Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi (Thunderbolt 4) + i7-12700K + AMD RX 6800 XT

So more Gen 4 PCH lanes compared to Z690 and an additional USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Only 1 M.2 is supported from the CPU without splitting lanes from the X16 slot. Z790 does have better memory support but idk how much a difference would be with a Z690 with 13th Gen vs Z790 with 13th Gen

my impression is that in the motherboards where the number of M.2 disks is not increased from Z690, the PCIex 16x slots are now (with Z790) all indipendent, meaning they can work X16/X16 without any speed limitations. While in motherboards' layouts where there are up to 5 M.2 ports it goes from X116->x8/x8 like in Z690... but I'm sure about that yet.

I cannot see any advantage in DDr5-5600Mhz as also Z690 chipset can use them in OC mode.

Good Morning ...

My z690 arrived, I would like to know if there is any specific setup for BIOS, I tried to find it at the beginning of this topic, but I didn't find it.
Thanks

BTW .. a PciEx 5.0 x8 is equivalent to a PciEx 4.0 x16 in terms of bandwidth and speed? Just asking as all ours AMD RX6x00 are PCI 4.0 x16 while the 1st slot of Asus Z690 ProArt is PCI 5.0 ... just wondering.

So tempting! Who needs the Studio Display when this thing has:
  • 4K / 27"
  • MiniLED with 576 zones / Quantum Dot / HDR1000
  • 160Hz refresh
  • Brightness 600 nits (SDR) / 1200 nits (HDR)
  • Adobe RGB 99%, DCI-P3 98%
  • 4 video inputs (HDMI 2.1, DP, USB-C with 90W power delivery)
  • 2 downstream USB ports, 1 upstream (KVM)
  • Built-in speaker
  • $600 cheaper than Studio Display
  • And has (a) VESA mount, (b) Tilt, (c) Swivel, and (d) Height adjustment

Just my opinion:
  • Intel's Raptor Lake has too many E-cores
  • The ratio of P-cores to E-cores was tilted in favor of P-cores in Alder Lake
  • The ratio of P-cores to E-cores has tilted in favor of E-cores in Raptor Lake
  • Because macOS treats all of these cores as identical cores, statistically speaking many more of the tasks we perform will be handled by E-cores
In an operating system that is blind to the difference between P-cores and E-cores, macOS becomes E-core dominant with Raptor Lake.

Hi, can I ask if the build will work with an i9-12900K instead??

Yeah go for it! I think you’ll enjoy it, Alder Lake is a fast system.

Also just letting you know that if you choose a DDR5 based version of the Z690 instead of the DDR4 you’ll also see a significant boost to the performance figures in magnitude of like 25% more.

Not only that, but maybe if your budget allows you should consider going for Raptor Lake (which is now confirmed working on hackintosh) since it offers nearly double the performance on Alder Lake.
