Questions about this item

Should I choose the 128GB DDR5 version or a lower capacity kit?

The board supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory across its slots, so a 128GB kit uses the full capacity while smaller kits leave room for later expansion.

What does the Z690 chipset actually deliver in a built system?

The Z690 chipset provides the feature set for LGA 1700 CPUs on this ATX motherboard, including DDR5 support and the rear I/O shown in the supplied accessories.

Which interface does the included SATA cable use and what speed does it cap at?

The supplied cable connects to the onboard SATA ports for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives; the SATA interface determines the maximum transfer rate for those devices.
