Colorful CVN Z690M Gaming Frozen V20 Motherboard Review

In this review, we will be taking a look at the CVN Z690M, which is the latest Colorful motherboard from their Gaming Frozen series. As the name suggests, the motherboard comes in a cold and frosty colors, which is mainly white and silver. I’m glad to see that Colorful keeps delivering black and white versions of the higher motherboard series. It gives a chance to design a PC in two different themes, and it’s not hard to notice that white motherboards do look special. It would be even better if one day we see a comeback to colorful PCBs like yellow, green, or red.

Now let’s back to reality and the new Colorful motherboard which for sure is something unique and worth a closer look.

As usual, let’s begin with specifications and features, while on the next pages, I will tell you some more about the performance.
