Biostar Z690 Valkyrie

amazon Biostar Z690 Valkyrie reviews

Z690 Valkyrie is Biostar’s most advanced motherboard this year with excellent equipment, not inferior to any other name. In particular, the price offered by Biostar is extremely comfortable, only on par with mid-range Z690 motherboards of other brands.

Design

Biostar Z690 Valkyrie owns a design inspired by Asrock with full “hat and armor” in all important positions, especially 2 small fans to cool the VRM system.

The most prominent of which is the Valkyrie logo in the chipset area and the heatsink heatsinks for M.2 SSDs covered in Gold, which contrasts strongly with the black tone of the mainboard.

All PCI-E slots are shinily armored.

The design overview of the Z690 Valkyrie is a bit futuristic, especially the decorative motifs, giving this motherboard a unique feature, distinguishing it from other brands.

On the back, Biostar is very careful when equipping with metal armor to protect components.

Equipment

In the mid-range segment of Z690 motherboards from big brands like Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte, however, the Biostar Z690 Valkyrie is equipped with a Flagship. First of all, the power supply system with up to 20 phases – 105A (Dr.Mos) – belongs to the TOP of the current Z690 motherboards, Intel’s most powerful CPU Overclock is Core i9-12900K. The components are also machined with very good precision, there is no problem that the power phases are lined up with each other like in some other motherboard brands from China.

Biostar Z690 Valkyrie owns 4 M.2 NVME slots, including 3 Gen 4 slots and 1 Gen 3 slot at the bottom, enough for almost all storage needs.

Especially, if other motherboards only have 1 PCI-E 5.0 slot, Biostar Z690 Valkyrie is equipped with 2 slots, ready for the most powerful Dual VGA configuration for the future.

Regarding the connection ports, it is commendable for Biostar Z690 Valkyrie when equipped with extremely complete with 4 output ports (2 HDMI, 2 Display ports) – the most of any motherboard on the market with max resolution 5K @60Hz.

However, there is still a minus point that Biostar is not equipped with Wifi 6E but only has a ready plug and antenna position. This means that if you want to use it, users will have to buy an additional Wifi card to attach it.

Summary

If you are a hardware enthusiast & want to experience the latest technologies but have a limited budget, Biostar Z690 Valkyrie is the best choice at the moment. Instead of having to spend over $850 to own equivalent equipment on other Z690 motherboards.
