| Product features |
-
Flexibility
Wide-ranging management is at the heart of the ASUS Prime series. The Prime Z690 motherboard features flexible tools for tuning every aspect of your system, allowing performance tuning to perfectly match the way you work to maximize performance.
-
Comprehensive energy efficiency
The Power Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes power savings with Away mode, a smart setting that creates an extreme power-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.
-
Flexible controls for air and liquid cooling
ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides complete control over fans and an all-in-one (AiO) cooler. Whether you are cooling with air or water, the auto-tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with one click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that drops all fan speeds below the default minimum to keep your system quiet when you're running light tasks. The AiO fans and cooler can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
-
Precise digital power control
Digi's Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) provides real-time control over voltage drop by automatically switching frequency and settings for energy efficiency. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for maximum stability and performance.
-
UEFI BIOS
The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, setup and tune your system. It offers smartly simplified options for PC DIY beginners as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.
-
Advanced setup for serious tweeters
The intuitive Advanced mode offered through UEFI lets you take full control. The built-in search function makes it easy to find options, and the various advanced features allow you to intelligently make nuanced adjustments so that you can dial in the performance just the way you want it.
-
Quick and easy setup
Ez mode displays important settings and statistics, and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings, all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.
-
Intuitive graphic fan control
Refine individual fan settings by simply dragging a curve with the mouse.
-
Aura On/Off Mode (Stealth)
Easily enable or disable Aura RGB lighting for a subdued aesthetic.
-
Cooling
The Prime Z690 series is designed with multiple built-in heatsinks and a set of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
-
M.2 Heater
An M.2 heatsink takes care of both M.2 slots, preventing the throttling that can occur with M.2 during long transfers.
-
VRM heatsinks and high quality thermal pads
Two massive VRM heatsinks and high-quality thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling efficiency.
-
Cooling by design
The Prime Z690 series features comprehensive cooling control that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS.
-
ProCool connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's connection to the PSU with 4-pin 8-pin connectors that deliver 12 volts of power directly to the CPUs. Each socket has solid pins that can handle more current than hollow pin connectors.
-
Adjustment
The Prime Z690 Series adds nuanced details that enhance every experience, from exclusive codecs that deliver impeccable sound quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a unique personal look.
-
Audio
The combined functions of the motherboard ensure high-quality sound. Smart design and premium hardware create sound quality unlike anything you've ever experienced.
-
Audio shielding
It separates the analog/digital signal domains, greatly reducing multipath interference.
-
Separate layer for left and right tracks
Ensures minimal crossover between audio tracks.
-
Premium audio capacitors
Premium parts deliver an immersive sound signature, with exceptional fidelity.
-
World class power circuit design
Exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect the motherboard from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or poor-quality power supplies.
-
Preventing short circuit damage
Built-in resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM memory to protect the lifespan of your system and connected devices.
-
3 times more corrosion resistance for greater durability
Corrosion-resistant rear I/O panels made of stainless steel bonded with chromium oxide have three times the life of conventional panels.
