does this board support windows 10 and windows 10 drivers. i am unable to install its drivers which i uv downloaded it separately. it is again and again showing that this windows 10 system doesn't support this?
sorry I didnt see this comment, when you comment under the pinned notification, or anyone elses notification, it does not send a message to the creator, so your messages will go unanswered. If you need help with something, start your own thread on the video/ So yes, if you go to the support site, like I showed you in this video, you would see the windows 10 drivers, I showed you going to 11, but you would have chosen 10 instead of 11, but here is the link anyway: www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-Z690-PLUS-WIFI-D4/HelpDesk_Download/ Also, make sure windows is 100% updated.

Iggy, I completed my new build this morning following your detailed videos. It went without a hitch but when I turned on the PSU the Z690 lit up but the fans did not turn. Then I remembered to press the power button. Updated the BIOS, installed Windows 11 and the drivers. Everything's fine thanks to you, brother! Your instructions got me through the minefield!
Awesome my friend, I am so very happy I could help you get up and running and quickly enjoying your PC, that is Awesome. I know the last place i want to get stuck in is a mine field brother, happy I could help you out hahah.
I did the EXACT same thing. Freaked out for a second. Then after about 2 min and nothing on fire I remembered to hit the power button....LOL Your videos are priceless!

hello , i would like to say thank you for this video. I was building a pc for my neighbors son and he bought a new Asus tuf z690 wifi motherboard. He really wanted the wifi part of the motherboard to work. I installed everthing correctly and even the wifi adapter on the aide of the motherboard. We thought it was going to work easily just like that but it didnt, we did research for 3 hours straight trying to configure and find out why the wifi was not working. We updated the bios, trying to turn the bluetooth/wifi setting on through windows but then little did we know we had to download the bluetooth and wifi drivers you have mentioned in the video. We was on the edge on giving up but then i found this video and this step was my last straw and it worked. We thought the board was defected but it was not. THANK YOU. Anyone who thinks their Wifi/bluetooth is not working dont worry it will you just need to follow every step this guy is doing.

@@ThisBytesForYou I shared and subbed no problem. I love building computers and i learned a lot of lessons here. Making sure the bios is up to date and all drivers are installed for any motherboard. As simple as, downloading of a file can change everything and save tons of money. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Please know though, when you update the BIOS, it will erase all of the settings you had, you will need to reset those again, but its nothing a few quick shots from your cell phone wont fix ;) and always a pleasure my friend.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video, I know how much work it can be. I just wanted to say I followed this video with my slightly newer z790 ASUS Mobo and everything worked like a charm. I will give a warning in case it helps anyone, I used my old Windows 10 Flash Drive to install windows (before finding this video) and because of the outdated software, the network driver that would usually install when you run windows for the first time, was non existent, making it almost impossible to move forward, because none of the drivers would install either for some reason but I created a Windows 11 flash drive, started from scratch, and followed this video, perfection. Thanks Iggy!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you with this as well. As you saw older installs don't include that but as long as you keep it updated it will have newer, not the latest and never a substitution for a new driver install from the support site. As always my friend if you have any questions please feel free to ask, always happy to help.
First up a big thank you IGGY!!! I am a first timer to build a pc and have been brainstorming about buying motherboards and bios setups, your videos are just awesome and on point i have seen videos from bigger channels which are mostly just aesthetics. You have taught me the whole build process to wiring the pc to flashing bios and for this sole reason i am going to get the exact same motherboard and follow this video in a couple of months Thanks a lot again!!!! Keep doing this !!!!!

It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. It really does mean a ton to me my friend, actually, you might want to check out my latest video, same board, just the DDR5 version and I go a little more into detail all in one video, and being that you will be working on the z690 chipset, it may help installing the OS. I didn't run into it in this video, but many have, since they don't prepare the OS media before the build, just use older media, but it will help: ua-cam.com/video/LUjY0aJaQqY/v-deo.html
@@ThisBytesForYou thanks for replying to my comment , i have a doubt tho, i bought ram before deciding on mobo " tuf z690 gaming edge wifi d4 " Ram is Kingston fury renegade 2*8 gb with 3600mhz cl 16, is this ram compatible with the mobo i mentioned? Thanks so much IGGY!!!
yes, actually , I use it in this build, the DDR5 variant, let me know what you think: ua-cam.com/video/LUjY0aJaQqY/v-deo.html and always a pleasure my friend.
@@ThisBytesForYou yup i have already watched the video so i was wondering if ddr4 variant tuf gaming z690 would also support kingston fury renegade 3600mhz
I would love to tell you for sure yes, but the QVL (Qualified vendor list) for that board is down right now, being that it's kingston, I would say yes, just make sure you have the latest BIOS flashed on your board.: www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-Z690-PLUS-WIFI-D4/HelpDesk_QVL_CPU/
Preparing my next build. Your instructions are just what I needed to clarify the Bios and Drivers. I wasn't sure if I could put it all on one USB drive.
Hey Iggy, I picked this board for my new build. I am not familiar with the software side of things such as updating BIOS, firmware, setting up windows etc. so I was watching these videos step by step. I had updated BIOS first, then changed the settings before installing latest version of Windows using the thumb drive I had set up (that was a great video too). One extra thing I had done was disable the setting to auto-install Armoury Crate (felt like I didn't need it). For the drivers I installed them in the same order as you, with the LAN driver last (wanted to keep PC offline so that windows update wouldn't start until I'm done manually installing drivers). I had done a DDU before installing the Nvidia driver (I never do graphics updates without using it!!). I decided to hold off on installing the AI Suite 3 and Wifi driver as I don't need those things right now. Only took a few hours, now my PC is up and running!!. Your video was very helpful and I was able to get everything done smoothly without any hiccups.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. I am thrilled that I could help you.

THANK YOU!!! I had been trying to get my TUF Gaming Z690, Intel 12th gen i5, and new RAM swapped into my rig for WEEKS. Almost gave up until I followed this guide!!! (** - I also believe that using "DDU - DisplayDriverUninstaller" & "Snappy Driver Installer Origin" were paramount factors - JUST BE CAREFUL if anyone reading this decides to use either of these utilities)
So glad i found this, i bought an upgrade set of this MoBo + CPU to build a new PC for me, and this plus the build and cabling video's make all the difference for me. Thanks thanks thanks 🙂

Great video for the once every 5 yeasrs builder. My first ASUS build this week, finally getting parts, and I had downloaded all the drivers and everything waiting for delivery today and tomorrow. But great seeing you run all their propeitary stuff, the intel stuff and just a very thorough walkthrough for ASUS owners in particular. I'll update windows 11 first, then the drivers and follow your order. Appreciate the vid

Hey nice video, i have questions. 1. Why are u installing the mainboard drivers before u install windows updates? 2. it is better if i install windows without internet conneection like u? And install without microsoftaccount? 3. do u use vmd or install without ? 4. i need to install the irst driver? Thank u
1. The drivers windows has on catalog, the WHQL drivers are OLD, drivers freshly downloaded off of the manufactures site are much newer, much more optimized 2. Yes, since Windows likes to think it has the best driver set so it tries to update you by itself. Without a Microsoft account is a preference, I personally do it with a microsoft account, since I have one anyway, I am certified, but it doesn't really mater. 3. Did you watch this video? 4. I recommend them, but you dont "need" to.

