hi everyone we'll be looking at our brand new z690 motherboard the new king of gaming
these boards are designed to push your 12th gen processors to the limit and bring out the best
possible gaming performance what makes aorus reign supreme robust power design
overkilling vrm and ssd thermal solutions and the exclusive ddr5 overclocking capability
the power design has always been aorus major forte now the whole z690 lineup will be favored
by the true direct power design which guarantees lower vrm temperature and better power efficiency
the majority of aorus z690 motherboards also come with premium tantalum polymer capacitors which can
effectively reduce any ripple effect promising more stable power delivery under heavy loads
the entire aorus z690 motherboard lineup features at least 16 phases of power like the z690 oris
extreme you can see a whopping 23 phase power phase design we also pushed the power that could
be delivered within each phase even higher now you can have up to 105 amp power delivery by a
single phase of power all of these ensure the aorus z690 motherboard fully support the new
gen processors we were the first and still the only brand that adopts finn type vrm heatsinks
some said it's overkill but we assume that nobody will say no to greater system stability with lower
vrm temperature and higher power efficiency as mentioned earlier the 12th gen cpus are power
hungry resulting in more heat generated and higher temperature under loads that's why we continue
to upgrade our exclusive vrm technology to fins array 3 which features larger thin surface area
compared to the previous generation the aorus z690 motherboards employ gigantic m.2 heatsinks
we found that with the thermal guard in place the m.2 ssds did not throttle even under stress test
plenty of ddr5 overclocking functions are also worth mentioning on the ora c690 motherboard
lineup the first is ddr5 auto booster all you need to do is enter the bios click enable and that's it
now the board will automatically overclock your native module to 5000 megahertz under loads for
gaming or content creation with slightly more performance next is the ddr5 xmp booster as the
name suggests it can boost your native module to the xmp module or push your xmp module to a higher
speed just enter the bios find ddr5 xmp booster and you will see a series of xmp profiles which
are already built in on the board just choose the profile you like save it and your ddr5
memory will turn into xmp modules which deliver you better performance without any extra cost
if you're an oc expert we also prepared something more advanced for you
go to the advanced memory setting for full control of your memory modules you can even
come up with your own xmp profile here if you successfully manage to attain remarkable ddr5
results please also let us know and we will be quite happy to share with our community
is the rog strix z690i gaming wi-fi motherboard and it packs quite a punch running intel's
latest lga 1700 12-gen cpu while measuring 6.7 by 6.7 inches this mini itx size board
integrates asus rog's latest triple decker heatsink design for better cooling and still
manages to pull off double sided heatsinks for each m.2 slot as well and for your convenience
both have the nifty q-lite system for m.2 installation space optimization is super
important for small form factor builds so for the first time asus is introducing the rog
front panel sata card that provides easy access to route the case front panel wires
but also integrates for setup ports as well and because we aim to break all limits with
rog 690 boards not only z690 is pcie 5.0 available but the ddr5 ram now carries a
comprehensive overclocking tool allowing you to push past the 1.1 volt pm ic restrictions
additionally game with confidence with intel's wi-fi 6e or used 2.5 gig ethernet port
enjoy endless connectivity options with 7 usb type a ports and 2 thunderbolt 4 rated usb type-c ports
in rog-6 z690i gaming mini itx board this is truly the small form factor enthusiast's dream
board for those who dare to push past the boundaries the rog z690 gaming motherboard
get the most out of the 12 gen intel core processors with the msi mpg z690 motherboard
series this revolutionary platform features the latest pci express gen 5 interface and support for
ddr5 memory modules the mpg z690 motherboards with ddr5 support are capable of extreme memory speeds
up to 666 megahertz you can also choose for a ddr4 model with memory speeds up to 5200 megahertz
these motherboards offer an extremely strong direct power vrm design with up to 18 75 amp
smart power stages the powerful cooling solution features a heat pipe design and dedicated
choke pads combined with the 2 ounce thick and copper server grade pcb it offers maximum heat
dissipation for carefree overclocking and extreme workloads the mpg z690 motherboards have up to
five m.2 slots all of which are equipped with m.2 shield frozr for both cooling and protection
multiple models even offer a dual sided cooling solution for the best storage performance
the screwless easy and the two clip makes the ssd installation process
easier than ever before intel 2.5 gigabit lan and intel wifi 6e provides you with
the highest transfer speeds and the lowest latency whether you're using a cable or not
transfer massive files to an external device in the blink of an eye using lightning usb 20g
the best for the pro the brand new z590 ores motherboard lineup is here pro power design
advanced thermal system and superior memory overclocking ability these powerful features
will elevate your gaming experience to a whole new level this is our flagship z590 horse extreme
this model is equipped with the most phases of power in the industry
twenty plus one phases of true power design each face of power can deliver up to 100 amps
of current it's already support the latest intel 11th gen processors like the i9 11900k with ease
you might ask do you really need that many phases of power what benefit does it have
think of it like this here we can see one should be working overtime all by itself now imagine
that workload is the power delivery and the number of people is the phase count of power
as more chibis team up and fight on everyone's workload will become easier similarly this means
that the temperature of each power phase will also be lower thereby ensuring your pc components stay
cool and last longer another important part of the or z590 motherboard is the advanced thermal design
even now horse is still the only motherboard brand that uses thermal fins instead of typical aluminum
extrusion for vrm cooling by comparing the aluminum extrusion and the thermal fin design you
can easily tell the huge surface area difference between these two kinds of thermal modules
the thermal fin design features a 300 larger surface area for heat dissipation
and it also makes the vrm temperature slower that is a massive difference between the two
for better thermal conductivity we coated the whole thermal module with nano carbon
using an exclusive technology we call direct touch 2. it ensures that the heat generated from the vrm
can be rapidly conducted by heat pipes anticipated via thermal fins on the top very quickly we have
also added several design changes to boost your computer's performance for example to boost
memory speed to the max the or z590 motherboard utilizes a daisy chain design which ensures the
shortest transmission path and the least signal interference moreover we hide the memory routing
inside the pcb this memory shielded routing design prevents electric noise interference from other ic
parts on the board effectively as a result with these two advanced memory designs high clock
memory operation will be easier and more stable than ever lightning fast speed is also a feature
on the orc 590 motherboard series now the aura z590 series also provides 100 pcie gen 4 support
thereby enhancing the new generation of gen 4 ssds and the latest rtx 30 series graphics cards
performance greatly you can also find the latest thunderbolt 4 features on the ors z590 extreme
this features 40 gigabits of bandwidth and is compatible with a series of thunderbolt devices
like a premium monitor for high speed external storage
best for the pro bringing performance to a whole new level
equipped with save the art features and the latest technology if you're looking for a powerful
motherboard to meet your professional needs then the orc 590 is definitely the best choice
