ASUS Z690 Motherboards Listed By Canadian Retailer – Include ROG Maximus, ROG STRIX, TUF Gaming & Prime Series

ASUS's upcoming Z690 motherboard lineup which includes ROG, TUF & PRIME series has been listed online by Canadian retailer, PC-Canada.

There are a total of nine motherboards that have been listed by the retailer but we have seen a total of 19 motherboards in the EEC listings prior to this. The listing includes a single ROG Z690 Maximus series motherboard, two ROG STRIX motherboards, a single TUF Gaming motherboard, and five PRIME series motherboards.

The ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 HERO is listed for a price of $788.99 CAD which equals $625 USD. The ROG Maximus XIII HERO which is based on the current Z590 chipset is listed for $854.99 CAD or $678 US by the same retailer. Moving on, we have the ROG STRIX Z690-F Gaming WiFi which is listed for $510.99 CAD ($405 USD), ROG STRIX Z690-A Gaming WiFi D for $446.99 CAD ($354 USD). The single TUF Gaming Z690-PLUS WiFI D4 is listed for $370.99 CAD ($294.25 USD).

Moving over to the ASUS Z690 PRIME lineup, we have the PRIME Z690-A which is listed for $382.99 CAD ($303 USD), PRIME Z690-P WiFi for $318.99 CAD ($253 USD), PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4 for $306.99 CAD ($243 USD), PRIME Z690-P for $293.99 CAD ($233.16) and PRIME Z690-P D4 for $280.99 CAD or $222 USD.

Based on the prices from the same retailer, it looks like the high-end Z690 motherboards are a bit cheaper than their Z590 predecessors while the entry-level lineup is slightly more expensive. Again, these are preliminary prices so expect them to drop further as we get close to launch.
