ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 LGA1700 Micro-ATX Motherboard (DDR4)

The ASUS PRIME Z690 motherboards support Intel’s 12th generation processors and has three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, features PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2x2 and a whole host of other features that make this board ideal for virtually any scenario.

ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 12th Generation Intel processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Prime Z690-P D4 provides users and PC DIY builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.

PERFORMANCE

Prime Z690 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 12th Generation Intel processors. ASUS Z690 motherboards provide all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

DDR4 5333 (OC)

Improvements to trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime Z690 series offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

PCIe 5.0 Slot

The 12th Gen Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.

VRM Heatsinks and High-quality Thermal Pads

Two massive VRM heatsinks and high-quality thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C

Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including rear USB Type-C connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
