Easy to access the bits and bobs. handy heatsink for M.2. Fits into mid tower easily.

This motherboard surpassed my expectations, and I can't fault it. The amount of IO, Fan headers, and m.2 slots made this a no brainer for me at its price point.

Definitely one of the better budget z690 boards although I would have preffered the one with wifi. No dice, it was out of stock. There are 6 system fan headers which are great if you are lacking a fan hub but want to get some quality air flow with your fans. Also a good option if like me, you are going for ddr4 since ddr5 is expensive and scarce. Overall, no issues with the product operation. Installation however was a bit puzzling until I finally tracked down the online manual (No manual comes with it which is great for the environment but they ought to leave a note saying where to find it).

Looks great and has a nice easy to use bios
