The specs on this are awesome, but why no 10 gigabit ethernet? 2.5G ports seem to be the standard, even on these insanely expensive boards. If all the other specs are so high-end, why skimp on the ethernet?

is it DIY or is it pre-assembled ?

This was such a nice thread until I got to this part...
According to Newegg, we should expect to pay a whopping $1,299 for the Z690 Aqua and $1,399 for the Z690 Aqua OC
combine this with a 12900k and a 3090ti and you have a $12,000 computer!
:p

It does have 10gigabit ethernet - Aquantia Marvell 10 g/s lan.

Thank you and enjoy it , it is a fun motherboard for overclocking. This is a beta bios we are testing internally hence i'ts not on their website yet , it is provided as is until a final one is aproved .

It's a crazy looking motherboard, such good design. This probably has the same DNA from the OC-Formula series, the aqua has the premium blocks on it, that's why the price. If you want the best of the best, this is the one.
And apparently they won't make many of these.

My bad I'm just replying to this, didn't see you had responded. Thanks a million for sharing the bios with the community man, good look. I'll def. let you know once it arrives, appreciate your offer.
I've seen you on the top of the charts for years now, let me know if I can help with anything, am also on oc.net.

I love these hign end boards, they just look so nice. I do believe it time they did away with onboard audio and gave you some kind of external USB Amp/Dac combo. I mean you do pay enough for the motherboard.

Does this board not support nvlink? Doesn’t seem to be working and manual only mentions crossfire.
