ASRock delivers a Z690 that offers a bit more value, located under 300 USD this motherboard however is loaded with premium features. Next to that, to save you some money on that total cost of the build, you can use DDR4 memory on this motherboard. This Z690 Alder Lake-ready motherboard features three M2 slots, and Dragon a 2.5 GigE connector, among other features.

Got the Z590 variant myself, really happy with it.
The software sucks though, but i don't use it since the RGB can be disabled in the BIOS.

Love your thorough reviews Hilbert!
VRM's looks great under full load but that 400 watts of a power draw at OC is insane!
I wonder how those ~ new $200 or less MB would do...

Disable RGB ? You must be trippin ... totaly nuts . Its free performance. I'm sure Hilbert soon will post benchmarks of RBG Technology. You can expect gains along with the one of DLSS.
True story.
