Z690 ATX Platform

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z690 chipset and the LGA 1700 socket. It accepts Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th and 14th generations as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron models. The board supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 192 GB with overclocked speeds reaching 5333 MHz.

Connectivity and Build

The board measures 30.5 by 24.4 cm and uses standard ATX mounting points for case installation. Rear I/O provides 10 USB ports including one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Internal storage options include four M.2 interfaces and six SATA III connectors, while audio is handled by the ROG SupremeFX ALC4080 codec delivering 7.1 surround sound.

Interface Limits

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is wired directly to the CPU and its bandwidth depends on the installed processor generation. A second full-length slot from the chipset operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 mode, and a single PCIe 3.0 x1 slot is also available. Wireless networking uses Intel Wi-Fi 6E, and the board ships without original packaging or most accessories.

Questions about this item

Which PCIe standard does the top x16 slot use, and what speed does that cap the graphics card at?

The primary slot is PCIe 5.0 x16, so a graphics card will be limited to PCIe 5.0 bandwidth when installed there.

What are the board dimensions and mounting standard for case compatibility?

The board measures 30.5 by 24.4 centimetres and follows the ATX mounting pattern.

How is the I/O shield fitted, and which step is often missed?

The separate metal I/O panel must be pressed into the case cut-out from the inside before the motherboard is lowered into place; many builders forget to seat it first.
