Ready for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z690 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It supports 12th and 13th Generation Core, Pentium and Celeron processors. The board is designed for DDR5 memory and provides native PCIe 5.0 support for graphics and storage.

Dual cooler mounting and extensive I/O

Mounting holes accept both LGA 1700 and LGA 1200 cooling brackets, giving flexibility when choosing a CPU cooler. Rear I/O includes HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 for integrated graphics, WiFi 6E, Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with LANGuard, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C header.

Five M.2 slots with one PCIe 5.0

The board offers up to five M.2 slots, including one wired for PCIe 5.0 speeds. A ROG Hyper M.2 card is bundled to add further high-speed storage capacity. This density of fast M.2 connections is the key factor for builds that need multiple high-throughput drives.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the board's top M.2 slot use, and what does that limit in practice?

The primary M.2 slot runs at PCIe 5.0, so the drive installed there is limited to PCIe 5.0 speeds.

What cooler mounting holes does the board provide for LGA 1700 and LGA 1200 brackets?

Dual mounting holes are present, accepting both LGA 1700 and LGA 1200 coolers.

How is the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 card installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCIe slot, secure it with the screw, then connect the M.2 drive to the card's onboard slot.
