JJ does a great job or organizing and explaining the features and functions with just the right amount of detail for me to follow along. Extremely well done, thanks for posting this series of videos.
Such an intuitive layout! Keeping the EZ mode easy, and leaving the more advanced features off the main page. I also really appreciate how each section that you ran through almost illustrates an order of operations when setting up and getting familiar with a new BIOS. Ill bet it will save a lot of people a lot of headaches!
Thanks for the feedback, we have more ideas to further improve the UEFI in future versions. As always looking to help help users with their PCDIY experience.
Clear, useful and timely tutorial as I just bought that same motherboard. Would very much like to see a similar review of the advanced options.
Glad it was helpful!
Really clear guide, I learned so much from you. We need more like you for real!
Thank you JJ. Where can I find the advanced video mentioned in the end of this video?
Great video to check out before i install windows and make my pc bootable! thanks for the useful info
Glad you found it useful, best of luck with your build.
Update: I bought this board to run Linux. I installed Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04) and using the Linux 5.4 kernel. The onboard WiFi worked fine but NOT Bluetooth. I just updated to Linux Mint 21, newly released, and it DOES SUPPORT the onboard Bluetooth + WiFi. Win 11 also had the drivers for WiFi + BT.
Excellent video man! Really helped me learn the bios!
Those keycaps are amazing
Lets ggoooooo. Tip on the video fixed my issue thank you
Glad it helped, best of luck with your build!
Thank you JJ! I wasn't able to install Windows while Intel Rapid Storage was enabled. Shut it off, and it's purring like a kitten.
Side note, two IT Directors couldn't figure this out. They thought Windows was looking for the driver for my SSD. You may want to consider something to alert people this better.
No fkn way….I’ve asked every person I know that knows anything about computers for the past 4 days and no one knows anything. CHRISTOPHER, THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT I LOVE YOU ❤️💕😘
@@JH-go8xz Haha! You're so welcome. I know the frustration you must've endured. Side note, Asus customer service told, "the board must be bad. send it to us."
Cloning a ssd to nmve with Marcium when completed does boot order need to be changed in bios as primary boot device ? Great vid simple and easy to understand going from an lga 775 to this was a total shock .
Great Video!. On my case Activating XMP on an DDR5 6600 MHZ Dominator RAM made the system unusable :/ Blue Screen of Death once after the other... :/ Currently troubleshooting the issue with Corsair.. as the MemTest86 RAM test came all good.
Really clear tutorial Thanks a lot !!
Hello
I have some problems with Asus Z690-A. Can cause the motherboard to auto restart the computer when the table on which the computer rests is shaken? Auto restart happen when table shaken and immediately graphics crash about 10 sec and then auto restart.
Best regards
I watched full video
Very usefully
Thanks a lot, appreciate the view and support.
Very informative and well explained, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
how do i disable q-fan control? i have an aio and wanted to use software based fans and i wanted to disable q-fan altogether so there is no interference. any tips?
ASUS BIOS is the best
Thanks! we are biased but would agree.
Nice job JJ
Thank you! Hope you find it useful.
TY, Have 2 of this board.
Can I disable individual SATA ports with this motherboard. Thanks JJ.
I just need for installing different OS independently.
I traded my xbox for a gaming pc but hooked it up to my tv but it starts up but just reads boot options top left do i need a hard drive installed or should there be a screen to choose games or like a regular pc screen would show?
I have this setup but my cpu temp is at 88 degrees?! And fans are spin in high? Any idea why this is?
Installed windows on my old pc setup. After completing my new build and installing my 980 m.2 with windows installed and updated the new pc will not boot into windows from it and in bios I can’t even see it in the boot order
I tried to plug in both rams but it wont work only one ram stick any help?
would ya pls give link to the video of advanced setting and overclocking tut for this motherboard.
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it Best of luck with your build.
When I change the XMP profile to ENABLED and save, the pc reboots with just a black screen. The only way to get back the image is to reset the cmos from the back of the motherboard. Any way to overcome this?
Are you guys going to fix the xmp profile that doesn’t work on you D4 boards?
