Are issues with flashing the bios still a thing? Reviews from March still said it was an issue but want to confirm before buying

I would assume yes. Mine this year needed it. It was a learning experience for me (first time), but it was pretty quick and straightforward after a short Youtube tutorial, and it has worked flawlessly since the first time for 10 months now.

Can I install this in my ATX case? Just wondering EATX

Depends on the case. It easily fits my Corsair 7000X case but that is a full tower.

what does this mean?> LGA 1700 * Dedicated LGA1700 mounting bracket is required.

It means you need a cooler with a mounting bracket made specifically for LGA 1700.

is this gonna support raptor lake?

Yes, it might need a Bios update though.

Does this version have a thunderbolt 4 header?

No, this version does not have a Thunderbolt 4 header. It has 2 Thunderbolt add-in card connectors.

Can I fill all 4 ram slots or is that not recommended? I will be using Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (4 X 16GB) CMK32GX5M2B5600C36.

No the other two RAM slots are just there for decoration. They're not meant to be used.

Can I fill all 4 ram slots or is that not recommended? I will be using Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (4 X 16GB) CMK32GX5M2B5600C36

Yes, you can fill all 4 RAM slots, and the motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory. Your Corsair Vengeance 64GB (4 x 16GB) CMK32GX5M2B5600C36 will be compatible as it fits within the supported memory standards of DDR5 5600(OC).

Is this motherboard Windows 11 compatible? I D/L the manual and saw there is a TPM header.

Yes. Any Z690 motherboards including this one is Windows 11 ready as 12th gen CPUs would take advantage of it.
