Socket LGA 1700 DDR5 motherboard

The GIGABYTE Z690 AERO D is an Extended ATX board built on the Intel Z690 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It accepts 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs and runs dual-channel DDR5 up to 6400 MT/s over four slots. A dedicated LGA 1700 mounting bracket is required for cooler installation.

Creators and high-speed networking

Four M.2 sockets and six SATA 6 Gb/s ports give ample room for NVMe and SATA storage, while twin PCIe 5.0 x16 slots support modern graphics cards. Onboard networking combines a 10 Gbps Marvell AQtion controller with a 2.5 Gbps Intel LAN port and WiFi 6, suiting video editors and data-heavy workflows. Builds that need only a single 1 GbE link or lack an LGA 1700 bracket should consider simpler platforms.

Quad M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4

The chipset provides two M.2 connectors and the CPU provides one more, each wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds with support for 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors. A fourth M.2 slot shares bandwidth with other interfaces, so populating all four may reduce throughput on the shared device.

Highlights

  • Supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors with LGA 1700 socket
  • DDR5 memory up to 6400 MHz overclocked across four slots for 128 GB capacity
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 slots deliver high bandwidth for modern graphics cards
  • Quad M.2 connectors with PCIe 4.0 x4 support fast NVMe storage expansion
  • Dual LAN with 10 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps plus WiFi 6 for versatile networking