Thank you so much man! Is it safe to go directly from 0602 to 2601? Or should i go one be one progressively? A bit hestitant dont want to break anything :) Cheers.
Always a pleasure my friend, please read the notes on the bios', they will tell you if it's safe, I usually go from one to the very latest but that may not be the same on all boards. I highly suggest to go to the support site where you download the bios' and read the notes for each in between
I have this board, but with 4x16gb ddr4-3600 and an rtx 3080. Great bang for the buck board. And the ram being cheaper was a big part of why I went ddr4. This board gives me 4.8 all core at 1.23v. Max cinebench temps are mid 70s, and my rtx 3080 doesn't get past 67 degrees Celsius when gaming on project cars 2 at 4k. Also, your build is CLEAN!!!! inspired me to do my build as clean as possible. Thank you, and subscribed!
for sure, that is why I went with the board and the RAM, I was picking it right when DDR5 first came out, it was reasonably priced, then within the hour doubled in pricing, then within 30 more minutes, all RGB options were gone, then within another 30 minutes, everything reasonably priced was gone and then being a smaller creator, no one wanted to send me anything, so I bit the bullet, bought the DDR4 variant and thank god it all worked out well, hahah. Its a great board and DDR4 is still amazing, good stuff my friend. Thanks so much for your kind words and I am so very happy you liked my build, I am so happy I could inspire you and I thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me.
I noticed you install Windows 11 right after all the BIOS stuff, but it's on another flash drive, so would a person get all the BIOS stuff done, then shut it down, and restart with the Windows 11 drive inserted? Then do the drivers? Hope I said that right, haha.
Nice Video Sir, I am thinking about updating from Windows 10 to 11. but there is something caught my eyes during this setup process. You mentioned about a TMP. I have an Asus Z690 wifi-d4 with intel i7-12700K. I did look at my manual and it said "TMP" sold separately. Do I need to buy this module to update to Windows 11? Note - My MOBO does have the 14-pin port. thanks
Hello my friend, I go over this in the video, TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and I enable it as well. At first it was thought to be a module that needed to be bought (before windows 11 was released), but the form of TPM these boards have is adequate, though you can add a module, but it would be money waste, just go by what I show you here and you will be good my friend ;)

Excellent 3 video series! Thank you for sharing! I really like your workflow and organizational method. Do you always mount the AIO on top? I was considering front mount. Also curious about thoughts on push vs pull vs push/pull? Thank you!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. I prefer on the top, but I have many times (in many other videos you will see on ThisBytesForYou) placed it up at the front. I prefer at the top because I can have unobstructed air hitting the CPU and GPU from the front, while the top handles sucking heat out along with cool air. With the radiator at the front, your fans are working hard to keep the radiator cool, and not as much air comes into the cause, push/pull would help, but not as much as 100% unobstructed air of course, just my 2 cents on that, I will be proven right/wrong a thousand times, but it is how I do it. Thanks again so much my friend, I truly appreciate your kind words and I really do hope I have helped you.
This is related to Nvidea, I followed your guide 100% and my PC is up and running for the most part (Thank you Iggy 💯) however when I try to download The Nvidia Graphics Display Driver (I'm using the GeForce RTX) I get an error saying the driver is not compatible with windows. I'm using Windows 11

there are a trillion bluescreens and a trillion ways to resolve them. Sounds like you installed windows without flashing the BIOS and your windows install is corrupt. Does that sound right? You have not given me anything to help you with.
you don't but I prefer to, to make sure I do it right, sometimes though the website is not as up to date as the servers, so this allows you to update directly through the severs.
Hi iggy!! I don't ever comment on UA-cam videos but I wanted to thank you so much, I built my own PC for the very first time with your help! You gave me a sense of freedom from my old PC that my abusive ex built. I can finally get rid of it. You helped me with the cabling and the software and genuinely thank you so much♡
hello my friend, I want to first congratulate you for getting away from the abusive ex, I know getting out of that is rough, but you did it, that is awesome. I am so VERY happy I could help you with building and cabling your PC, it feels awesome not only being that you saved money and avoided buying a prebuilt system where you have no idea the quality of the parts or the level of craftsmanship but this means you did this on your own, this is your PC, that is an awesome feeling. Congratulations on these awesome achievements my friend, and I hope nothing but the best for you.
Hi Iggy, not sure if you see this, but I am using the same board. Just install Windows 11 and facing bsod everytime restarting and booting. Before I reinstall Windows 11 do you think I should try disable xmp first? I’m on bios 0807 as of 26/1/22. Cheers from Malaysia! Love your clear explanation on the subject
I watch all my comments my friend, I try to reply to and help as many people as possible. I highly suggest you load optimal defaults, actually, the way I set things up in the video is pretty universal, the settings should be good for you, let me know how it goes and thanks so much for your kind words.
@@ThisBytesForYou Hi Iggy, just a small update, updating the BIOS to Version 1003 solve the issue for me. Glad I didnt have to reinstall Windows 11. No more boot issues with my TUF Z690. If any of your viewer have the same issue can ask them to update their BIOS. Been testing it for 3 days and found no issue so far.
Yeah 1003 just came out, when you commented I checked and the latest was 0807 so that is all I could tell you but so very happy it worked out for you my friend. I always recommend updates mg to then latest bios ,it fixes soooo many issues.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. A question: Is it possible to do the process AFTER you have installed windows 11?.I have an ASUS Tuf Gaming Z590 Plus Wifi. I tried to increase my RAM from 2 8 GB modules to 4 8 GB modules (same brand and characteristics). When I did it, the screen remained black untill I removed the 2 new 8 GB modules. I thought that the new modules where damaged, but I changed the new in place of the old and they worked perfectly. Is there a way to fix this?
yes you can do this afterwards, also this video may help you understand why your RAM worked afterwards and may help you a little more: ua-cam.com/video/xqWfeOsTto8/v-deo.html

You went through it kind of quickly, but was it ok to do the updates through armoury crate? I've heard about horror stories and don't want to get involved :-).
Maybe, but I don't/wont do it through there, when the thumb drive is just as easy. I went through it quick, because not everyone has the same settings, so I went through the basics to get people going. hope you enjoyed it.

