You're considering two Z690 UD AX DDR4 motherboards: one with a P/S2 connector and another with the Aorus Elite variant. The main differences you noticed are in the number of VRM units—16 on the first model versus 12 on the second. This could affect power delivery, especially if your CPU requires more stable voltage. Check the specifications for both models to confirm their power supply ratings and thermal performance. Since both are within a similar price range, focus on compatibility with your CPU and any additional features like overclocking support or BIOS updates. If you're unsure, buying one after testing might be safer.

I’ll take the UD AX, it’s a solid board, though the cost limits its overall value. If you’re interested in Gigabyte solutions, you might want to explore Aorus instead.
