ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI Review
As a computer hardware enthusiast, I get really excited when new hardware launches as it is fun to dive into what makes the new components different from the previous generation and, the past two years have been a flurry of change. In April of 2020 we welcomed the launch of Comet Lake and the Z490 chipset. This was a pretty big launch as it marked the end of the HEDT processor along with an increase of processor cores for the smaller mainstream package. Then, about a year later we get the launch of Rocket Lake. While most enthusiasts discredited this
processor it brought PCI Express 4.0 to the Intel platform and dropped a few cores from the Core i9. Overall it was pretty much a clone of Comet Lake.
Not more than 6 months after the launch of Rocket Lake we are presented with what might be one of the most impressive processors I have ever seen. Of course, with a new processor we naturally are presented with a new chipset along with a complete refresh of
motherboards to compliment every segment of the market.
In this review we will be looking at the ASUS STRIX Z690-E Gaming WiFi from Republic of Gamers. As the name suggests this motherboard is built on the new Z690 chipset supporting a new generation of 12th edition processors from Intel, code named Alder Lake. The new
processor features a larger socket design, new heatsink mounting position, new memory support and comes with PCI Express 5.0.
All of those things translate into massive jumps in theoretical performance. Some of these cannot be properly tested until supporting hardware is released whle others are dressed to impresss and will smack down the rest.
ASUS ROG STRIX Z690 Series Motherboard in Bangladesh 2022
It's clear that ASUS has put most of the focus on users planning to buy DDR5 memory for Alder Lake, but it does have a small selection of DDR4 supported Z690 models. The most premium of these is the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WIFI D4 with a Wi-Fi 6 CNVi, USB 3.2 G2x2 Type-C support, four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, as well as a premium SupremeFX ALC4080 HD audio codec and Savitech amplifier pairing for the onboard audio. Its TUF Gaming series occupies the mid-range with a model with WIFI and without, but with four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2, and dual Type-C connectivity on the rear panel (3.2 G2x2 & G2).
Operating as mid-range and entry-level models is the Prime series, with the Z690-P WIFI D4 offering Wi-Fi 6, or without this for a slightly cheaper price. ASUS doesn't have any DDR4 enabled Z690 models in mini-ITX, but for users looking to build a smaller system with Alder Lake and DDR4, the ASUS Prime Z690M Plus D4 offers three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, four SATA, and support for DDR4-5333 memory out of the box.
