The new king of gaming platform continues the legendary AORUS bloodline with the most robust power delivery and dominant thermal design, glorified with the complete memory overclocking technology to crown your PC with the best Alder Lake’s performance in all its gaming glory. Features- Supports 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Series Processors- Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs- Direct 16+1+2 Digital VRM Design with 70A Power Stage* and Tantalum Polymer Capacitor- Shielded Memory Routing to Avoid Interference- Fully Covered Thermal Design with High Coverage MOSFET Heatsinks- AMP-UP Audio with ALC1220 and WIMA Audio Capacitors- Fast 2.5GbE LAN with Bandwidth Management- 4x Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 with Enlarged Thermal Guards- SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen2x2 TYPE-C® delivers up to 20Gb/s transfer speeds- RGB FUSION 2.0 with Multi-Zone Addressable LED Light Show Design, Support Addressable LED & RGB LED Strips- Smart Fan 6 Features Multiple Temperature Sensors , Hybrid Fan Headers with FAN STOP- Q-Flash Plus Update BIOS without Installing the CPU, Memory and Graphics Card PCIe 5.0 DesignGIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices which are expected to experience double bandwidth than the current PCIe 4.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance. DDR4 XMPAORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS otherboard. Fully Covered MOSFET HeatsinkTMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design. TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance. Hybrid Cores OptimizationWith new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new \" CPU Upgrade \" in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy. 2X Faster Than EverAdoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience. Connecting the Future - USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C®Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design which is doubled the performance than previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. Through the USB Type-C® connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