Why, in 3:05, appears Raid memory? I dont understand that topic. Could you explainme please?
how did you take a video of your bios? in good quality?
Mi bios se congela cuando quiero aceptar alguna modificacion y no responde mas.
might do this to just get virtualization for bluestacks if i gotta use bios for it
i built a new pc and keyboard is not derected,i tried ps 2 keybosrd and still cant enter bios,thered no windows yet
How do I get windows & install it to add to priority?
I have an m.2 that has all my windows info on it but it won’t let me choose it for boot priority. Is there a way for me to enable that?
What if Windows 12 doesn’t show up on the boot priority? It pops up on the information section, but I still can boot it
Is it better to leave X.M.P. Disabled or should i enable it? I Have 16 Gigs of Ram.
nice video
I installed my new motherboard an cpu an I’m stuck in this mode idk what to do
how did you registered AIO pump mine is not N/A
How do I Disable raid on my storages. It says all my storage devices are raid
I am having problem with this motherboard. Some games are bad for me. and I have ddr5 64gb of ram corsair dominator at 5600hz and when I only put 2 ram modules it improves a little it is those games that do not run well I activate xmp 1. and I feel that it is not giving the performance that should be so good the board takes a long time to initial . update the bios to the latest version 1702 I have an rtx 3080 and in some games it is not using 100% but I do run. with 2 ram modules it improves a little more but as you wish the graph does not exceed 58%
Thanks a million
Thank you! Hopefully you found it interesting and useful.
Hey Asus /JJ. I have a Z690 Hero & I'm woundering if I can install 64GB DDR5 5600 Mhz Trident Z ram in 4x16 sticks? Will there be any performance hits? Thank you in advance.
i bought the prime z690-A for a 13th gen i7 but i don't have any 12th gen to update bios nor Intel ME. Can i update first the bios, instal Windows on a HDD or other drive, then instal intel ME in Windows and then back again instal Windows on a NVME for the last time?
Hello, I'm new to building computers and am wondering if it's okay for my CPU core voltage to fluctuate between 1.296V and 1.320v?
I have a problem with my ProArt Z690 - Creator bios. I cannot boot from a disk that doesn't have an EFI-partition and I don't want to reformat my Ubuntu disks (quite recently installed) . In what video do you explain the secure boot and CSM settings? Under secure boot OS Type is set to other and there is not option to enable/disable secure boot, and CSM cannot be enabled. The whole region on that subject is grayed out and read only. I cannot even click on the dropdown box to see the options. How to disable UEFI boot or enable CSM? (Update) It seems that when you want to use the integrated graphics of the Intel cpu, which is sufficient for me, you are forced to use EFI boot! This is crazy! I don't want to buy a graphics card just for that. Nothing about that in the product manual of specs, which are normally used to design the pc you want to build.
How Can i configure in bios to use the onboard grahics card of motherboard?in z690-a motherboatd?
how to identify which Intel Rapid Storage Technology do i need to download?
I have this mobo with i9 12th gen cpu
Awesome! 🥰👌👏
Thank you! Cheers!
So if my aio pump is Na does that mean it’s not working?
Please help. I need to update the bios of Tuf z690 wifi ddr5, because I cannot boot my new build. But how do I flash the bios without having a button and having a boot or monitor signal?
At 4:24 your picture cuts... its says at the storage information RAID, theb switches to nvme. I have that issue that i dont know how to do that. Any advice?
What is your question? If you have issues consider reaching out to our service team or join our PCDIY group. The difference in the reading on the screen is resident to a different configuration which was not applicable at the point in the video.
The default is RST disabled so if you install a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD it will default to standard ( non RAID ) drive configuration.
Where is the video for the advanced section of the bios ?
It has not been released but you can join our PCDIY group for more questions. We will release an advanced version shortly.
How do you get baxk into eZ mode?
This is very useful but my motherboard is not even showing anything on the screen
How about 3rd party software that will let me change my 3 140mm front fans & motherboard logo lighting. I installed tha Amoury Crate software & it wrecked my sys. Having to do a complete reformat now to get rid of it all. I have a ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E WIFI board. The vid was great it might have solved my problem with getting my sys to boot into the Win10 DVD.
