Today Leo follows up on his earlier review of the N5, and takes a look at the N7 Z690 which is based on an ASROCK board with some white trimmings. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3NprbRx

00:00 Start
00:50 N7 Z690 - Asrock connections
01:32 Up close
02:44 Rear I/O panel
03:16 NZXT panels / removal of heatsinks
04:57 VRM setup
05:27 Test PC Setup
05:52 BIOS Setup and Detective work
08:02 Power and frequency testing
09:37 Performance results
11:38 Power Consumption
11:57 Leo’s Closing Thoughts

Pros:
Smart styling is a perfect match for an NZXT case
DDR4 support will reduce the cost of your build
Decent support for M.2 and SATA
Wi-Fi 6E works well

Cons:
The BIOS seems unable to use the available power
Modest DrMOS VRMs will not appeal to overclockers
The price puts this N7 Z690 head-to-head with many other Z690 motherboards
