Good price for a decent Z690 ATX board. It can easily handle 12900k at stock settings.

The Asus boards have that silly CPU overclocking quality number (SP), so if you want to overclock and measure your… E-Genitalia.
On the other hand, I think this is the MSI Board that's targeted for Dasharo support. Although I doubt that many care about open firmware for their boards that isn't close to feature parity yet. (Although I think it specifically targets the wifi variant anyway)
To be honest I think the rear I/O on the Asus might be better. Unless you require a PS/2 port for some reason.
This or MSI mortar B660m?
Mortar B660M cannot overclock the series with less M.2 slots. If you are using non K series, just grab a cheaper B660 board.
MSI or Asus? I’ve been eyeing up the DDR4 TUF board that is also quite well reviewed.
