ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFI Intel Z690 LGA 1700 micro ATX

ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFIROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi is the premiere choice for enthusiasts who enjoy building compact mATX setups. Premium-grade power delivery, cooling, and the latest networking standards have been packed in to ride alongside DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, unleashing the full force of 12th Gen Intel® Core processors. And layered on top, there s a stack of ASUS-exclusive intelligent controls to optimize every aspect of system performance.POWER DESIGNDigital power control and an array of power stages provide the muscle needed to control the latest Intel CPUs.Integrated I/O cover & VRM heatsinksTwo thick heatsinks that are bonded to the metal I/O shield cool the VRMs. This structure provides ample mass and surface area to deal with the thermals of Intel s latest processors.Thermal padsSpecially engineered thermal pads efficiently transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.Two M.2 heatsinksMultiple M.2 heatsinks help maintain onboard M.2 NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.Two M.2 backplatesTwo integrated M.2 backplates help ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.COOLER BY DESIGNROG 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 headersA dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers for CPU coolers.AIO pump fan headerA dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.M.2 heatsinkKeeps a mounted M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.M.2 backplateProvides additional mass to deal with the thermal load of high-performance M.2 drives.4-pin PWM/DC fan headerEach header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATIONThis 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.ROG AI OVERCLOCKINGROG AI Overclocking is an intelligent utility that helps you get the most out of your build by automatically profiling your CPU and cooling system to predict optimal voltage and frequency settings.Accessible via the AI Suite software in Windows or directly through the UEFI, the intuitive AI Overclocking user interface enables users of all levels. A range of customizable settings are available for seasoned overclockers, and an auto-tuning option is available for beginners.AI COOLINGASUS AI Cooling technology automatically manages and controls motherboard-connected fans to ensure optimal settings based on current system load and temperature.AI NETWORKINGThe proprietary ROG GameFirst VI utility is designed to help all users beginners, experts, and everyone in between optimize network settings to ensure smooth online gameplay. New to this generation, GameFirst VI features AI-enhanced identification and boost technologies to ensure faster and smarter network optimization.IdentificationGameFirst VI analyzes usage patterns and the digital signatures of your applications and compares them to a database of over 200,000 apps.BoostGameFirst VI intelligently switches application priority and adjusts bandwidth, depending on the situation. When gaming, it accelerates and prioritizes game packets to give you supersmooth online gameplay even when you're streaming high-quality video or transferring large files.VisualizationAn intuitive graph provides an overview of real-time network status. Simply click on the tab to view the current bandwidth usage of each application, geolocation status of each network connection, or an analysis of the WiFi channels.DDR5 Overclocking Strength - ASUS Enhanced Memory ProfileComprehensive 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 technologyA dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing you to step past the default 1.1-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.PCIe® 4.0-ReadyWith three strategically placed M.2 slots, ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi leverages mighty CPU and chipset bandwidth to deliver lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 data transfers, Intel NVM Express® RAID, and high-capacity drive options that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs.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 EthernetOnboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, delivering speeds up to 2.5X faster standard Ethernet connections for faster file transfers, low-lag gaming and high-res video streaming.SUPREMEFXROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software that provides superior audio. In ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi, SupremeFX features the ALC4080 codec to increase playback resolution from 192 kHz to 384 kHz across all channels. The front-panel output is streamed through a highly integrated Savitech amplifier that s capable of driving of a wide variety of gaming headsets and high-fidelity headphones.UNDENIABLY ROG STRIXROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi reinforces the sci-fi aesthetic of the ROG worldview with iridescent logos on the I/O cover and M.2 heatsink, and the PCH cover gives users the freedom to personalize their rig with customizable RGB.OUTSHINE THE COMPETITIONROG 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 as well as lighting strips connected to onboard RGB headers. In addition, all lighting can be easily synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.M.2 Q-LATCHThe innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws.CLR CMOS BUTTONA quick press of the Clr CMOS button helps reset BIOS settings. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.BIOS FLASHBACK BUTTONBIOS FlashBack is the simplest and safest way to update the BIOS. Simply drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port and press the button. Updates can even be performed without memory modules or a CPU installed.Q-LEDOnboard LEDs indicate power status or issues with the CPU, memory, graphics card or boot device.PRE-MOUNTED I/O SHIELDThe patented ROG I/O shield is finished in sleek matte black and comes pre-mounted, which further simplifies the process of installing the motherboard.CERTIFIED COMPATIBILITYROG Strix motherboards undergo an extensive certification program to ensure compatibility with the widest range of components and devices.
