great video i just bought a new motherboard to support my i7 12700k. its been a while since i built my pc and this video was a nice refresh on all the connections on the motherboard. thank you for making it 10/10
Monitor, keyboard and mouse nothing working I bought a pre build pc and it was working but in transit must have happened something. Now it's mouse, keyboard and monitor not working.
Great video but ive got a question. I have the exact same board, an i7 12700K, 2x8GB Corsair 3000MHz sticks and after enabling the XMP to 3000, it does change it, BUT, on the top left side of the bios (DRAM Status) the A2 and B2 DIMM Channels still show 2133. However, just above that (Information section) it shows 3000 and also on the right side of the screen (All this in the BIOS). In Windows, both the Task Manager and CPUID show the speed at 3000. Any idea why the BIOS shows 3000 in the Information area and on the right hand side, but 2133 next to the DIMM Channels DRAM Status area? Thanks
so, if I'm getting ti correctly, you got some DDR4 3200 modules but they are limited to 2133Mhz for not enabling XMP? thx for the vid btw, pretty complete.
The 2133Mhz speed is just the default speed the board is set to, but can be changed using XMP or manually changing the frequency in the Advanced settings. Thanks and glad you found the video useful!
It basically means you can plug a hard drive to the board and be able to install Windows 11 on it. It's more of a marketing thing just to inform and advertise that this board won't have any issues with any Windows 11 requirements.
Once the CPU and memory are installed, you can boot up your machine and head directly into the BIOS. Drivers only need to be installed after you install your operating system.
There are 3 system fan connections, plus 2 fan connections dedicated for CPU cooling (which are traditionally also fan connections). There is also an additional connector for PUMP, which can also power a fan. So in total: 6 fans.
Hello! Can you tell me, does your motherboard emit a squeak / whistle / whine in the VRM area (near the video card) under load? In simple words, coil whine. The whine is quite noticeable, it changes tone depending on the load, it is especially clearly noticeable when you start "heavy" games...
Hello, i know you said that it was in the vrm area but if you have a harddrive it could absolut be that. But like you said it comes from the vrm and if you are overclocked with alot of voltage setup then its probably fine, if not overclocked i would say its fine too because the electric components are all the same but they are still made different. If the motherboard still works great and makes noises to this day then its fine
It definitely is and I will be showing that more in detail in future videos, like my most recent one. The disadvantage is the case I used here only has a power switch and power LED connectors.
Those screws come with the particular PC case you have. They are pretty generic and are probably available at Home Depot and other computer cases as well.
I guess I have to read the manual lol. Doing a 12900k with DDR5. I waited until DDR5 dropped a touch and jumped on some. My build stagnated because of how expensive things are. Reusing an RTX 2070 from my current rig. GPU’s are too expensive.
DDR5 prices were really nuts some months and though they have come down a little, still somewhat expensive for even 32GB, which is why I opted to review the DDR4 versions. I know the feeling of re-using video cards, I'm still using a 980 TI for test rigs, as you may have noticed in this video. I am seeing prices coming down though, which is good news.
You definitely can use 4x chips that add up to the total GB you'd like and they will run in dual channel mode. However, whenever possible, using the higher capacity chips is preferred. I do have systems that use all 4 DIMM slots though.
I ordered this same motherboard, but one of the rgb fans (at 7:52), had a bent pin, probablemente from shipping. Can these type of things be fix (not really gonna be using it) or should I send it back for replacement?
If the fan itself had a bent blade, that's definitely a big issue and you should have it replaced. If the motherboard fan pins have pins that are bent, you can possibly bend these back yourself using a little needle-nose or even your fingers. However, if it looks really bent or damaged, suggest you set up a replacement, since something else may have physically been damaged that hasn't been noticed yet.
@@chrislee6650 ah I got the RGB black version. But luckily I was able to get the lga 1700 accessories that make the older cooler compatible, so it should be alright.
@@nolanschotanus2769 if you are planing to overclock in the future then you would need to uppgrade your cooler. If you are going with air then i would strongly recommend noctuas tower coolers. If you want water cooling then i would recommend cooler master, corsair and nzxt
Any RGB options the board may have, or to control the connections already on the board for RGB lighting can be controlled with the Aura software from ASUS.