Hey mate I am new to your channel and your videos have helped me upgrade my system and set things up these last couple months without wasting time and for that I appreciate it. Regarding OS, I am still debating on upgrading my OS to Windows 11, in your opinion is it worth going from Windows 10 to 11 nowadays or should people wait a bit longer? Cheers in advance.
so very happy I could help you my friend, welcome to the family. I have been using 11 for a few months now on my main workstation, where I edit all these videos and where I spend most of my time, its perfect (well, as perfect as an OS can be), works like 10, but much smoother, but its a little odd. Upgrading works, but you get better performance on a fresh install, so I would recommend wiping your drive and starting a new install.
Nice video , I am currently smurfing parts for this build I have the same MB and EVGA 3080ti but with a 12700k. I still haven't decided on a case and PSU yet but I think I want to go with air cooling, AIO's make me nervous still I am not sure which case to go with I am thinking either meshify 2 or corsair 5000d that case is huge I want the smallest case I can get away with for this build ,any suggestions also I rather do ARGB if I am going to do RGB
5000D is an amazing case, you might want to check this video where I change cases on my workstation to this case: ua-cam.com/video/13LhFMdbtBA/v-deo.html As for liquid cooling, I have worked with the first get till the current gen, there is nothing to worry about now a days. Issues will happen with air coolers and liquid coolers, but you are good.
@@ThisBytesForYou thanks so you think air cooling will be enough of I am not OC'ing and might even try undervolting ? I mean leaks can happen with AIO though rare and the pumps don't last forever It looks cool AF but do I really need it ? Not sure I want risk it since I basically had to sell a kidney to get this card. So do you think 850 gold is enough for the build ? I am looking to keep fans at a minimum for budget reasons, maybe 7 ARGB fans I hear ampere can spike voltage and that some Seasonic supplies can not handle it and cause shut downs
well, you would need a good air cooler, I would recommend liquid cooling, its nice now and with the additional fans you can get on this case, aside from the ones it has now, you will get optimal cooling. I have fans now on the side and the liquid cooling at the top in that system. Please don't mess with undervolting, it will add instabilities to your system. 850 should be OK, but if you keep buying for what you have now, next time you upgrade you will have to spend more. I have had a 1200Watt psu for about 15 years, still works fine, then 2 other 1000Watts for 3 or 4 years, still work great, and I bought another 1000watt, spend a little more now and you dont have to spend so much later. This is my system with updated cooling: ua-cam.com/video/J5m5WBlPkfc/v-deo.html
Some will come with the BIOS already, the BIOS version should be printed on the label, but if not, you will need a processor that works since it doesn't have flashback
I have a question please answer for me. Thank you for this video. It really helped me. My question has to do with xmp in bios. My 12700k supports up to 4800 mhz ddr5 my ram is ddr5 5600mhz. With xmp on it sets it to 5600 mhz and the rated timeings . Will useing xmp at the higher settings hurt my cpu? Intel says 12700k supported is ddr5 4800mhz thank you Curtis
You may have noticed, I reply to all my comments, so you said this video helped you, which part do you feel helped you? As for XMP, it is perfectly fine. Your processor is rated for 4800Mhz, but XMP is essentially an overclock, but a safe one, so it's kind of not really an overclock, but you are safe.

Thanks so much for your support my friend and so happy I could help you.
I am building a new PC and ordered ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING Wi-Fi along with a new i5 13600kf CPU. I read the support page and forums. ASUS instructs to update Intel ME first. However my problem is that I am building a new PC so I dont have windows installed to download and update Intel ME first. Is it safe that I follow these procedures for smooth install: 1-Flash update BIOS without CPU via USB to the 2103 version. (nothing mounted on motherboard yet, only PSU) 2-Mount i5 13600kf CPU and other components then boot. (hopefully to get past POST) 3-Install windows 11 pro to NVM SDD disk (only disk) 4-Then update Intel ME Second question: If I follow the above procedure, is there an embedded latest Intel ME within the 2103 latest BIOS? What do you suggest for this scenario? Which steps do I need to follow? (p.s.: I dont have any other 12th gen CPU lying around)
your process is good my friend, use this video on how to install Windows 11 and you can use this video for how to use the flashback to flash your board before you build it: ua-cam.com/video/RnbMHHR0E_g/v-deo.html Do you need information on how to build inside of it?
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you for the reply. Im fine with building or installing with windows, I was curious if this Intel ME update is obligatory before a BIOS update. I will update it after I install windows if thats ok.

I was just up all night trying to get the m.2 nvme drive that I wanted to use for Windows to be recognized without having to go into Bios, turn off rapid storage or whatever on the first page, save, exit, go into bios, see that it was recognized and then boot manually into the m.2 nvme drive. Foxed eventually by wiping the drive through windows install, not seeing the drive, then installing the RST drivers from an unzipped folder on the format/partition screen, first of all. Crucial detail missing regarding NEW m.2 nvme drives, that cost me a night of troubleshooting. Other than that, very helpfull video.
you know, the RST driver is very strange because in the 10 times I have installed windows utilizing a z690 chipset, I have been asked twice for the driver, the other 8 times, it didn't ask me. In a video coming out soon, will start editing it soon, I went to install windows and the drive show up (using a z690 chipset) but because a few people have had the issue, I show you how to install the RST driver. Its so strange, RST is enabled in each of these builds, but it doesn't always need the driver. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for your kind words my friend.

What is the directory structure for your thumb drive? You say to extract everything, but where?? Also, is there no way to update the bios without putting the whole pc together??
you can see my directory structure at 17:27 , I copied that from my thumb drive into the Drivers directory. As for updating the BIOS, you could using ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 but you would still need to attach the power supply to the motherboard and flash it, kind of a waste of time when you are going to put it together anyway. I have never done that.

Hey men ! nice video if you are owner of this board is it ok ? i mean VRM good no coil whine . CPU voltage is not overvolted like some boards do ?. Intel (NIC) I225V is working no disconnects ? In video you flash FW USB firmware why ? if i don't flash it will be problem ? Thanks.
always flash the BIOS on a new board, ALWAYS, it fixes a lot of issues, and the FW update was made for USB because there was an issue and yes you may have an issue if you dont flash it. The board unflashed has issues
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for information. FW USB tool i must flash ONE time ? or every windows format ? But how about CPU vcores and so on what i mentioned ?
flash one time, a flash is permanent, unless a new one comes out, in which you can flash it or skip, I would always recommend flashing it, though most people won't. Nothing has been overvolted, please list what boards have and your reference to that claim? NIC works fine.

So you just manually installed all drivers from usb on top of "windows" drivers that have been downloaded and installed during windows instalation? Is this necessary?
@@ThisBytesForYou I'm just asking if it's fine to manually install drivers on top of existing drivers or should I install windows without internet connection to prevent automatic drivers installation.
I cant connect to any WiFi when first installing windows 10. It only gives me the option of Ethernet, even though I have the WiFi antenna plugged in. Any help?
@@emreboz1 bottom left hand corner of the screen, where it asks you for that ethernet/wifi connection, there should be a link to click on to create an Offline account.

I'm following along with this video now, and so far so good. Just updated the BIOS. I noticed my GPU fans aren't spinning, is that normal while in BIOS, because the GPU is not really doing anythng yet?
Awesome bud happy I could help, your gpu fan will either slow down, speed up or completely stop depending on its temperature, so the fact that its off is a good thing. Play a game, or browse the web, you should see it spin up.
@@ThisBytesForYou okay cool, I'm not quite there yet, I was just curious if that was a bad sign that they weren't spinning while in the bios. The RGB is lit up on the GPU, so I have to assume everything's okay so far.
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you! One other question, is the clock in BIOS on military time? It's 2:38 here, and have it set to 2:38, but I think it's military time, and should actually be 17:38, but I'm not sure.
Awesome video dude! Just built my first pc with the same mobo and I’m having issues with my Lan port working backwards. When enabled it will not detect the Ethernet and the lan port light is off. When disabled the port light will turn green but still won’t detect it. All drivers are updated and I’m out of options
@@ThisBytesForYou device manager. And I didn’t check bios bc being somewhat new to the depths of a pc I didn’t think it would effect it. I will check when I get home and see. Thank you!