How do make sure WiFi is turned on because its not showing up in Windows 10😭 it is the rog z690 wifi f.
You need to ensure you installed the drivers for WiFi and connect the antenna.
My need is to tur off Case intrusion on asus rog strix z690-f wifi system wont boot up
good job!
Why would the fans/ aio pump not display the rpm? It only shows the cpu fan {which is part of the aim cooler} and yes they are all spinning
Depends on the design of your cooling solution if it uses a controller it will not display. The will only display if connected to the motherboard.
Hi JJ can you disclose from which motherboards "level" is the SP feature available, looks like TUF and "budget" D4 ones do not have it. Looks like the first one in the lineup that has this SP feature is the DDR5 one "ASUS Prime Z690-A"
SP rating is part of AiOC only AiOC enabled motherboard support this but the community uses this rating many times incorrectly it is part of an internal sampling of information alongside data that the board collects to determine the OC profile applied by AiOC.
I had issue with duel slot ram asus z690 tuf plus D4/ last bios cause freezing
my ssd doesnt show up in the boot priority section but it does in the storage info help pls
You need to install the OS, ensure you have created a partition and then formatted the volume. This can be done via the Windows installer.
if you have more questions reach out to our service and support team or consider joining our PCDIY group.
Best of luck with your build.
Can you please reach out to me and help me I’m stuck in the bios after upgrading my mother board plx help
Reach out to service and support for responsive support or join our ASUS PCDIY group for community support/feedback.
If you have updated your UEFI, once complete CLR CMOS and then load defaults ( F5 ) and you should be good to go assuming you completed the flash correctly and have no hardware issues.
My Mobo!!
Im having trouble finding how to install windows onto the m2 ssd. It shows up in the menu but when I boot from the flashdrive to try and install windows I get to the menu where it asks me where to install windows and no drives show up
Make sure you drive is correctly install and you do not have RST enabled, if you do you need to install RST driver first before the drive will be visible.
If you have more questions, reach out to our service team or join our ASUS PCDIY group.
Nice!
Seems very condensed although it visually pales a bit in comparison to these flashy new boards ;)
This is the difference between EZ mode and advanced mode, if you want all the options you can access the advanced mode interface. We will offer a overview and guide for that portion of the UEFI BIOS later.
@@ASUSUSA ah, alright!
Hi. Z690 takes toooooo long to boot. Is something we can do about it?
POST and BOOT can vary for many reasons and there is not much you can do to modify it as it is based on your hardware configuration ( including overclocks and number of USB devices connected as well as number of internal storage devices ). Ideally you want to ensure you are running an update to UEFI BIOS.
I have an Asus prime board with a 12900k and Corsair vengeance two sticks of ddr5. Whenever I enable xmp my PC will not boot. What is the issue? Thx
Ensure you have updated your UEFI and also ensure you have the memory installed in the correct slots, you also may want to read our DDR5 insights post in our PCDIY group to better understand if your issue is based on IMC variance as some users purchase kits without understanding the variance amongst IMCs that can affect support for higher MT kits.
Hey, i just bought the z690-A and i everytime it boots it goes automatically to bios, how do i change it to boot to the ssd?
Ensure you load UEFI defaults and then install the OS/Windows, once installed the default bootable device is the Windows boot loader. If you want to change the boot order this can be done in the UEFI.
I have an m2, i can use my user and play games;but some win10 archives get corrupted; so i need to i stall again win10, but the installer dont recognize it; and in the bios my m2 says Raid; hoy i change that; i have an asus prime b660m ad4
I hit save and exit putton many time, but they kept going back to the setting page. Do anyone know what wrong and how to solve it?
Once you clear your CMOS, press F5 on the keyboard and this will load UEFI BIOS defaults and then press F10 this will save and exit. If you have more questions please reach out to our service and support team or join our PCDIY group.
I can't get this board to recognize ram dimms a1 and b1 how can I get this to work
Correct primary channels are A2 and B2 as noted in the manual if you are having issues reach out to our service and support and also ensure you have not damaged the pins in your socket.
