The Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X looks pretty sleek. Given the exorbitant costs of DDR5 RAM at the time of completing this review, users may want to opt into purchasing the DDR4 version and use their existing DDR4 Ram from a previous build like we did. The Z690 Gaming X comes in two flavours with both a DDR4 version and DDR5 version being available for purchase. The main one of course being support for Intel’s Alder Lake CPU series. Being a Z690 motherboard, this is a high-end up to date piece of computer hardware and as such, features a lot of benefits over its predecessor.

We opted for the Intel Core i5-12600K and paired this with our 2 x 8GB HyperX Predator 3200mhz DDR4 RAM, Gigabyte RTX 3060 Gaming OC and Gigabyte P1000GM PSU to round off our build.

Since the Z690 Gaming X DDR4 is an Intel 12th generation CPU compatible motherboard, we had to install a fresh Alder Lake CPU into our build. Without wasting any time, we immediately unboxed these products and rebuilt our test bench with the new components in place. Gigabyte sent through their brand new Z690 Gaming X DDR 4 motherboard along with their Aorus Waterforce 240 AIO Liquid Cooler for review purposes over here at Gameblur.
