SeekerNZXT N5 Z690
Priced under $240 direct from NZXT, the N5 Z690 is a budget board (for this chipset) that includes a lot of storage (four M.2 sockets), included Wi-Fi 6E, and sports the unique NZXT appearance. The board doesn’t do anything exceeding well, but there’s also nothing major to complain about. If you it slooks and need four M.2 sockets, the N5 Z690 is an affordable option.
