Z690 ATX Board for 12th Gen Builds
This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z690 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket to support 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It targets enthusiasts assembling a high-performance desktop platform.
Dual-Channel DDR5 Up to 6400 OC and 128 GB
The board runs dual-channel DDR5 memory with a rated overclock of 6400 MHz and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. This memory specification is the primary factor when matching kits to the platform.
Three PCIe x16 Slots and 2.5 Gbps LAN
Two top slots connect to the CPU with PCIe 5.0 at x16 or x8/x8, while a third chipset slot provides PCIe 3.0 x4. Six SATA III ports, ten USB 3.2 ports including a 20 Gbps Type-C, Realtek ALC4080 7.1 audio and Intel I225V 2.5 Gbps LAN complete the I/O.

Questions about this item
What does the DDR5 6400 (OC) MHz rating mean once the board is built?
It indicates the memory controller can run DDR5 modules at 6400 MHz when overclocked; actual speed depends on the CPU and memory kit used.
How does the PCIe 5.0 support on the first two x16 slots affect graphics or storage bandwidth?
The CPU-linked slots deliver PCIe 5.0 x16 or dual x8 lanes, so a single GPU or two GPUs can use the full 5.0 bandwidth ceiling.
What physical space and mounting pattern does this ATX board need in a chassis?
Standard ATX dimensions with nine mounting holes and a rear I/O shield cutout; ensure the case supports ATX motherboards.
