Pro Art Z690-Creator Wi Fi enhances 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 & push frequency & 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. Pro Art Z690-Creator Wi Fi leverages onboard hardware & 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. For users new to memory overclocking, Pro Art Z690' Creator Wi Fi
Includes:: the exclusive ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit & then presents optimized frequency, timing & voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance. Intelligent Optimization Pro Art Z690-Creator Wi Fi offers simple & flexible tools that enhance almost every aspect of your content-creation system, giving you the fast, intuitive control needed for efficient workflow.