Thx for the video. Very helpful. To enable AHCI is is just as simple as disabling RST at the EZ Bios screen? I did not do this now my drives show up under RAID: I don't need RAID. Which is better , Intel or AHCI with Windows drivers? Thx in advance.
@@ThisBytesForYou I reloaded Win 11 Pro hence my question. The board this AM kept defaulting to Raid no matter what I did in EZ or Advanced mode making it unbootable. I ended up just reloading again, and leaving the RST on. Regardless, everything is working fine with with RST enabled just like the 1st install. I added a 1TB Crucial P5 Plus as my boot drive and a 2TB 970 Evo Plus 2TB on the M.2_3 port. The P5 Plus is at 6446 MB/s write, and the EVO is at 3549 MB/s so they are both humming along nicely. The only nuance I have is my older Crucial SSD on SATA 1 is now running at SATA 2 speeds where before it was running at SATA 3 speeds. No biggie as this will be for data only. The 2TB will be used to load games. I did not realize the newer games like Forza take 100GB. Again, thx for your videos, I hit like and subscribed. I'm Googling for an advanced Bios tutorial for this board. ASUS put out 1 a month ago for the EZ Bios but not an advanced 1 yet. Take care and keep the videos coming!
Asus puts out an Advanced BIOS tutorial for boards? Please send a link, maybe I will make one, I would love to see what they go over, so I can plan one accordingly. People have been asking for it, I just am not sure how to lay it out. Always a pleasure my friend and thanks so much for your kind words and support, it means the world to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou only EZ Bios so far. I did download the Intel 600 series Channel BIOS UM (English Edition) from the ASUS website. On page 55 it states you must disable "Map SATA Controller under VMD" if you have PCI Storage under VMD. Now my drives all show up except the 2 NVMe under AHCI. Samsung Magician now states that SATA 3 is 'available" for the Crucial MX500??? Need to figure out how now to enable 6 GB/s and also if I want to map PCIE under VMD. More to follow. Always fun. Again, kudos for the reply.
Only instance online similar to my nuance with the Crucial MX 500 was a bad cable. I put a new SATA cable in and it now is operating at SATA 3 at it's rated speed. No more fiddling needed. Thx for the response. Take care.
Is this only if you updating to windows 11 on a new system? I’m thinking of building a system and just going windows 10, I don’t want to update the bios if I don’t have too but what do you think do this regardless with all the updated bios and drivers before starting up the system or is this a requirement to do before turning on your system?! Never done this before. Please help.
so, I do recommend updating the BIOS, since if you have a DDR5 board, it will improve DDR5 compatibility and a HOST of other things, but some people like issues, so thats cool. If you don't want to, you don't need to, but you will have issues, almost guaranteed, BIOS updates fix issues. You can do it after too, but installing windows with issues will cause issues for ever in the install, its best to do it before.
Hi there, I have the same motherboard and when I turn on PC, the white LED light comes on. Before updating the BIOS, the first power on always rebooted and turned on again (only with the first power on) this happens when I turn on the power supply switch.
Hi, mate how u doing? I sow on YT your movie about update bios for z690 tuf. I have a hard problem with that motherboard. I have i5 13600kf this is 13th gen. and I can not start up my PC. Can you help me how to UPDATE BIOS without cpu?

@@ThisBytesForYou I'm actually super panicked about flashing my bios. Lol. Just got the asus tuf for the holidays and I'm having ram stability issues in games... Crashing after a few min. Temps are way fine. Even under a full stress test I'm hitting 60c on mobo AND gpu respectively. Almost every one of those bios updates says Ram stability. So before I swap out my kit I figured I'd try that. I did discover by accident that even though everything is exactly the same about my Corsair Vengeance lpx Ram that the chips and controllers are actually made by two different manufacturers. One is Micron and one is samsung. So that might be a timings issue too, but as you know in the corsair 4000 D anytime you change the ram you have to take out your AIO, and that's the last thing I want to do LOL. Wish you were here to actually hold my hand instead of just on the video. LOL, I've always been terrified of flashing biosis
Hey man. Just made a stupid mistake. I got the board with a 13th gen CPU. Can the bios be updated without the CPU? At the moment all I’m getting is the DRAM light on yellow and all the fan’s spinning etc😢
sadly no, you will need another older CPU, this one will work for you, off of my amazon affiliate link, its only $77 geni.us/04ah4, not horrible, but I know, not ideal. Sadly this board does not have flashback.

@@BookofJob3XVII agreed but very difficult to please everyone since settings will be different for every board, processor, memory, SSD and etc so I have to do basics. Last thing I want to do is cause damage to someone's machine because they thought it would work and thanks so much for your kind words my friend. If you have any questions though, please ask.
yes, extracted, never run or use files inside of a zip file. Pretend a zip file is luggage, you dont get dressed inside your luggage, you take everything out and get dressed.
thankfully, it does not seam to affect this because one of the M.2 slots is controlled by the CPU, (x16 on the cpu and x4 from the m.2 slot, for 20 lanes) then the other 3 are controlled by the Chipset, the chipset however can control up to 4 and 8 SATA ports. PCIE 5.0 is nice.
What is the best way to install Asus drivers after clean windows installation? Nowadays windows install all drivers automatically during or right after the windows installation or first boot up (when laptop/pc is connected to internet). So there is two ways to install OEM drivers and I want to make sure which one is the best. 1. Disconnect internet connection before windows setup to prevent automatic driver installation by windows. So after the first boot up there will be no drivers and I can manually install Asus drivers from USB. After that connect to the internet. 2. Install windows with internet connection, after the first boot up let windows do the work (let windows install all drivers and updates) and after that download all Asus drivers and install them on top of already installed drivers.
@@ThisBytesForYou thank you I didn't notice that. So if I understand that right it doesn't matter if I install drivers from OEM before or after Windows Update drivers?
@@Metjuu24 Windows update drivers are just in case drivers, they are not mean to use for ever. You want good drivers, do to Asus' site, if you want NVIDIA's drivers, go to NVIDIA's site, if you want AMD's Drivers go to AMD's site.
I am having a FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE BSoD. I haven't updated any bios related drivers at all. So I am going to follow this guide and hope it works. I updated all other drivers besides the ones you habe listed here so hopefully this fixes it
Is the aus RyojinII aio Waterblack back plate for i9 loose after you screw in the double headed screws yet before you put the cpu block on? Should it be tight against the back of the cpu block or should there be a little slop before you crank down the aio block? I'm afraid it won't contact right with how mine is working.
Yes I have the ryujin 2 and new 12900k bracket did the same, once the aio puts pressure "screw thumb screws" on ur cpu it pulls the backplate tight, I had the same worries 2 days ago lol
Hey Iggy, I just got this board and I'm having a problem where all my drives are in a "raid" together, making it impossible for me to boot windows from my old SSD. Any way to remove them from this configuration?
I Have a question. I installed 3 m.2 4.0 PCI on the motherboard Rog Z690 Maxmius Extreem, and when loading into bios, my drives are not showing up in Bios.
well, that could be due to your processor and available PCIE lanes. what is the manufacturer and model number of your motherboard, processor, m.2 SSd's and video card?
@@ThisBytesForYou Motherboard is ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700 (Intel 12th Gen) EATX Gaming. Processor is Intel 12900 M.2 drives are two Firecuda 530 and one 980 Pro. GPU is EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING 24GB GDDR6X 24G-P5-3987-KR
OK, so the issue I think you are having is PCIE Lanes. The processor provides 20 PCIE lanes. The video card takes up 16, then when you introduce an M.2, it should drop down to x8 but then you bring in 3 x M.2's which require x4 each, so with them you have 12 taken, but there is a setting, that you may need to set in the BIOS for your PCIE lanes, to manually set them to 8x8 to allow this to work. Sadly, your motherboard manual doesn't give me any info on it, you will need to look. You may also need to disable PCIEX16(G5) in the BIOS

