Do some research first

Very nice and solid board, as of now
Installed
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB RAM DDR5 5600 Desktop Memory Model F5-5600J2834F32GX2-TZ5RK

Installing Win 11, during finish installation and when Win 11boots for first time it hangs at network. (on drivers on os for this board) I had to do some research on how to add the drivers so here is some info -

1-connect the little usb that came inside your z690 box, it comes with the drivers.
2- press Shift + F10 (a cmd pop up should appear)
3-in the cmd window type: explorer or explorer.exe
4- once the explorer is open go to your usb key and press the setup.exe
5- press auto install all motherboard drivers (u dont need to reboot)
6- once is done u will see the lan and wifi conections available for setting your account.
or
Alternate path: Disable Win11 Network Requirement

When at the "connect to network" page:
Shift + F10 to bring up CMD.
type: OOBE\BYPASSNRO
Hit enter.

The Windows11 installer should restart, but now won't require a network connection to finish.
then insert the usb drive and open explore and run setup.exe or manually apply drivers

The network controller driver is not on the usb provided, go to the intel website to download the driver for the wireless card you will need this if your doing wireless for finishing your install

That a slip of paper tape to the box on how to loadi the win 11 drivers, not sure if this applies to win 10 - maybe Newegg will do something like this when shipping . I suspect this might also apply to the Kingpin mother board as well

Hope this info helps some DIY out there

None

Problems with MB started from the very beginning.
1. I installed the GPU RX 580 8GB, it gives an error r6 and 5 beeping, but it works. I can only enter BIOS when the display is connected to the motherboard.
2. USB drive without additional power is not even recognized, the same device works fine on other computers.
3. EVGA Flow Control not working "Device not found"
