Compact Z690 platform for 12th Gen Intel

This Mini ITX board fits the LGA 1700 socket and supports 12th Gen Core processors with dual-channel DDR4 up to 64 GB. It provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, four SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 sockets for PCIe 4.0 x4 storage. Rear I/O includes 2.5 GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6 AX201, Bluetooth 5.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and video outputs for CPUs with integrated graphics.

10+2+1 phase digital VRM with 105A stages

The 10+2+1 phase digital VRM uses 105A power stages on a 10-layer PCB to deliver stable current during extended workloads. This design keeps voltage regulation tight when all cores run at high frequency for long periods, reducing throttling risk in a small chassis. The board also supports memory speeds up to 5333 MT/s OC for sustained bandwidth.

Advanced thermal guards and Smart Fan 6

Fins Array II heatsinks and Thermal Guards III cover the VRM and M.2 slots to dissipate heat without large fans. Smart Fan 6 adjusts fan curves based on multiple temperature sensors, keeping noise low during typical desktop use while providing headroom for heavy loads. The 10-layer PCB further spreads heat across the board.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 10+2+1 phase VRM with 105A power stages produce under sustained load?

The 10-layer PCB and Fins Array II thermal guards spread heat from the digital VRM, while Smart Fan 6 lets you tune fan curves to keep temperatures in check during all-day workloads.

Which cooler mounting hardware is required for the LGA 1700 socket on this board?

Only coolers that include or offer a dedicated LGA 1700 mounting kit will fit the socket on this motherboard.

Can I keep using my existing DDR4 modules with the two 288-pin slots on this Z690 board?

Yes, the board runs dual-channel DDR4 up to 64 GB and supports a wide range of overclocked speeds from 3466 MT/s to 5333 MT/s with compatible kits.
