Pros: Inexpensive Z690, good amount of fan headers for my uses, USB-C port, easy install, tolerates overclocking 12700k

Cons: Gskill RAM compatibility issues, USB flash drive doesn't recognize on one of two chassis USB ports, wish it had displayport out

Overall Review: This review is for the ASrock rebate program. My last review was apparently never published or got deleted, but it says I reviewed it already though my review isn't visible :\ Board seems stable with F4-4000C18D-32GVK @ 3800mhz RAM, but consistently unstable @ 4000mhz with random BSODs and stalling on opening programs or bench/stress testing. Same RAM was used in 10700KF PC @ 4000mhz stable, so it's likely a motherboard compatibility issue. Also one of my USB3 drives doesn't recognize one of PC case chassis ports, while all other devices do. This was not an issue with the previous build I9900k, Asrock Z390 taichi ultimate, so probably another minor compatibility issue. Everything else works fine. Overclocked 12700k air cooling Noctua NH-D15 to 5ghz all P cores, reaches ~90C by about 60 seconds but 100% stable. Doesn't break 70C at stock settings with same setup. BSOD's occurred only with RAM @ 4000mhz as rated, whether CPU was overclocked or not (tested). I'm satisfied with the motherboard (especially for the price), but I'd pay more attention to RAM compatibility in the future.

Pros: Good while it lasts, fast, works well...for a while

Cons: Malfunctioned due to failing usb3 internal connection

Overall Review: After about 5-6 months, the card reader's USB3.0 port inside the unit has become loose and does not make consistent connection anymore. In order to get it to function, I have to apply downward pressure on the cable while it is attached to the unit. The cable is fine, the unit is having an internal connection fault. I also noticed that the board internally seems to be mobile forward and backward. If you want yours to last, never unplug the USB cord from the unit itself.

Pros: No complications; adequate/good power phase count; plenty of fan/etc. headers; doesn't look cluttered; very good value for money

Cons: 1x USB C might be nice; additional m.2 heatsinks would be useful; a wifi 6 version would be great

Overall Review: So far it's been stable right from the start. It's running an i5-12400 installed with stock cooler and stock specs in a moderately well-cooled case at ~31C with minimal use to around 60-70C at upper load limits. 32gb 3600mhz xmp profiled G.skill ram, 1tb m.2 drive, RTX 3070 won via shuffle. Built as a moderate-upper end gaming rig. Now, I've only had this system up and running for two days, so no idea about longevity yet. I've built about 7 PCs now, most of them for myself. But if my current Asrock Taichi Ultimate with 9900k OC'd to ~5ghz all-cores is any hint, I expect this Z690 Pro RS, with an i5-12400 non-OC'able CPU, to be reliable for a long time. I do wish it had additional m.2 heatsinks, built-in wifi and 1x USB-C slot, but I have a wifi card on the way to make up for one of those things and they are minor issues at best. I picked this vs. a new Gigabyte B660 motherboard for this build because I currently trust Asrock more than Gigabyte for reliability right now due to some recent bad press the latter has received for QC issues. I am writing this review for the Asrock rebate program, but I'd say the same things either way.

Pros: Space, glass panels

Cons: RGB LEDs defective, dented case in transit, scew threads strip/screw in crooked

Overall Review: Updated 12/19/21 Poor quality case, as cons describe, 3RGB LEDs on front fans failed within three days of use, dented case on opening forced bending metal back to mount PSU properly, screw threads strip/screw in crooked especially for side panels. Would not buy anything from this brand again. Assembled for family friend during vacation, cannot replace due to already being put together and I'm not available to reassemble a replacement case.

Pros: Thick cable

Cons: Did not hold up to light use on a mounted TV.

Overall Review: Maybe mine was the exception, but it was used to connect a bluray disc player to a mounted TV for about 4 months and then one day I couldn't get an HDMI signal. When I checked behind the tv, the hdmi metal head had ripped off and separated from the cable. It was impossible to put it back in place properly with all the pins and the solder inside had apparently given out. Now I sit here with a junk cable. I have never seen an hdmi cable fail before. Will be contacting rosewill about this.

Pros: Works

Cons: Loud fan stays high constantly after about 5-10 minutes of warmup

Overall Review: Is this normal for this power supply? Purchased in January 2013, it's been doing this for a long time, maybe forever...it always sounds like a jet wind turbine after it warms up. Speed never drops, always puts out warm air...
