Customer Reviews
Clean, easy build, this board rocks!
First ITX build, I found this board to be very well laid out, and easy build, love the fact I was able to use DDR4 with a Z690. I use a Noctua NH-U12S with a I7-12700K, no problem with clearance, flashed BIOs to latest, seems supper stable and blazingly fast, DDR4 4133 memory, Patriot Viper RGB DDR4 16GB(2 x 8GB) 4133MHz. Like the M2 slots and cooler. ITX rocks and so does ASRock.