Hero z690 board with 12900k and 3090. Error code 97 on startup. Works fine with 1080. Was told board won't work with m.2 card and 30 series graphics card? Is this true?
All of our Z690 boards support M.2 and are fully compatible with M.2 based SSDs. All 12th gen CPUs offer a dedicated set of PCIe lane to also allow for full x16 PCIe link speed even with the M.2 SSD installed.
If you have more issue you should consider joining our PCDIY group or reach out to our service and support team.
Every time I start or restart my computer always enter to UEFI, how can I bypass that to fast boot up and start direct to Win?
I looked around but didn't find anything, please help.
Thx
You have other issues present causing this and need to debug your system it could be due to an overclock or incorrectly installed component. You should reset your UEFI to defaults and verify the installation of your components.
By default once saved the system will automatically POST and then BOOT to the Windows Boot Loader if present.
Been having an issue with error code d6. I have replaced just about every component besides the motherboard now. I've tried 3 different pairs of memory and at first I thought it was a gpu problem and I sent it back for rma. They said there was no issues and I ended up replacing it with a 3080ti. It boots fine without the gpu but seems unlikely gpu is the source of the error.
Any recommendations for this error?

1. Load UEFI defaults and confirm f you can duplicate your issue at full F5 defaults
2. If you are using a riser remove the riser cable, also ensure all your drivers are fully seated if using M.2 SSDs and consider removing other drives and only having 1 for testing.
Once you load UEFI defaults run a stability test like OCCT on each core component. Also consider with high-end GPUs you can have issues, especially at POST with peak transient power draw, and may need to change/upgrade your PSU. The current PSU you are using is not ideal for your high-end configuration.
Good luck with your build.
i worked so hard to get my BIOS tweaked right and i notice there is a newer BIOS available on your website, should I update the BIOS, and if so, will I lose all my settings? (ROG STRIX "E" z690 ddr5 w/12900K)......I will be putting in the 13900K into that same mobo once it arrives. Or should i not update the BIOS? my G-Skill 6000Mhz RAM acted funny when i first built this PC, the MOBO kept wanting to use 4800 as the speed of the RAM, and I would get some instability if I tried to set the MOBO to 6000MHz, , what speed should I use for that DDR5 G-Skill RGB 6000Mhz DDR5 RAM? Thank you SO much for all you do!!!
4800 is normal as that is the default, you will only run 6000MT if you enable XMP and applicable to two DIMMs.
You do not need to update the UEFI BIOS unless you upgrade to 13th Gen which is you do the update is required and will reset all of your UEFI parameters.
If you have more questions join our PCDIY group or reach out to our service and support team.
In regards to speed it is up to you based on performance you want and use case and budget. 6000MT is a good target but is conservative for overclocking on 13th Gen series CPUs.
@@ASUSUSA Thank you very much, I reached out to ASUS support tonight and had a lot of success with them. 1st tech I worked with got me from the 4800 to a stable 6000 using the XMP-1 profile (which modified about 6 to 7 settings automatically thankfully) and is very stable and I could tell a difference in speed due to some screen tearing being eliminated in my game. Next we put the 12900K from Normal to AI Optimized in the EZ settings because i was noticing I was at 4900GHz. Now when I go into BIOS it says OVERCLOCKED 68% right below the ROG Strix logo splash screen, and is also stable and really helped my speed up to 5100GHz showing in BIOS and 5200GHz showing in Task Manager. 2nd Tech helped me update the BIOS, it did lose settings (they thought it would not, but you were right !!). I think I'm all good other than i can't run W11 because MSFS-2020 doesn't get along with it with my setup - I get CTD's. ASUS Rocks and thanks again for your help and direction !!
My bios is not recognizing my nvme. What should I do?
Ensure you have physically installed it correctly and check you manual as depending on the slot you may not see the drive listed. For instance if looking at storage listing which show only SATA it will not show a PCIe NVMe based SSD you would need to go to the sub field to see PCIe NVMe storage devices.
Once you complete a Windows installation then the drive will be registered under a bootable volume.
convincing datas.
