ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI

ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi puts 12th Gen Intel Core processors at center stage, with beefed-up power delivery, cooling, cutting-edge connectivity options, and a range of accoutrements that effortlessly propel builds to maximum performance. This series flagship is your ticket to next-level gaming.

POWER DESIGN

Digital power control and an array of power stages provide the muscle needed to control the latest Intel CPUs.

POWER STAGES

18+1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package, delivering power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors can take full advantage of.

PCIe Performance

With one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot delivering twice the speed of PCIe 4.0, two additional slots with PCIe 4.0, and two more 4.0 slots available on the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 Card, ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi leverages mighty CPU and chipset bandwidth to deliver the latest data transfers, Intel NVM Express RAID, and high-capacity drive options that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi breaks performance limits with a stacked suite of overclocking parameters for both high-speed kits and entry-level memory modules that have a locked power management integrated circuit (PMIC):

• A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing users to sidestep the default 1.1-volt limit and push frequency and timings to the max.
  
• Ordinarily, a restricted PMIC that has been unlocked requires the system to be fully power-cycled each time memory voltage is adjusted. ROG motherboards leverage special onboard hardware and firmware to cleverly work around this irksome limitation, enabling voltage adjustments to be applied through the same soft system-reset process employed for previous generations of DDR memory.
  

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

A specially illuminated acrylic display on the I/O cover gives the illusion that the circuit board is visible beneath an RGB ROG logo. Meanwhile, a pattern of grids and slashes, touches of mirror finish, and a leather ROG logo deliver a variety of carefully crafted surface textures. Last but not least, a distinctive lighting pattern built into the M.2 Combo-Sink finishes off a colorful tour of the ROG worldview.
