POWER DESIGN
Digital power control and an array of power stages provide the muscle needed to control the latest Intel CPUs.

Integrated I/O Cover & VRM Heatsinks
Two thick VRM heatsinks connected by a heat pipe and bonded to a pre-mounted metal I/O shield provide ample surface area and mass to handle the power needs of high-performance 12th Gen Intel processors.

Thermal Pads
Specially engineered thermal pads efficiently transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

Four M.2 Heatsinks
Multiple M.2 heatsinks help maintain onboard M.2 NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

M.2 Backplate
An integrated M.2 backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.

COOLER BY DESIGN
ROG Strix Z690 motherboards feature comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via the Fan Xpert 4 tool in Armoury Crate or within the UEFI BIOS.

CPU fan headers
A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers for CPU coolers

AIO pump fan header
A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups

M.2 heatsink
Keeps a mounted M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

M.2 backplate
Provides additional heat dissipation to deal with the thermal load of high-performance M.2 NVME SSDs

4-pin PWM/DC fan headers

TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or during calls.

A splitter cable is necessary when using a 3.5 mm headset.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the Strix Z690 lineup breaks performance limits by providing a stacked suite of overclocking parameters for not only high-speed kits, but even entry-level memory modules that have a locked power management IC (PMIC).

New to overclocking Click here to learn about the ASUS-exclusive AEMP technology

• A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing you to step past the default.1-volt limit and push frequency and timings to the max.
• Ordinarily, a restricted PMIC that has been unlocked requires the system to be fully power-cycled each time memory voltage is adjusted. ROG motherboards leverage onboard hardware and firmware to cleverly work around this irksome limitation, enabling voltage adjustments to be applied through the same soft system-reset process employed for previous generations of DDR memory.

WIFI 6E (802.11 AX)
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. It provides up to three times the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band and up to seven 160 MHz bands to deliver ultrafast wireless networking speeds and improved capacity as well as better performance in dense wireless environments.

WiFi 6E availability and features are dependent on regulatory limitations and co-existence with 5 GHz WiFi
Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, delivering up to 2.5X the speed of standard Ethernet connections for faster file transfers, low-lag gaming, and high-resolution video streaming.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION
ROG Strix motherboards deliver sterling performance and superior aesthetics to outshine the competition. They also feature built-in ASUS Aura technology that enables full RGB lighting control and a variety of presets for embedded RGB LEDs and third-party lighting strips that can connect to onboard RGB headers. In addition, all lighting can be easily synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.