How do I increase the memory allocated to Intel UHD Graphics 770? I
don't have a dedicated video card: i5-12600k, Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS
D4, 2 * 16Gb DDR4 3600Mhz Corsair. Thanks!
Generally adjusting the memory allocation is not going to make a considerable difference in gaming performance. That being noted you can find the option in the advanced section of the UEFI BIOS - ASUS DVMT - System Agent Graphics Configuration.
I'm still looking for an option to disable the raid controller in the advanced mode. Z690A D4 Wifi.
Just disable RST, once you have this you may need to secure erase your drives. If you have more issues reach out to our support team. Best of luck with the build.
I just upgraded my CPU, which in turn made me upgrade my motherboard. I'm using a B560-PLUS.
The "issue" I've been having is that I cannot enable Intel RST. If I do, Windows never boots and I'm stuck in a boot loop until I disable IRST. I know IRST is not necessary, but I had it enabled before my upgrade and I am just wondering why I can't enable it anymore.
Any ideas what might be the issue?
You cannot enable RST after the fact, you would need to have installed Windows with RST as the operating protocol for your storage device and installed the corresponding driver during Windows installation.
@@ASUSUSA Thanks a lot for the reply.
However this wouldn't really apply to my case, given that before my upgrade I already had Windows installed and IRST was running.
It was until after my component upgrade that I cannot get IRST to run, even though it was running before the upgrade. When I entered the BIOS for the new motherboard, IRST was now disabled, and if I try to enable it, Windows never gets to boot.
Worth to mention that Windows is still booting from the same disk as it has always been. I didn't do a new Windows installation.
on the Z690 and windows 11. I am having the strangest issues with using a nvme raid zero with a mellanox connect-x 3 network adapter. I think it is with the PCI power management but I am not sure what is going on.
This is a non traditional config you should reach out to service and support for both your add in card and ASUS to report and attempt to debug. You may also want to see if you can duplicate your issue without RAID. It is unlikely it is related to power management and more like resource allocation or the ROM of the add in card.
If you have not also update your UEFI and your MEI firmware but keep in mind software RAIDs are not ideal for general users and if the PCH firmware is update your volume will not be bootable.
@@ASUSUSA Thank you for replaying so quickly. I learned this the hard way I thought I would be able to carry over my raid from the z370 to the z690 super easily (after a tumultuous raid-0 data recovery I am set up with the intel VMD thing.
why asus 12v 5v and 3v are allways low across all their products.
I'm such a fkn idot that or so new to the pc realm I was wondering why when I went into advanced mode and then ai tweaker and set the ram to 3600mhz some games would crash I guess I wasn't enabling xmp well I did it this way and the crashing stopped so it seems always wondered why it said xmp disabled but yet task manager Said it was running all 4 dims and 3600mhz
How do I change display priority in BIOS? I want the DVI port on my video card to be main video output.
You cannot do that as your video has a pre defined primary display output wired into it's VBIOS. You can only set whether the motherboard defaults to onboard graphics or discrete graphics.
@@ASUSUSA strange though 'cause I bought new hardware, including the (ASUS) motherboard, but I kept me old video card and the primary output on the old board was DVI and now it's HDMI. In short, different primary output, same card, but different board 🤷
Is it normal the long boot time ( about 50 seconde ) on the asus z690 prime A
I had two and they both have the same probleme..
Long(er) post time is normal especially if you are running higher memory density and or overclocks and have a number of used buses. For the fastest POST you should ensure your system is set up in non CSM mode beyond this you can test if some USB or storage devices may be affecting your POST by removing those devices.
Why don’t you make a solid BIOS update?? My ROG Strix Z690-A Gamin WI-FI D4 can’t be stable with XMP profiles. REALLY would be nice since I was very excited to go from MSI motherboards to ASUS, yet it has literally been nothing but trouble. Every time I enable XMP, it’s stuck in a boot loop, constantly restarting in the middle of POST.
