Intel LGA 1700 Z690 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE Z690 AERO G is an ATX board built for Intel Core processors on the LGA 1700 socket. It runs the Intel Z690 chipset and supports 12th and 13th generation CPUs including Pentium Gold and Celeron models. Four 288-pin slots accept dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 128 GB at speeds from 4000 to 6000 MT/s with overclocking.

Creators needing quad M.2 and PCIe 5.0 graphics

Content creators and builders who want four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C will find the layout suited to high-throughput workflows. Users requiring more than two full-speed x16 slots or legacy PCI support should look at a different platform.

128 GB DDR5 and four M.2 slots for heavy workloads

The board comfortably handles 128 GB of DDR5 across four slots and provides four M.2 connectors for 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives. The single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and two chipset-linked x4 slots set the expansion ceiling, while six SATA 6 Gb/s ports cover additional storage.

Highlights

  • Supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • DDR5 memory up to 6000 MT/s across four slots with 128 GB maximum

Questions about this item

Do I need a dedicated LGA 1700 mounting bracket for my CPU cooler to fit this board?

Yes, the board only accepts LGA 1700 cooling brackets, so a dedicated mounting kit is required for any cooler.

Will my PCIe 3.0 x16 add-in cards work in the PCIEX4_1 and PCIEX4_2 slots?

Those two slots are PCI Express 3.0 x16 physical connectors that run at x4 electrical, so PCIe 3.0 cards will function at x4 speed.

How can I confirm the quad M.2 NVMe drives are running at PCIe 4.0 x4 after installation?

Check the BIOS M.2 configuration screen or use a system information tool in the OS to verify each drive shows a PCIe 4.0 x4 link width.
