Which motherboards have the SP Rating feature? I currently have an Asus z690 Prime motherboard but I can't see my SP score. Is it only reserved for the ASUS ROG motherboard series? And if it is reserved for that series, would an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 LGA 1700 ATX Intel Motherboard have the SP rating feature? I am planning to buy this motherboard.

Prime A does NOT have any SP rating in BIOS, none of the AI OC features actually.
Also, there is only a DDR5 version of the Prime A, no other version.
It definitely does have SP rating. I’ve seen it myself
you’re right about it only being a D5 board though, I was getting the prime A and P mixed up.

For most people, including myself, the SP rating is meaningless.
Although my mobo reports SP (Z490-A), I bought the mobo for functionality, not to show me a 'negligable' number. And even then I screwed up. I didnt realize, and didnt even look for overclocking features. I just assumed the STRIX line carried them. What I am missing is dual bios, onboard reset/power buttons, and REAR PANEL CMOS RESET. I downgraded from the X79 Rampage Series not realizing it. My fault for not checking.
Back to my opening comment. I say the SP rating is meaningless because the average consumer is now stuck with that CPU, regardless of the SP rating. Simply because of economics. Not many people can afford to ditch a top-tear $1000 CPU. So, regardless of the rating, the consumer is still stuck with a 'bunk' chip.
Also, any serious overclocker doesnt need a synthetic number to establish overclocking potential. The first few steps will indicate.

SP is pretty much useless all I can take from SP is if it's too low then bad sample if it's too high then either bios glitch or really good sample everything in between is pretty mixed, like a psp112 could beat a 115 and so on.

Very weird, the board I had for quite a while, actually, did not have AI options, or somehow, by some twist of fate, I totally missed them.
Andddd the Prime-A.

what is unique about prime-a that it has it?
there is nothing special about that board besides it being the cheapest DDR5 board for SP rating

So I was not crazy, not finding the SP rating on the Prime Z790-A that I built for a friend. In fact, there MIGHT have been a SP rating on that one, with a very early BIOS version.