hello , i would like to say thank you for this video. I was building a pc for my neighbors son and he bought a new Asus tuf z690 wifi motherboard. He really wanted the wifi part of the motherboard to work. I installed everthing correctly and even the wifi adapter on the aide of the motherboard. We thought it was going to work easily just like that but it didnt, we did research for 3 hours straight trying to configure and find out why the wifi was not working. We updated the bios, trying to turn the bluetooth/wifi setting on through windows but then little did we know we had to download the bluetooth and wifi drivers you have mentioned in the video. We was on the edge on giving up but then i found this video and this step was my last straw and it worked. We thought the board was defected but it was not. THANK YOU.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video, I know how much work it can be. I just wanted to say I followed this video with my slightly newer z790 ASUS Mobo and everything worked like a charm. I will give a warning in case it helps anyone, I used my old Windows 10 Flash Drive to install windows (before finding this video) and because of the outdated software, the network driver that would usually install when you run windows for the first time, was non existent, making it almost impossible to move forward, because none of the drivers would install either for some reason but I created a Windows 11 flash drive, started from scratch, and followed this video, perfection.

Preparing my next build. Your instructions are just what I needed to clarify the Bios and Drivers. I wasn't sure if I could put it all on one USB drive.
Well awesome Ibud, so very happy I could help you
Hey Iggy, I picked this board for my new build. I am not familiar with the software side of things such as updating BIOS, firmware, setting up windows etc. so I was watching these videos step by step.
I had updated BIOS first, then changed the settings before installing latest version of Windows using the thumb drive I had set up (that was a great video too). One extra thing I had done was disable the setting to auto-install Armoury Crate (felt like I didn't need it).
For the drivers I installed them in the same order as you, with the LAN driver last (wanted to keep PC offline so that windows update wouldn't start until I'm done manually installing drivers). I had done a DDU before installing the Nvidia driver (I never do graphics updates without using it!!). I decided to hold off on installing the AI Suite 3 and Wifi driver as I don't need those things right now.
Only took a few hours, now my PC is up and running!!. Your video was very helpful and I was able to get everything done smoothly without any hiccups.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. I am thrilled that I could help you.
Also, Armoury crate is great to help you update software as you go which also requires the AI Suite, the crate is pretty handy.
Legend! Been reading all these articles to make sense what to do but got lost. Your video was exactly what I was after. Lifesaver!!

THANK YOU!!!
I had been trying to get my TUF Gaming Z690, Intel 12th gen i5, and new RAM swapped into my rig for WEEKS. Almost gave up until I followed this guide!!!
(** - I also believe that using "DDU - DisplayDriverUninstaller" & "Snappy Driver Installer Origin" were paramount factors - JUST BE CAREFUL if anyone reading this decides to use either of these utilities)
DDU is amazing, I would never touch "Snappy Driver Installer Origin", those driver installer things are HORRIBLE
So glad i found this, i bought an upgrade set of this MoBo + CPU to build a new PC for me, and this plus the build and cabling video's make all the difference for me. Thanks thanks thanks 🙂

Great video for the once every 5 yeasrs builder. My first ASUS build this week, finally getting parts, and I had downloaded all the drivers and everything waiting for delivery today and tomorrow. But great seeing you run all their propeitary stuff, the intel stuff and just a very thorough walkthrough for ASUS owners in particular.
I'll update windows 11 first, then the drivers and follow your order. Appreciate the vid

Hey nice video, i have questions. 1. Why are u installing the mainboard drivers before u install windows updates?
2. it is better if i install windows without internet conneection like u? And install without microsoftaccount?
3. do u use vmd or install without ?
4. i need to install the irst driver?
Thank u
1. The drivers windows has on catalog, the WHQL drivers are OLD, drivers freshly downloaded off of the manufactures site are much newer, much more optimized
2. Yes, since Windows likes to think it has the best driver set so it tries to update you by itself. Without a Microsoft account is a preference, I personally do it with a microsoft account, since I have one anyway, I am certified, but it doesn't really mater.
3. Did you watch this video?
4. I recommend them, but you dont "need" to.

Thank you so much man!
Is it safe to go directly from 0602 to 2601?
Or should i go one be one progressively?
A bit hestitant dont want to break anything :)
Cheers.
Always a pleasure my friend, please read the notes on the bios', they will tell you if it's safe, I usually go from one to the very latest but that may not be the same on all boards. I highly suggest to go to the support site where you download the bios' and read the notes for each in between
I have this board, but with 4x16gb ddr4-3600 and an rtx 3080. Great bang for the buck board. And the ram being cheaper was a big part of why I went ddr4. This board gives me 4.8 all core at 1.23v. Max cinebench temps are mid 70s, and my rtx 3080 doesn't get past 67 degrees Celsius when gaming on project cars 2 at 4k.
Also, your build is CLEAN!!!! inspired me to do my build as clean as possible. Thank you, and subscribed!
for sure, that is why I went with the board and the RAM, I was picking it right when DDR5 first came out, it was reasonably priced, then within the hour doubled in pricing, then within 30 more minutes, all RGB options were gone, then within another 30 minutes, everything reasonably priced was gone and then being a smaller creator, no one wanted to send me anything, so I bit the bullet, bought the DDR4 variant and thank god it all worked out well, hahah. Its a great board and DDR4 is still amazing, good stuff my friend.
Thanks so much for your kind words and I am so very happy you liked my build, I am so happy I could inspire you and I thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me.
If you have DDR4, Then you don't have this board.
@@TLgamer_TL it's called the D4 for a reason, it's the ddr4 version. The one that doesn't say d4 uses ddr5.
I noticed you install Windows 11 right after all the BIOS stuff, but it's on another flash drive, so would a person get all the BIOS stuff done, then shut it down, and restart with the Windows 11 drive inserted? Then do the drivers? Hope I said that right, haha.
yes, its recommended you flash the BIOS, then set it up, then install windows, then install the drivers.
Nice Video Sir, I am thinking about updating from Windows 10 to 11. but there is something caught my eyes during this setup process. You mentioned about a TMP. I have an Asus Z690 wifi-d4 with intel i7-12700K. I did look at my manual and it said "TMP" sold separately. Do I need to buy this module to update to Windows 11? Note - My MOBO does have the 14-pin port. thanks
Hello my friend, I go over this in the video, TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and I enable it as well. At first it was thought to be a module that needed to be bought (before windows 11 was released), but the form of TPM these boards have is adequate, though you can add a module, but it would be money waste, just go by what I show you here and you will be good my friend ;)

Excellent 3 video series! Thank you for sharing! I really like your workflow and organizational method. Do you always mount the AIO on top? I was considering front mount. Also curious about thoughts on push vs pull vs push/pull? Thank you!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. I prefer on the top, but I have many times (in many other videos you will see on ThisBytesForYou) placed it up at the front. I prefer at the top because I can have unobstructed air hitting the CPU and GPU from the front, while the top handles sucking heat out along with cool air.
With the radiator at the front, your fans are working hard to keep the radiator cool, and not as much air comes into the cause, push/pull would help, but not as much as 100% unobstructed air of course, just my 2 cents on that, I will be proven right/wrong a thousand times, but it is how I do it. Thanks again so much my friend, I truly appreciate your kind words and I really do hope I have helped you.

