ASUS Z690 motherboards feature exclusive software and firmware that leverage machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enrich the user experience. On select motherboards, the latest ASUS AI spans four pillars of performance: overclocking, cooling, networking and onboard audio. In particular, AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling system to predict the optimal configuration that pushes each system to its limits. All ASUS AI is designed to make advanced tweaks and optimization more accessible to both new recruits and savvy PC DIY veterans.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength

ASUS Z690 motherboards enhance DDR5 performance by providing overclocking options for not only high-speed kits, but even entry-level memory modules that have a locked power management IC (PMIC).

  • A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing you to step past 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. ASUS Z690 motherboards leverage 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.
  • DDR5 Stability & Compatibility

    ASUS worked with worldwide memory partners to test and optimize DRAM performance and stability to ensure complete confidence in our products through superb compatibility. Each motherboard’s product support page contains an extensive list of DDR5 memory modules that are guaranteed to be compatible with that mode.

  • Teamed Power Stages

    ASUS Z690 motherboards utilize teamed power-stages and high-quality components to fuel the latest 12th Gen Intel CPUs. Even at entry level, the power solutions are geared to deliver sustained performance, and through the lineup those credentials are strategically scaled up to push boundaries and set new standards.

  • Cooler by Design

    To ensure system stability for 12th Gen Intel Core processors, ASUS Z690 motherboards employ large VRM and chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area and mass. That same philosophy also extends to onboard M.2 heatsinks, which grant ample cooling for high-performance PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 NVMe storage.

ROG True Voltician

For truly advanced performance optimization, ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme and Apex include ROG True Voltician, a miniature oscilloscope connected to an onboard USB header displays waveforms for a CPU’s Vcore, VCCIN, and System Agent rails. It can also be used to monitor a video card or power supply, and users can even run the True Voltician software on one PC while they get readings from another.

Dominate with the Best

Powered by ASUS

Powered by ASUS is for those who accept only perfection. ASUS’ world-class research-and-development teams are devoted to their company’s motto — In Search of Incredible. Their pursuit of perfection is proven by the 3000+ awards they receive annually. Then, it’s over to us at PCSpecialist - creating dream machines unavailable elsewhere, from small-form-factor dynamos to giant liquid-cooled beasts. Powered by ASUS means exclusivity. It means performance. It means technology as a work of art. Why consider anything less?
