I always go for ASUS motherboards as they've been my main bread and butter i won't lie the BIOS is a lot clearer but honestly after a ton of issues between AMD and intel boards as of late with ASUS i went with MSI and put all my components in my new DDR5 RAM and had 0 issues in stark contrast to a Z690 Asus board i bought and would not recognise the ram even though it was supported and had constant resets and LED's lighting up like a Christmas tree
So I did have an ASUS Z690 motherboard but constantly had issues with it usually always go with ASUS as in the past they have been a reliable source but have switched to MSI and the BIOS might not be simple in comparison but overall massive amount of features and really solid performance with a 12700K
Good looking motherboard with plenty of features. Easy to install and I especially like the 5x M.2 slots! Worth the buy.