Trying to finish setting up with windows 11, it pulls up the wifi page and says I need it to finish setting up windows, all it shows is Ethernet, not connected. I don’t know what to do. Please help
Microcenter has these in a bundle deal with purchase of 12th gen alder lakes 12600k and up. My local one only had the non wifi version of these available which I picked up along with a 12600k, couple things for people to note, make sure everything is in the box!!!, mine was missing an i/o shield which i didn't notice until later. Also with my 12600k I was getting constant freezing which required hard resets, after some searching found C states power setting enabled in the bios which after disabling has been stable over a week of operating non stop. Still have a lingering USB issue where xfer speed is limited to about 3-5 mb/sec. To be honest if microcenter didnt have this for 50 bucks as parts of a combo deal i wouldnt have bothered. Ive built Gigabyte systems for 20 years and never had any issues so im partial to them, my experience so far with this asus although stable currently I wouldnt buy another asus product.
Sorry to hear about the experience. Did MC mention if any of these products from this bundle were previously returned or "open-box"? With an item missing and an odd BIOS change left, sounds like it was previously used before. I've personally enjoyed testing out recent ASUS boards, but my last unfortunate experience was back in the AMD AM3+ days. I'll be testing some new Ryzen b650 & x670 boards from ASUS soon, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Is bios update needed to clean install win11. I'm not sure how to update bios if it's a necessary step. My old mobo died but had a m.2 nvme with win10, and was unable to backup data before it died. Is there a way to retrieve that before installing win11.
Since the z690 chipset was introduced shortly after Windows 11 officially came out, no BIOS update is needed for support, but is recommended for other reasons. You can definitely recover the data on the m.2 drive by moving it over to another board that has access to a boot drive already and you can copy any files you need of it by using the m.2 as a secondary drive. It's not recommended to just install Windows 11 over the previous installation before having access to your files beforehand. Let me know if you need any suggestions in order to make this work.
How do I get the WiFi adapter to work? New to using a wireless adapter like this. Have screwed it into the Mobo but not sure how to get it to show in windows
Actually have seen this question a few times and looks like ASUS has the WIFI disabled by default in the BIOS. Please go into the BIOS and enable the WIFI module and reboot. You can then go ahead and install the drivers for the WIFI in Windows. Let me know if it works out for you!
How many leds, like the normal ones, are there in the motherboard that we can't turn off? It's for a quiet htpc build. So it will be used in dark without a case.
When installing the ram the piece that clips over the small indent on both sides of the ram should fully close correct? I can still see a small gap in the middle of the ram and where its supposed to sit in the middle of the socket, I want to push harder, but i feel like I have to push as hard when I closed down the lever on the CPU, which felt like a lot of pressure
I am mainly talking about the side that you cant see in the video, the part of the ram locking mechanism that isnt fixed (you can tilt it down) during installation. It seems like you would need to put it back in its original position? @silencetechandtravel
Both clip pieces usually if not, all of the time, close on their own when the memory chips are installed. In this board's case, only one side should clip down automatically when installed. If you're having trouble with yours, may want to be sure they are installed correctly, as the middle gap portion will give you that indication if it doesn't line up correctly with the slot itself. Are you using the DDR4 or DDR5 version of this board? The CPU cooler definitely does feel like a lot of pressure when it is locked down. Just double check to see your CPU is installed correctly beforehand, though you wouldn't be able to close down the metal brackets from the board if it was wrong.
Once you push down on the memory from above, you should hear the "click" sound from the side that isn't fixed. It shouldn't take much pressure at all, and if you're finding yourself using too much without any success, then the chip may be installed wrong, or you may have DDR4/DDR5 being installed on a different board it's made for.
Windows 11 shouldn't have any issue running on this motherboard. Being that this motherboard and CPU is pretty modern and up to date, the next version of Windows should be able to run, but this is of course too soon for any confirmation.
Trying to decide between this and the Tuf Gaming board but I can't find what audio codec the Prime Z690-P uses anywhere. Anyone know what codec it is? It's like ASUS is trying hide it for some reason...
Hey did you fix this issue? Building my pc currently and I’ve been stuck on the wifi page for windows 11. It just says no Ethernet connection. I have no clue what to do
The Prime Z690-A appears to be a higher tier motherboard, but also uses DDR5. Is there any chance to exchange or return the board you bought and instead get the one you would like?
@@Silent157 I dunno... seems like steam community talked me out of it that it would be pointless to upgrade my i7 8700k with the 1141 A-type motherboard I own already. DDR5 is expensive and should of been released years ago. Its ridiculous!
DDR5 is beyond the adjective of expensive seeing how much it is per GB, which is why I used the DD4 variants of the motherboards. The fact that motherboard brands made their boards DD4 an option on some boards (including this one) shows how bad the pricing on DDR5 really is.
@@Silent157 So which Asus DDR4 motherboard do you recommend me to get if I refund the Z690-P motherboard??? I dont want something that is low end and is good for the i7 12700k. Any recommendations?!
