Asus Prime Z690-P D4 Desktop Motherboard - Intel Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - Intel Optane Memory Ready - ATX

Great motherboard. I love that it has 2 USB 3.2 headers. The only thing I wish it had, are USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C internal headers and external ports - I missed that when purchasing. Almost returned it, but found type A to type C adapters. Using the Ryzen 9 12 core CPU - works fine. On initial OS install, LAN was very unstable, till drivers and BIOS updates were done. Note: Because of the LAN issues, I had to download ASUS updates with another machine, then use a thumb drive to install the updates. After installing the updates, all functions are stable. Configuration: Windows 11 Pro ASUS Geforce Rtx 4080 GPU Samsung 2tb 980 NVME Silverstone 1000W PSU. WD 16tb hard drive. Build Notes: Not a motherboard issue - The Rtx 4080 GPU is sweet, but it is a beast. It takes 3 seperate PCIE power rails, and uses a special pigtail connector that comes off the top of the card. I know of no computer cases that will close, between the size of the card and the card's bulky adapter cable. The 4080 engineers needed to think that through and make a recession to facilitate the adapter, or put power connections on the end of the card. To solve this, a vertical mount was used. This works great, but, takes all expansion slots - Period. For this reason, a built in type C USB would be beneficial, to make external expansion more practical. In conclusion, so far I am very happy with this motherboard. ASUS has donea fine job.
