GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS Ultra Intel motherboard

Compact Z690 platform for 12th Gen Intel builds

The GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS Ultra is a Mini-ITX motherboard built around the Intel LGA 1700 socket and Z690 chipset. It supports 12th Gen Intel Core processors and runs dual-channel DDR5 memory. A 10+2+1 phase digital VRM with 105 A power stages delivers stable current for high-performance CPUs in a small chassis.

Ideal for small-form-factor gaming

Builders who need PCIe 5.0 graphics bandwidth, dual M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 wiring, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C in a Mini-ITX layout will fit here. The board includes Intel WiFi 6E, 2.5 GbE LAN, and AMP-UP audio with ALC4080. It is not for buyers who require DDR4 memory, legacy cooling brackets, or more than two M.2 drives.

The LGA 1700 socket decides compatibility

Only 12th Gen Intel Core processors fit this socket, and the board accepts only DDR5 modules. Cooling solutions must use the LGA 1700 mounting pattern. If your CPU, memory, or cooler do not match these three constraints, the motherboard will not work.