@@ThisBytesForYou Hi Iggy, just a small update, updating the BIOS to Version 1003 solve the issue for me. Glad I didnt have to reinstall Windows 11. No more boot issues with my TUF Z690. If any of your viewer have the same issue can ask them to update their BIOS. Been testing it for 3 days and found no issue so far.
Yeah 1003 just came out, when you commented I checked and the latest was 0807 so that is all I could tell you but so very happy it worked out for you my friend. I always recommend updates mg to then latest bios ,it fixes soooo many issues.

Hey mate I am new to your channel and your videos have helped me upgrade my system and set things up these last couple months without wasting time and for that I appreciate it. Regarding OS, I am still debating on upgrading my OS to Windows 11, in your opinion is it worth going from Windows 10 to 11 nowadays or should people wait a bit longer?
Cheers in advance.
so very happy I could help you my friend, welcome to the family. I have been using 11 for a few months now on my main workstation, where I edit all these videos and where I spend most of my time, its perfect (well, as perfect as an OS can be), works like 10, but much smoother, but its a little odd. Upgrading works, but you get better performance on a fresh install, so I would recommend wiping your drive and starting a new install.

Nice video , I am currently smurfing parts for this build I have the same MB and EVGA 3080ti but with a 12700k.
I still haven't decided on a case and PSU yet but I think I want to go with air cooling, AIO's make me nervous still
I am not sure which case to go with I am thinking either meshify 2 or corsair 5000d
that case is huge I want the smallest case I can get away with for this build ,any suggestions
also I rather do ARGB if I am going to do RGB
5000D is an amazing case, you might want to check this video where I change cases on my workstation to this case: ua-cam.com/video/13LhFMdbtBA/v-deo.html
As for liquid cooling, I have worked with the first get till the current gen, there is nothing to worry about now a days. Issues will happen with air coolers and liquid coolers, but you are good.
@@ThisBytesForYou thanks so you think air cooling will be enough of I am not OC'ing and might even try undervolting ?
I mean leaks can happen with AIO though rare and the pumps don't last forever
It looks cool AF but do I really need it ?
Not sure I want risk it since I basically had to sell a kidney to get this card.
So do you think 850 gold is enough for the build ?
I am looking to keep fans at a minimum for budget reasons, maybe 7 ARGB fans
I hear ampere can spike voltage and that some Seasonic supplies can not handle it and cause shut downs
well, you would need a good air cooler, I would recommend liquid cooling, its nice now and with the additional fans you can get on this case, aside from the ones it has now, you will get optimal cooling. I have fans now on the side and the liquid cooling at the top in that system. Please don't mess with undervolting, it will add instabilities to your system. 850 should be OK, but if you keep buying for what you have now, next time you upgrade you will have to spend more. I have had a 1200Watt psu for about 15 years, still works fine, then 2 other 1000Watts for 3 or 4 years, still work great, and I bought another 1000watt, spend a little more now and you dont have to spend so much later. This is my system with updated cooling: ua-cam.com/video/J5m5WBlPkfc/v-deo.html
Very detailed tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks bud, so very happy you enjoyed it ;)
does this work if I have an 14th generation cpu already installed? or do I need an cpu that works with the current motherboard?
Some will come with the BIOS already, the BIOS version should be printed on the label, but if not, you will need a processor that works since it doesn't have flashback
Is it wise to install ai suite 3 ? I am using the same motherboard you showed in this videos . With intel i7 12700k + rtx3070 ti
install the latest that is available on the support site, like I show you in this video, have you watched this video?
I have a question please answer for me. Thank you for this video. It really helped me. My question has to do with xmp in bios. My 12700k supports up to 4800 mhz ddr5 my ram is ddr5 5600mhz. With xmp on it sets it to 5600 mhz and the rated timeings . Will useing xmp at the higher settings hurt my cpu? Intel says 12700k supported is ddr5 4800mhz thank you Curtis
You may have noticed, I reply to all my comments, so you said this video helped you, which part do you feel helped you? As for XMP, it is perfectly fine. Your processor is rated for 4800Mhz, but XMP is essentially an overclock, but a safe one, so it's kind of not really an overclock, but you are safe.

I am building a new PC and ordered ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING Wi-Fi along with a new i5 13600kf CPU.
I read the support page and forums. ASUS instructs to update Intel ME first. However my problem is that I am building a new PC so I dont have windows installed to download and update Intel ME first.
Is it safe that I follow these procedures for smooth install:
1-Flash update BIOS without CPU via USB to the 2103 version. (nothing mounted on motherboard yet, only PSU)
2-Mount i5 13600kf CPU and other components then boot. (hopefully to get past POST)
3-Install windows 11 pro to NVM SDD disk (only disk)
4-Then update Intel ME
Second question:
If I follow the above procedure, is there an embedded latest Intel ME within the 2103 latest BIOS?
What do you suggest for this scenario? Which steps do I need to follow? (p.s.: I dont have any other 12th gen CPU lying around)
your process is good my friend, use this video on how to install Windows 11 and you can use this video for how to use the flashback to flash your board before you build it: ua-cam.com/video/RnbMHHR0E_g/v-deo.html
Do you need information on how to build inside of it?
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you for the reply. Im fine with building or installing with windows, I was curious if this Intel ME update is obligatory before a BIOS update. I will update it after I install windows if thats ok.

Question, do we need a wired mouse for that? Or Asus motherboard can pair with a bluetooth one?
it "should" work through bluetooth, but I would always recommend a wired one
I was just up all night trying to get the m.2 nvme drive that I wanted to use for Windows to be recognized without having to go into Bios, turn off rapid storage or whatever on the first page, save, exit, go into bios, see that it was recognized and then boot manually into the m.2 nvme drive. Foxed eventually by wiping the drive through windows install, not seeing the drive, then installing the RST drivers from an unzipped folder on the format/partition screen, first of all. Crucial detail missing regarding NEW m.2 nvme drives, that cost me a night of troubleshooting. Other than that, very helpfull video.
you know, the RST driver is very strange because in the 10 times I have installed windows utilizing a z690 chipset, I have been asked twice for the driver, the other 8 times, it didn't ask me. In a video coming out soon, will start editing it soon, I went to install windows and the drive show up (using a z690 chipset) but because a few people have had the issue, I show you how to install the RST driver. Its so strange, RST is enabled in each of these builds, but it doesn't always need the driver. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for your kind words my friend.

