AORUS Elite AX DDR4 V2 for LGA 1700

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z690 chipset to support 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core processors in the LGA 1700 socket. It provides four 288-pin slots for dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB. The board includes six SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support.

Power delivery with 16+1+2 phases

A 16+1+2 twin hybrid phase design uses 70 A power stages and tantalum polymer capacitors to supply the CPU. Shielded memory routing reduces electrical interference between the processor and the four DIMM slots. This layout aims to keep voltage stable during heavy workloads.

Fully covered MOSFET heatsinks

The thermal design places high-coverage heatsinks over the MOSFETs to dissipate heat from the power stages. Onboard Intel WIFI 6E 802.11ax and 2.5 GbE LAN handle networking without extra cards. RGB LED lighting is integrated on the board surface.

Questions about this item

How does the 16+1+2 phase power design with 70 A power stages translate to stability when a 13th Gen Intel Core CPU is under load?

The twin hybrid digital VRM delivers 16 Vcore phases plus auxiliary phases, each rated at 70 A, so the board can supply clean current to high-wattage 13th Gen processors without throttling.

What does the PCIe 5.0 slot actually limit in real use when only PCIe 4.0 graphics cards and SSDs are installed?

The slot runs at PCIe 5.0 electrical speeds but will operate at the device's native PCIe 4.0 rate, so current GPUs and drives see no bandwidth loss.

Will the 12.0" x 9.6" ATX board fit in a standard mid-tower case with the CPU cooler clearance I have?

The board follows the 12.0" x 9.6" ATX footprint, so any case that accepts ATX motherboards will accommodate it; verify your cooler height against the case specification.