Good question. This is mostly a motherboard review and while there is a short building PC process regarding the motherboard itself, it's not a video on how to build a PC and the whole process would add another 20-30min into the video. I definitely do have videos on building PCs and plan to release more, but wanted to keep this video almost entirely about the motherboard and it's BIOS. Newer videos have longer segments on the build process, though still trying to keep them somewhat short.
There are connectors on the board that will allow you to connect RGB lights and control them with the AURA software. There are two in the lower right corner.
Hi my daughter bought her pc with Asus prime H410M-E mother board last Sunday, and she tried to install W10 however, whenever she tried to install it, the screen shows "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key, she tried to press crtl alt delete, and keeps on going back to Uefi/bios screen, may I ask what she needs to do to install w10? Did she need to configure something in her mother board? Thank you in advance.
I’d just install windows 10 on a usb from a working computer. After that put it in the the computer you want windows 10. Than it should automatically boot that usb on start up and start to install
This may be a dumb question but im building my first pc and I dont know what screws to use to actually screw in the motherboard. It also doesn't come with any. Can somebody help me out
You definitely can, but the limit but also keep in mind the number of PCI lanes your particular processor has and if you may hit any bottle-necking or reduction in performance by having your video card and all M.2 slots on use. You also may see some of your SATA ports disabled as well. The manual mentions if this will happen and also which ports in particular would be disabled.
@@Silent157 Oh damn. I will be running 12600kf on this mobo. I have planned to run 3x ssd m.2 +1hdd. Looking at the motherboard manual, all I can understand is that there is 16x PCIE CPU slot that GPU will utilize whole, then there's 4x CPU slot and two more m.2 (M.2_2 and M.2_3) that utilizes chipset's PCI lanes. That's how id reads for me at least. Following this logic, there shouldn't be any bottlenecking. Or am I missing something? Edit: or if it will bottleneck, is it possible to keep GPU untouched? I don't mind that much SSD's being bottlenecked. They were cheaper than Sata alternatives when i bought them anyway.
I don't see any reason why 4 cards wouldn't work, even if one card was PCI-E x1. You may be able to use video cards intended for workstation setups (like a Quadro 450 or better) that offer 4x DP slots, which will require less video cards being used. Once done, 8 monitor setups shouldn't be ab issue, and definitely have seen it done.
This motherboard does have built-in WIFI inside. You'll have to connect the external antenna to the rear of the motherboard, near where all the USB ports are, and then ensure that the WIFI option is activated within the BIOS, which by default it is. Then just install your driver within Windows, and you'll all set with WIFI!
Having huge issues with this board. I keep getting ram error indication by the power LED constantly blinking. This isnt even covered in the manual. Saw it on the Asus website and the Amazon page for the board. I have checked it against working hardware to no avail. Specs i5 12600KF, Z690-p D4 Wifi, RM 750x PSU, Crucial basllistics 16-16-18 3200 2x16g, Asus RTX 3060ti KO any help on this issue would be huge!!!!
The M.2 shouldn't be angled, so the little standoff should be used here. I can't see an issue of it staying at an angle, though definitely not ideal and not recommended.
great video i just bought a new motherboard to support my i7 12700k. its been a while since i built my pc and this video was a nice refresh on all the connections on the motherboard. thank you for making it 10/10
You're absolutely welcome and really glad to hear it assisted you. Hope the build goes well and let me know if you have any further questions.
Just made a new system with this board. So far everything is perfect. Great board...
Definitely is a solid board to have reviewed and glad to hear your build is working out really well!
does the board come with wifi and blutooth connectivity or do I need to buy another chip?
Thank you! There is also a 3rd M2 slot as well BTW :)

There are multiple M.2 slots available, as well as the SATA ports, where you can plug in a SATA hard drive/SSD.

is written on the box windows 11 ready, is that mean that motherboard has preinstalled windows 11 or what?
It basically means you can plug a hard drive to the board and be able to install Windows 11 on it. It's more of a marketing thing just to inform and advertise that this board won't have any issues with any Windows 11 requirements.
What power supply did you use?
It's a Seasonic Platinum 550watt power supply
I have a question, before u go to the bios do you have to install anything? Or it is ready to go? Witch and where can i find the drivers to install?
Once the CPU and memory are installed, you can boot up your machine and head directly into the BIOS. Drivers only need to be installed after you install your operating system.
Can't get windows 11 installed on this no matter what I do. It always stays in the bios.
How many fans could you connect to it? And are you still able to use windows 10?

