Take your gaming and content-creation experiences to the next level with the ASUS ROG Z690-I GAMING WIFI LGA 1700 Mini-ITX Motherboard to pack a ton of power into your compact desktop computer build. Supporting 12th generation Intel LGA 1700 socket processors and the Z690 chipset, which takes advantage of the large PCIe 5.0 data bandwidth, this mini-ITX motherboard is designed to take on intensive workloads, high-end games, and more. Up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM, reaching 6400 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across two memory slots to improve the system’s multitasking capabilities. At the same time, its PCIe 5.0 x16 slot can accommodate powerful graphics cards and other expansions. Installing a CPU with integrated graphics allows you to use the HDMI 2.1 port with a compatible 4K monitor. In addition to having two PCIe 4.0 M.2 solid-state drive slots, this motherboard has four SATA III drive headers with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations.

The rear panel features two Thunderbolt 4 ports that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with daisy chained devices such as storage drives and monitors. There are also two 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, three 5 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. A USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, which transfers up to 20 Gb/s, may be added through a compatible front panel with the available header. Use the built-in 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E capabilities to transfer up to 2.4 Gb/s with compatible tri-band wireless networks and enjoy incredibly fast online games, live stream broadcasts, and more. Alternatively, you can use the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port to connect to compatible wired networks and high-speed devices. Other features include SupremeFX ALC4080 audio with the LED-illuminated connectors and Savitech SV3H712 AMP for crystal clear, detailed 7.1-channel surround sound. You can customize your computing experience using the addressable RGB lighting headers to customize various effects to match your mood, style, and game. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the ROG Z690-I GAMING WIFI’s features.
