ASUS ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WIFI DDR5 PCIe 5.0 Micro ATX Motherboard - LGA 1700

ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi is the premiere choice for enthusiasts who enjoy building compact mATX setups. Premium-grade power delivery, cooling, and the latest networking standards have been packed in to ride alongside DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, unleashing the full force of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. And layered on top, there’s a stack of ASUS-exclusive intelligent controls to optimize every aspect of system performance.

WiFi 6E (802.11 ax)
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. It provides up to three times the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band and up to seven 160 MHz bands to deliver ultrafast wireless networking speeds and improved capacity as well as better performance in dense wireless environments.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the Strix Z690 lineup breaks performance limits by providing a stacked suite of overclocking parameters 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. ROG 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.

New to memory overclocking? We've got you covered.
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

PCIe® 4.0-Ready
With three strategically placed M.2 slots, ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi leverages mighty CPU and chipset bandwidth to deliver lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 data transfers, Intel NVM Express® RAID, and high-capacity drive options that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs.

SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software that provides superior audio. In ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming WiFi, SupremeFX features the ALC4080 codec to increase playback resolution from 192 kHz to 384 kHz across all channels. The front-panel output is streamed through a highly integrated Savitech amplifier that’s capable of driving of a wide variety of gaming headsets and high-fidelity headphones.