Hi my daughter bought her pc with Asus prime H410M-E mother board last Sunday, and she tried to install W10 however, whenever she tried to install it, the screen shows "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key, she tried to press crtl alt delete, and keeps on going back to Uefi/bios screen, may I ask what she needs to do to install w10? Did she need to configure something in her mother board? Thank you in advance.
I’d just install windows 10 on a usb from a working computer. After that put it in the the computer you want windows 10. Than it should automatically boot that usb on start up and start to install
can you use windows 10 with this board?
Absolutely, and drivers for both Win 10 and Win 11 are all available on their site, as well as boards from other brands.
This may be a dumb question but im building my first pc and I dont know what screws to use to actually screw in the motherboard. It also doesn't come with any. Can somebody help me out
Screws can be identified with the manual that comes with the case usually, and the MBD screws are the ones you want to use.
Can you use three m.2 SSDs on this motherboard?
You definitely can, but the limit but also keep in mind the number of PCI lanes your particular processor has and if you may hit any bottle-necking or reduction in performance by having your video card and all M.2 slots on use. You also may see some of your SATA ports disabled as well. The manual mentions if this will happen and also which ports in particular would be disabled.
@@Silent157 Oh damn. I will be running 12600kf on this mobo. I have planned to run 3x ssd m.2 +1hdd. Looking at the motherboard manual, all I can understand is that there is 16x PCIE CPU slot that GPU will utilize whole, then there's 4x CPU slot and two more m.2 (M.2_2 and M.2_3) that utilizes chipset's PCI lanes. That's how id reads for me at least. Following this logic, there shouldn't be any bottlenecking. Or am I missing something?
Edit: or if it will bottleneck, is it possible to keep GPU untouched? I don't mind that much SSD's being bottlenecked. They were cheaper than Sata alternatives when i bought them anyway.
does my i5 9400f work on this board im thinking of ordering it
No I believe it will not.
The CPU you mentioned is a different socket than the one this motherboard has, so the CPU will not work in this case.
I have the exact same board, there was no wifi antenna in the box
Update: Mine is the z90 p d4 not the wifi d4. Mine has the port to connect it, just doesn't come with the antenna
I see. That model doesn't have an onboard wifi/bluetooth in this case.
Can you tell me why you chose i3 prosessor?
I chose a CPU just to use for reviewing motherboards in this case.
Hi sir
Can this match with i5 12400f
Did you ever pair it ? I’m currently going to build a rtx3060ti , this motherboard, i5 12400f and western blue 1tb ssd nvme 2
Definitely yes.
Can I connect 4 graphics card in this to get 8 display out. Or can you recommend any other motherboard or graphics cards to get 8 display output
I don't see any reason why 4 cards wouldn't work, even if one card was PCI-E x1. You may be able to use video cards intended for workstation setups (like a Quadro 450 or better) that offer 4x DP slots, which will require less video cards being used. Once done, 8 monitor setups shouldn't be ab issue, and definitely have seen it done.
Is it posible to disable the wifi in bios? thx
There is an option to go ahead and disable the WIFI module within the BIOS. By default, it is usually set to be disabled.
@@Silent157 thank you
Can this motherboard run higher OC clock speeds of DDR4 4000+?
I think the maximum ram speed on the motherboard is 5133Mhz
Does it come with a wifi card? Also how do you set up the wifi?
This motherboard does have built-in WIFI inside. You'll have to connect the external antenna to the rear of the motherboard, near where all the USB ports are, and then ensure that the WIFI option is activated within the BIOS, which by default it is. Then just install your driver within Windows, and you'll all set with WIFI!
Is the i912900k really too much for this board?
Some would recommend a more higher range motherboard for that CPU, due to the better options you may have, especially if overlocking it.
Having huge issues with this board. I keep getting ram error indication by the power LED constantly blinking. This isnt even covered in the manual. Saw it on the Asus website and the Amazon page for the board. I have checked it against working hardware to no avail. Specs i5 12600KF, Z690-p D4 Wifi, RM 750x PSU, Crucial basllistics 16-16-18 3200 2x16g, Asus RTX 3060ti KO any help on this issue would be huge!!!!
Did you fix it?
@@djohnson465 eneded up having to buy a 12600k for the build, stuck with an extra processor
@@djohnson465 fixed/not fixed
@@chrislee6650 nope board not compatible with kf processors only k
@@unadultratedtrini wrong it is compatible your kf processor was faulty
Do i need to use the extra standoffs included when installing a single m.2 ssd? Not sure if supposed to be screwed down at angle
The M.2 shouldn't be angled, so the little standoff should be used here. I can't see an issue of it staying at an angle, though definitely not ideal and not recommended.
@@Silent157 fits perfect with the standoff installed.
