Socket and generation support

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket and the Z690 chipset. It accepts 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core processors, plus Pentium Gold and Celeron models. A BIOS update may be required before a 13th Generation CPU will boot.

Memory capacity and speed headroom

Four 288-pin slots support DDR5 up to 256 GB in dual-channel mode. Rated speeds range from 4800 MT/s at stock to 6000 MT/s when overclocked, with intermediate steps at 5000, 5200, 5400, 5600 and 5800 MT/s. Stability at the highest frequencies depends on the memory kit and CPU silicon quality.

Primary expansion slot

A single PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot provides the main graphics or accelerator connection. Actual link width and generation depend on the installed processor, so verify the CPU specification before choosing a card.

Questions about this item

Will my existing LGA 1200 CPU cooler fit the LGA 1700 socket on this board?

Yes, the board includes dual mounting holes compatible with both LGA 1700 and LGA 1200 cooling brackets.

How can I verify the DDR5 memory is running at the 6000 MT/s speed shown on the box?

Open the UEFI or a tool such as CPU-Z; the memory tab will display the current DRAM frequency matching the rated data rate.

Does the package include the Wi-Fi antenna and M.2 screws, or must I buy them separately?

The open-box unit ships with the motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables and manual; Wi-Fi antenna and M.2 screws are not included.
