- 8-pin Solid Pin CPU Power Connector GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice bandwidth than the current PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed & maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance. Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5333 M Hz & Beyond GIGABYTE is offering a tested & proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333 M Hz & beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable & that the XMP function is activated & enabled on their GIGABYTE motherboard. Hybrid Cores Optimization With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new " CPU Upgrade " in BIOS profiles to meet different users&153; scenarios by adjusting P-Core & E-Core activation & voltage policy. M.2 Thermal Guard GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal Guard With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling & bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue. Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool & quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan & pump, & users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface. First adopter on 2.5 Gb E LAN onboard 2X Faster than ever
- Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 Gb E network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1 Gb E networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.
- Support Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet Connecting the Future
- USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C The World's Next Universal Connector The USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C is a new reversible connector that is loaded with useful features such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 support for 10 Gb/s transfer speed. Powered by the Intel USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 controller, this little port provides the best USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C experience possible. HDMI 2.0 for 4K UHD Display & HDCP 2.2 supported HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4, offers 18 Gb/s of bandwidth " nearly twice that of the previous generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio (which most movies are shot in), offering the best visual experience for viewers. High-End Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution & high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers. Audio Noise Guard GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board&153;s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. RGB FUSION 2.0 Z690 motherboards feature RGB FUSION 2.0 to offer lighting effected options & customized settings with outstanding aesthetics, & able to let enthusiasts building a stylish & unique gaming PC. Refreshed BIOS The BIOS is essential for users during initial setup to allow for the most optimal settings. With a new GUI & easier to use functionalities, GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience while setting up their new system. Easy Tune GIGABYTE's Easy Tune is a simple & easy-to-use interface that allows users to fine-tune their system settings or adjust system & memory clocks & voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, giving an added performance boost when you need it the most. System Information Viewer GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you access to your current system status. Monitor components such as the clocks & processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high or record your system's behavior; these are the possibilities of the System Information Viewer. Q-Flash Plus Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory & graphics card. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don&153;t need to install the CPU, memory & graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download & save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button & you&153;re good to go! Solid Pin Power Connectors Z690 motherboards feature solid plated ATX 12V 8pin power connectors to offer a stable power supply during CPU overloading. Solid Pin Power connector advantages
- Larger contact area for electricity
- More metal quantity to sustain higher power & generated heat
- Ultra durable & longer lifespan\n\n\n\n Internal I/ONumber of M.2 (M) slots 2 Front panel connector Yes 12V power connector Yes Supported storage drive interfaces M.2, SATA IIIUSB 2.0 connectors 2USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) connectors 1TPM connector Yes Serial port headers 1S/PDIF out connector Yes Parallel connector Yes Number of SATA III connectors 4 Number of Parallel ATA connectors 1 Number of chassis fan connectors 3 Front panel audio connector Yes CPU fan connector Yes ATX Power connector (24-pin) Yes RGB LED pin header Yes Technical details Motherboard chipset family Intel Motherboard chipset Intel Z690 Express Serial port headers 1PC health monitoring Fan, Temperature, Voltage HDMI version 2.1 Motherboard form factormicro ATXComponent for PCAudio Audio output channels 7.1 channels Performance Supported storage drive types HDD & SSDWindows operating systems supported Windows 10 x 64 Motherboard chipset family Intel Motherboard chipset Intel Z690 Express RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10PC health monitoring Fan, Temperature, Voltage Audio output channels 7.1 channels Motherboard form factormicro ATXComponent for PCProcessor Processor manufacturer Intel Compatible processor series Intel&174; Core&132;&162; i 3, Intel Core i 5, Intel Core i 7, Intel Core i 9 Maximum number of SMP processors 1 Processor socket LGA 1700 Memory Number of memory slots 4 Memory slots type DIMMSupported memory types DDR4-SDRAMMemory channels Dual-channel ECCYes Non-ECCYes Supported memory clock speeds 2133, 2400, 2666, 2800, 2933, 3000, 3200, 3300, 3333, 3400, 3466, 3600, 3666, 3733, 3800, 3866, 4000, 4133, 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 4933, 5000, 5133, 5333 MHz Maximum internal memory 128 GBUnbuffered memory Yes Storage controllers Supported storage drive types HDD & SSDSupported storage drive interfaces M.2, SATA IIIRAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10RAID support Yes Graphics Maximum resolution 4096 x 2304 pixels HDCPYes Rear panel I/O ports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A ports quantity 3USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Type-C ports quantity 1 Display Port version 1.2USB 2.0 ports quantity 2VGA (D-Sub) ports quantity 1PS/2 ports quantity 1HDMI version 2.1HDMI ports quantity 1 Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports 1 Display Ports quantity 2 Network Ethernet LANYes Wi-Fi No Ethernet interface type 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Features Windows operating systems supported Windows 10 x 64 Motherboard chipset family Intel Motherboard chipset Intel Z690 Express PC health monitoring Fan, Temperature, Voltage Audio output channels 7.1 channels Motherboard form factormicro ATXComponent for PCExpansion slots Number of M.2 (M) slots 2PCI Express x 1 (Gen 3.x) slots 2PCI Express x 16 (Gen 4.x) slots 1BIOSBIOS type UEFI AMIClear CMOS jumper Yes BIOS memory size 256 Mbit ACPI version 5.0 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) version 2.7 Desktop Management Interface (DMI) version 2.7 Video Maximum resolution 4096 x 2304 pixels HDCPYes Software Windows operating systems supported Windows 10 x 64 Drivers included Yes Bundled software Norton Internet Security Realtek Gaming LAN Bandwidth Control Utility Weight & dimensions Width 244 mm Depth 244 mm Packaging content Drivers included Yes Cables included SATABundled software Norton Internet Security Realtek Gaming LAN Bandwidth Control Utility\n\n\n\n
