Aaus boards often come with inflated prices, though you might find a decent deal sometimes. I’d recommend opting for a z690 aero g ddr4 instead, since these cards are packed with lots of I/O ports—like 3 USBs, 8 USB3, 6 USB2, etc.—and really focus on that I/O capacity. If you don’t need much I/O, go with a more affordable model such as z690 ud, pro, or pg riptide. Those tend to be cheaper while still offering solid performance.
Keep in mind, these boards are built for 4 heatpipes, but they lack airflow. For better cooling, switch to a case with mesh or airflow features like the p400a, 4000d, or lancool 215.
Because the top-mount design has poor front airflow, only a 240mm radiator will fit.
In reality, this entire situation is significantly more intricate than JD anticipated.
