@G-RFRY What's APEX and why is it 'must have'?

It looks like these motherboards are as expensive as for the Zen4 AMD motherboards.

Only two dim slots less for the CPU to handle. used by extreme OC benchmarks can handle LN2 OC dual BIOS button.

I use one limits off it boost my 10900K up to 5.4 provided your cooling is good i use custom 140 case fans. I have had a Formula, but the APEX is cheaper and better.

You don`t need one if you have a Z690 the 13 GEN CPU fits with a BIOS update.

The Z790 CPU cover is stamped with 17xx-18xx which looks like it supports L1700 chipset and L1800 the next chipset.