What is the directory structure for your thumb drive? You say to extract everything, but where?? Also, is there no way to update the bios without putting the whole pc together??
you can see my directory structure at 17:27 , I copied that from my thumb drive into the Drivers directory. As for updating the BIOS, you could using ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 but you would still need to attach the power supply to the motherboard and flash it, kind of a waste of time when you are going to put it together anyway. I have never done that.
Great tutorial, thank you

Have you been able to run your ram on xmp? I have this same motherboard and get instant BSOD on xmp 1, works on xmp 2 but fails the memory test. I have Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz ram 16gb x 2 C16. Thank you for your vids, i used this vid through my entire build and it was my first ever pc build.
Odd you say have I been able to when the video was using xmp but there have been updates to address memory issues, which is why I always update the bios
Have you updated your bios yet? Also, thanks so much for your kind words and I am so happy I could help you.
Few days back i bought new pc ASUS tuf gaming b660 m plus d4 with intel 15 12400f. I having problem with sound.! I am getting low sound in game only.! Should i need to update bios.?
have you raised the volume in windows? Also, a BIOS update is great to have, when you get the board, you should always flash the latest BIOS, it fixes sooooo many issues
Excellent video

Hey men ! nice video if you are owner of this board is it ok ? i mean VRM good no coil whine . CPU voltage is not overvolted like some boards do ?. Intel (NIC) I225V is working no disconnects ?
In video you flash FW USB firmware why ? if i don't flash it will be problem ?
Thanks.
always flash the BIOS on a new board, ALWAYS, it fixes a lot of issues, and the FW update was made for USB because there was an issue and yes you may have an issue if you dont flash it. The board unflashed has issues
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for information. FW USB tool i must flash ONE time ? or every windows format ?
But how about CPU vcores and so on what i mentioned ?
flash one time, a flash is permanent, unless a new one comes out, in which you can flash it or skip, I would always recommend flashing it, though most people won't. Nothing has been overvolted, please list what boards have and your reference to that claim? NIC works fine.
@@ThisBytesForYou I own Z690 MSI A Pro dd4 and i cant cool on AIO 280 stock settings cpu is not bend.. so i will order ASUS tuf and see what temps i got.
let me know how it goes.
i can't do it. i dont know which drivers to get and where from. your videos have helped me immensly but this part i would have liked to see in detail
I go over everything in the video, but I can help you, what is the manufacturer and model name of you board

Armory crate is awesome and yeah it will take care of you, I prefer the manual method, but that doesn't mean it the only method, I go over that in this video too. So happy you got it working.
So you just manually installed all drivers from usb on top of "windows" drivers that have been downloaded and installed during windows instalation? Is this necessary?
If you don't care about performance, use the ones off of windows update
@@ThisBytesForYou I'm just asking if it's fine to manually install drivers on top of existing drivers or should I install windows without internet connection to prevent automatic drivers installation.

I cant connect to any WiFi when first installing windows 10. It only gives me the option of Ethernet, even though I have the WiFi antenna plugged in. Any help?
yeah it happens, but choose an offline account, then watch the video for how to install those drivers.
@@ThisBytesForYou wdym “offline account”?
@@emreboz1 bottom left hand corner of the screen, where it asks you for that ethernet/wifi connection, there should be a link to click on to create an Offline account.
From this screen, if you are not getting Wifi, or Ethernet, and you don't see "Offline Account" a little more difficult, because you have to work in the command prompt you can follow this video: ua-cam.com/video/xn4RClXeuv8/v-deo.html

I'm following along with this video now, and so far so good. Just updated the BIOS. I noticed my GPU fans aren't spinning, is that normal while in BIOS, because the GPU is not really doing anythng yet?
Awesome bud happy I could help, your gpu fan will either slow down, speed up or completely stop depending on its temperature, so the fact that its off is a good thing. Play a game, or browse the web, you should see it spin up.
@@ThisBytesForYou okay cool, I'm not quite there yet, I was just curious if that was a bad sign that they weren't spinning while in the bios. The RGB is lit up on the GPU, so I have to assume everything's okay so far.
@@jimlundquist3600 yup, sounds good my friend
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you! One other question, is the clock in BIOS on military time? It's 2:38 here, and have it set to 2:38, but I think it's military time, and should actually be 17:38, but I'm not sure.
it could be, but you need to check in the BIOS to change that, I dont remember the setting
Awesome video dude! Just built my first pc with the same mobo and I’m having issues with my Lan port working backwards. When enabled it will not detect the Ethernet and the lan port light is off. When disabled the port light will turn green but still won’t detect it. All drivers are updated and I’m out of options
Very strange, where are you disabling it from, BIOS or in device manager? Are you on the latest BIOS?
@@ThisBytesForYou device manager. And I didn’t check bios bc being somewhat new to the depths of a pc I didn’t think it would effect it. I will check when I get home and see. Thank you!
Always a pleasure my friend, thats what this video helps you with, flashing the BIOS and checking/setting it up, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me.

Thx for the video. Very helpful. To enable AHCI is is just as simple as disabling RST at the EZ Bios screen? I did not do this now my drives show up under RAID: I don't need RAID. Which is better , Intel or AHCI with Windows drivers? Thx in advance.
Always a pleasure my friend, but RAID (on a single drive) and AHCI are very similar, sometimes even use the same drives. Is the drive working now?
@@ThisBytesForYou I reloaded Win 11 Pro hence my question. The board this AM kept defaulting to Raid no matter what I did in EZ or Advanced mode making it unbootable. I ended up just reloading again, and leaving the RST on. Regardless, everything is working fine with with RST enabled just like the 1st install. I added a 1TB Crucial P5 Plus as my boot drive and a 2TB 970 Evo Plus 2TB on the M.2_3 port. The P5 Plus is at 6446 MB/s write, and the EVO is at 3549 MB/s so they are both humming along nicely. The only nuance I have is my older Crucial SSD on SATA 1 is now running at SATA 2 speeds where before it was running at SATA 3 speeds. No biggie as this will be for data only. The 2TB will be used to load games. I did not realize the newer games like Forza take 100GB. Again, thx for your videos, I hit like and subscribed. I'm Googling for an advanced Bios tutorial for this board. ASUS put out 1 a month ago for the EZ Bios but not an advanced 1 yet. Take care and keep the videos coming!
Asus puts out an Advanced BIOS tutorial for boards? Please send a link, maybe I will make one, I would love to see what they go over, so I can plan one accordingly. People have been asking for it, I just am not sure how to lay it out. Always a pleasure my friend and thanks so much for your kind words and support, it means the world to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou only EZ Bios so far. I did download the Intel 600 series Channel BIOS UM (English Edition) from the ASUS website. On page 55 it states you must disable "Map SATA Controller under VMD" if you have PCI Storage under VMD. Now my drives all show up except the 2 NVMe under AHCI. Samsung Magician now states that SATA 3 is 'available" for the Crucial MX500??? Need to figure out how now to enable 6 GB/s and also if I want to map PCIE under VMD. More to follow. Always fun. Again, kudos for the reply.
Only instance online similar to my nuance with the Crucial MX 500 was a bad cable. I put a new SATA cable in and it now is operating at SATA 3 at it's rated speed. No more fiddling needed. Thx for the response. Take care.
Is this only if you updating to windows 11 on a new system? I’m thinking of building a system and just going windows 10, I don’t want to update the bios if I don’t have too but what do you think do this regardless with all the updated bios and drivers before starting up the system or is this a requirement to do before turning on your system?! Never done this before. Please help.
so, I do recommend updating the BIOS, since if you have a DDR5 board, it will improve DDR5 compatibility and a HOST of other things, but some people like issues, so thats cool. If you don't want to, you don't need to, but you will have issues, almost guaranteed, BIOS updates fix issues. You can do it after too, but installing windows with issues will cause issues for ever in the install, its best to do it before.
@@ThisBytesForYou what if it’s a DDR4 board do you still recommend to do so?
Stop fighting it, a bios update fixes so many things, just do it.
@@ThisBytesForYou I’m not fighting it, I’m just asking questions., but thanks for your input.
@@Pa-pe No problem.
Hi there, I have the same motherboard and when I turn on PC, the white LED light comes on. Before updating the BIOS, the first power on always rebooted and turned on again (only with the first power on) this happens when I turn on the power supply switch.
I have no idea what you are telling me
Hi, mate how u doing? I sow on YT your movie about update bios for z690 tuf. I have a hard problem with that motherboard. I have i5 13600kf this is 13th gen. and I can not start up my PC. Can you help me how to UPDATE BIOS without cpu?
Please provide the exact model number and manufacture fo the board, there are many tuf boards. And seriously, you've messaged across 3 video's and 2 platforms, breath my friend, I will help you.