Same issue on my Prime Z690-p d4
@@LucCodeZ Exactly. ASUS has had awesome and top notch boards & BIOS over the last few generations, yet they are COMPLETELY ignoring the loads of stability issues regarding their Z690 boards, released 4 BIOS updates for the ROG Strix Z690-A yet it still is not stable. All the update version list "System Improvements & Memory Stability" yet not a single one can even get past POST when having XMP I or II enabled.
I managed to get it running on XMP 1. Although just with 2 DIMMs. In other cases for people it seemed to help setting the dram settings manually to the desired speed and latency.
@@LucCodeZ Are you on their latest BIOS version? I'm in a boot loop/constant restarting and not able to get through post when having either XMP profile applied. I haven't tried manual, and setting the speed & timings & voltage manually. Although XMP just sets it at what I would set it. I'll give that a shot and see.
The UEFI is very solid, mature for DDR. Considering email support with more details or join or PCDIY group.
In most cases issues with XMP are due to
1. kit mis configuration and mis application of XMP ( trying to use a 2 DIMM profile on 4 DIMMs )
2. lack of understanding of memory divider "holes" that exist as part of the platform and defined by MRC/IMC, this commonly occurs when users try to manually set gear ratios and use XMP
3. lack of understanding limitations of IMC relative to rank/density and frequency. An example is not all CPUs will support X frequencies in 4 DIMMs vs 2 DIMMs. This is type of issue increases as you scale up memory frequencies and fine that less CPUs can support operating at X frequencies.
At 6:51 you mentioned I have a $4K paperweight
I need help
finally was able to get it working ok, no help from YOU though...
My new build PC was for Win 11 pro and it wont install because of a security issue that My PC should not have. NO HELP from Microsoft
Is there QVL (Qualified Vendor List) for the Asus Z690-E for 4x32GB DDR5? I can only find 2x32GB DDR5 for the QVL.
There is no QVL for 4 DIMM as there is no 4 DIMM XMP kit, it is possible but you will need to manually tune it yourself, watch our latest live stream for more information on 4 DIMM memory configurations.

Can anyone tell me where the option to enable integrated graphics is in the BIOS? I have my primary monitor hooked up via HDMI to my graphics card and that works fine, but my secondary monitor is hooked up via HDMI directly to the motherboard and it is not being recognized.
does your monitors offer a daisy chain? where you can just go from monitor to monitor with a display or hdmi?
How do I enable the Hyper m.2 in BIOS?
It is detailed in the manual, you will need to enter into CPU storage information and change the slot operating behavior. You also ensure you have it installed in the correct slot.

if BIOS is detecting my ssd but windows is not how can I fix this to install windows onto my pc ?
You need to initialize and partition/format your drive. You should have these options when you boot into the Windows installer. If you are having issue consider reaching out to our service and support team.
@@ASUSUSA i did reach out to the support team and they offered very simple troubleshooting help. i downloaded the SATA software on the asus support page and had to find the file to update it so windows could recognize my m.2 ssd. I wasn't ecstatic about the help i received but luckily I used critical thinking otherwise they wanted me to send in my entire motherboard after ive already installed it onto my case and connected all my wires and even mounted my heat sync and fan. Thank you for the advice but i ended up figuring it out. I did not have the option to partition because windows wouldnt recognize the ssd in the first place because it didnt have the most recent update.
why i cant enable XMP, i have ddr5 6000mhz memory and they only work 4500mhz, if i turn on xmp windows dont start, starts in the bios again and again, can someone have the solution?
It is most likely due to you having a mixed kit, you can only potentially run 6000MT in 2 DIMM configurations.
You should update your UEFI, load UEFI defaults, test your memory via the integrated test tool and then if it passes proceed to enable XMP with 2 DIMMs. If it still fails it is more likely due to the IMC being limited so you should drop the memory divider and target a lower value like 5800/5600.
If you want more guidance join our PCDIY group.
AI Overclocking feature does not seem to have any impact on my Z690 Prime D4
AiOC is not offered on -P model. You only have access to the basic OC which is moderate in its adjustment values.
You can check these values via using Intel XTU and compare the values before/after.
You can use a comparative benchmark to check performance ( Cinebench, Geekbench, Browser Bench )
