guys,

im looking to upgrade my 5 y/o system so i'm eyeing the z690 architecture

my current base is gonna be the Z690 Aorus Pro DDR4 but i kinda want the 13th gen as well. i'm going with ddr4 as it doesnt seem beneficial to be swapping to ddr5 atm and new z790 boards are supposedly switching jedec spec to 5600 so any ddr5 boards i buy now are kinda gonna be obselete soon

is there any leak that's hinting >10% leap over current 12th gen like for example, 13700k vs 12700k in games?

should i just get 12600k and call it a day?

wait im confused, is there a z670/z770 chipset 

Giga boards kinda finicky with the bios. u re better off with MSi or Asus. Remember Z690 does support Raptor with a bios update. so u got lot's of choices if z790 proves too expensive.

Anybody can get EVGA motherboard?
Z690 classified or Z790

Got any motherboard to recommend sifu ?
Gen 4 M.2 slot all over other motherboard brand not like EVGA.
This will tell you the engineer other brand got no brain or cut cost.

If the bios is perfect why need update every time ?

Time to trash Asus.

Recall

Call bomba (7 months to recall product)

sorry Asus fans

wait, it isnt? 
so those tuf and rog are just gimmick? lol

for me, right now the only mobo i will buy is b550m mortar max, or just MSI generally.
Then Asus, Asrock respectively, and gigabyte is last resort lol

Asus got brand tax for us.

I ended up with Asus Prime Z690M-Plus D4 (USD189.99) from USA because they didn't bring it here.. And look, they decided to bring Z790M-Plus D4 at RM1119. Cool, with Asus tax again.

189.99 United States Dollar equals 896.18 Malaysian Ringgit

Yeah. SST. Still cheaper.
I already got Strix D4. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Z690M-Plus for more budget CPUs.

Bro can advise where can get the Asus Z790 Hero? Bought the 13900K but no board. Most of the shops told only available from Nov.

GX2  A die memory?

Oh cool.
It is available already.

Z790-A D4 if you wanna keep using your RAM.
Be prepared for insane cooling. This CPU runs very hot. You should be getting good idle temps and wattage too.

Ddr5 is quite cheap. RM665. I think just direct go to ddr5 if buy now
CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 4800MHz C40 1.1V (Optimized for Intel DDR5 Motherboards, Onboard Voltage Regulation, XMP 3.0 Profiles, Aluminum Heatspreader) Black (CMK32GX5M2A4800C40) https://amzn.asia/d/cvK1nvu

What are your memory sticks temp while gaming on a heavy CPU title (Cyberpunk/God of War)? Got that exact same stick, tuned manually as 6400 doesn't run stable despite being on mobo QVL, no silicon luck here.
Mine can touch up to 55 with just heat spreader. So far no stability issues, but community experience on this is lacking unlike Samsung B-die.

Edit: To general, does Z790 come with the same locking mechanism? Bendgate issue with previous gen.
