Photographs of the ASRock Z690 Taichi, Extreme, Steel Legend, and Phantom Gaming motherboards.
Photographs of the next ASRock Z690 motherboards have been released. The photographs did not come with specifications, so we will refrain from counting how many phases each board has, which boards require DDR5 memory, or which slots are PCIe Gen5 compliant, though we will make some obvious observations about the boards.
As videocardz has spotted; The Z690 Taichi, Extreme, and Steel Legend are the top-tier models in the list, while the manufacturer is also developing an Aqua series with a monoblock already fitted. Following the discontinuation of the Fatal1ty series, ASRock first concentrated on the Phantom Gaming series, which appears to be falling farther and further down the range with each iteration.
Furthermore, the absence of H670/B660 and H610 boards from this list suggests that those boards will not be available at the same time as the Z690 series of boards.

Maybe wait for "Velocita" or "Formula" versions...
I always like ASROCK but some of their models with features vs prices are just off.
The two aforementioned usually has the best balance, to me, but prices are always a premium for the feature set.

LGA 1700 will also support LGA 18XX.

really? my bad
tho' still a one year cpu when next year's will be (for sure) amazing.
i love doing builds so i'll probably make one for friend or family. having the same chipset as next year's is big for Intel. they are also getting a good ecosystem of ddr and pcie memory going, but again a steep upgrade when we know LGA 18xx is measurably better.
early adopter fee in this case will be like ordering Cristal to go with your dinner.