@@ThisBytesForYou I'm actually super panicked about flashing my bios. Lol. Just got the asus tuf for the holidays and I'm having ram stability issues in games... Crashing after a few min. Temps are way fine. Even under a full stress test I'm hitting 60c on mobo AND gpu respectively.
Almost every one of those bios updates says Ram stability. So before I swap out my kit I figured I'd try that.
I did discover by accident that even though everything is exactly the same about my Corsair Vengeance lpx Ram that the chips and controllers are actually made by two different manufacturers. One is Micron and one is samsung. So that might be a timings issue too, but as you know in the corsair 4000 D anytime you change the ram you have to take out your AIO, and that's the last thing I want to do LOL.
Wish you were here to actually hold my hand instead of just on the video. LOL, I've always been terrified of flashing biosis
@@Sidecar_associates flash the bios, it helps
Any chance you know how to install the LAN Driver for Windows 11 from command prompt?
It should not be hard to figure out, but why would you want to do it from dos when it works fine in windows?
Hey man. Just made a stupid mistake. I got the board with a 13th gen CPU. Can the bios be updated without the CPU? At the moment all I’m getting is the DRAM light on yellow and all the fan’s spinning etc😢
sadly no, you will need another older CPU, this one will work for you, off of my amazon affiliate link, its only $77 geni.us/04ah4, not horrible, but I know, not ideal. Sadly this board does not have flashback.

My ASUS GPU is Nvidea, obviously, but they have software and such on the ASUS site, wouldn't the Nvidea drivers be all I need?
the drivers control your card, the additional utilities allow you to overclock and such, kind of like MSI afterburner
@@ThisBytesForYou Gotcha...thanks!
Are you going to show us how to tweak the bios for best performance?
Being that there are trillions of potential configurations, I don't think so but what are you looking for?
@@ThisBytesForYou Great videos btw. It would be shame to build a decent PC and not able to unleash its full potential/features it has to offer.
@@BookofJob3XVII agreed but very difficult to please everyone since settings will be different for every board, processor, memory, SSD and etc so I have to do basics. Last thing I want to do is cause damage to someone's machine because they thought it would work and thanks so much for your kind words my friend.
If you have any questions though, please ask.
Do the bios files need to be unzipped or just the drivers?
yes, extracted, never run or use files inside of a zip file. Pretend a zip file is luggage, you dont get dressed inside your luggage, you take everything out and get dressed.
ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 can i assume that if you use all m.2 slots you won't lose any sata ports considering it only has 4 sata ports
thankfully, it does not seam to affect this because one of the M.2 slots is controlled by the CPU, (x16 on the cpu and x4 from the m.2 slot, for 20 lanes) then the other 3 are controlled by the Chipset, the chipset however can control up to 4 and 8 SATA ports. PCIE 5.0 is nice.
What is the best way to install Asus drivers after clean windows installation?
Nowadays windows install all drivers automatically during or right after the windows installation or first boot up (when laptop/pc is connected to internet).
So there is two ways to install OEM drivers and I want to make sure which one is the best.
1. Disconnect internet connection before windows setup to prevent automatic driver installation by windows.
So after the first boot up there will be no drivers and I can manually install Asus drivers from USB. After that connect to the internet.
2. Install windows with internet connection, after the first boot up let windows do the work (let windows install all drivers and updates) and after that download all Asus drivers and install them on top of already installed drivers.
the best way, watch the video, I talk about this in great detail.
@@ThisBytesForYou thank you I didn't notice that. So if I understand that right it doesn't matter if I install drivers from OEM before or after Windows Update drivers?
@@Metjuu24 did you watch the video, It REALLY doesn't sound like you did.
@@Metjuu24 Windows update drivers are just in case drivers, they are not mean to use for ever. You want good drivers, do to Asus' site, if you want NVIDIA's drivers, go to NVIDIA's site, if you want AMD's Drivers go to AMD's site.
I am having a FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE BSoD. I haven't updated any bios related drivers at all. So I am going to follow this guide and hope it works. I updated all other drivers besides the ones you habe listed here so hopefully this fixes it
let me know how it goes for you.
Is the aus RyojinII aio Waterblack back plate for i9 loose after you screw in the double headed screws yet before you put the cpu block on?
Should it be tight against the back of the cpu block or should there be a little slop before you crank down the aio block?
I'm afraid it won't contact right with how mine is working.
I have no idea, I have never used that unit, I would HIGHLY recommend you give Asus a call.
Yes I have the ryujin 2 and new 12900k bracket did the same, once the aio puts pressure "screw thumb screws" on ur cpu it pulls the backplate tight, I had the same worries 2 days ago lol
Hey Iggy, I just got this board and I'm having a problem where all my drives are in a "raid" together, making it impossible for me to boot windows from my old SSD. Any way to remove them from this configuration?
Well, usually you would need to destroy the raid on the original machine... do you still have access to that board?
4:57 is that PSU or gpu coil whine sound?
man, my microphone is awesome, hahah, those have to be fans, because I didn't hear any whine.
I Have a question. I installed 3 m.2 4.0 PCI on the motherboard Rog Z690 Maxmius Extreem, and when loading into bios, my drives are not showing up in Bios.
well, that could be due to your processor and available PCIE lanes. what is the manufacturer and model number of your motherboard, processor, m.2 SSd's and video card?
@@ThisBytesForYou Motherboard is ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700 (Intel 12th Gen) EATX Gaming.
Processor is Intel 12900
M.2 drives are two Firecuda 530 and one 980 Pro.
GPU is EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING 24GB GDDR6X 24G-P5-3987-KR
OK, so the issue I think you are having is PCIE Lanes.
The processor provides 20 PCIE lanes. The video card takes up 16, then when you introduce an M.2, it should drop down to x8 but then you bring in 3 x M.2's which require x4 each, so with them you have 12 taken, but there is a setting, that you may need to set in the BIOS for your PCIE lanes, to manually set them to 8x8 to allow this to work.
Sadly, your motherboard manual doesn't give me any info on it, you will need to look. You may also need to disable PCIEX16(G5) in the BIOS
Thanks a bunch bud
