Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Pretty sure the ultra lite version is just the original batch of busted boards with the pcie slot set to 3.0 in the bios out of the factory. There's another different revision that has it actually working at 4.0 speeds.
I have another build with the same board. The pcie slot does indeed work at 4.0 speeds. It's not " busted". Haven't tested anything with the 5.0 speed option though.
Ah ok, glad to hear that. The official spec page still says 3.0 only and I remember them having 3 z690 itx revisions, the vanilla aorus ultra that was soft recalled, the ultra lite which was pcie 3.0 and the ultra plus which had the 4.0 working and fixed. I guess they should update their site info or something then.
