-
DrMOS
The onboard VRMs feature 14 1 DrMOS power stages that combine high- and low-frequency MOSFETs and drivers in a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 12th generation Intel Core processors demand. Each of the power stages is rated at 80 amps to ensure stable performance for current and future Intel processors.
-
Six-layer PCB design
The PCB's multiple layers optimize thermal management for critical components, providing more room to push processors beyond stock speeds.
-
ProCool connectors
Compared to traditional power inlets, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to strict specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hot spots and connector damage.
-
Digi VRM
Digi's integrated voltage regulation module (VRM) is one of the best in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.
-
Three M.2 slots with heatsinks
Three of the four M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks, keeping M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
-
Comprehensive fan control
TUF GAMING Z690 motherboards feature comprehensive fan control that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 4 utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.
-
DDR4 OC 5333
Advanced trace routing design provides the latest Intel processors with improved access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps the memory signal paths through the different layers of the PCB to reduce the path distance, and adds shielding zones that greatly reduce crossover.
-
Four PCIe 4.0 M.2
The four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 drives and also provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance potential. Create a RAID configuration with up to four PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the highest data transfer speeds.
-
PCIe 5.0
12th Gen Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it reliable enough to handle new data-intensive tasks. PCIe 5.0 brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward compatible CEM connectors for embedding cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
-
Front USB port
A full range of USB ports support high-end peripheral-laden platforms, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connector that delivers data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
-
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
Advanced USB support provides connections to a wide range of peripherals. The TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port on the rear I/O panel, which provides increased bandwidth and transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
-
Thunderbolt 4 support
The TUF GAMING Z690 series features Thunderbolt 4 support via a built-in header. With the help of an Intel-certified add-on card, the ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 can also enable two-way speeds of up to 40 Gbps over a single cable. In addition, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to 8K resolution display. It can also provide up to 100W of power to quickly charge devices.
-
Easy DIY Computer
TUF GAMING motherboards are designed to be easy to set up and configure just the way you want - even for novice builders. The TUF GAMING Alliance ecosystem makes it easy to select compatible parts, and Armory Crate software provides Fan Xpert 4 and hardware information and offers full control of two-way AI noise cancellation, RGB lighting and peripheral settings. The TUF GAMING platform gives you the arsenal you need to build and optimize your dream gaming platform, without unnecessary complications.
-
Build with confidence
The TUF GAMING Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure the compatibility of a wide range of parts such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits and more. With the regular addition of new partnerships and components, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even stronger.
-
SafeSlot and SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot to ensure the highest data transfer rates. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal shell added to the PCIe slot to keep the card securely installed. Meanwhile, sturdy ASUS SafeDIMM sleeves support and protect the memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, enabling you to insert your modules quickly, accurately and confidently.
-
ESD Guards
ESD Guards extend component life while preventing ESD damage, providing protection for up to /- 10 kV air discharge and /- 6 kV contact discharge - significantly exceeding the respective industry standards of /- 6 kV and /- 4 kV. Surface mount TVS diodes in a dual in-line package help protect the computer from voltage spikes.
-
DRAM overvoltage protection
Built-in resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to protect the life of your system and connected devices.
-
Stainless steel rear I/O panel
TUF GAMING motherboards feature a corrosion-resistant stainless steel rear I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a life that is three times longer than traditional panels. Thanks to this protective feature, TUF GAMING motherboards passed 72-hour salt mist tests, while other brands only passed 24-hour tests.
-
M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for special tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the M.2 SSD, elegantly eliminating the need for screws.
-
Q-LED
Built-in Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components - processor, RAM, graphics card, storage devices - are functioning normally during startup.
-
Armory Crate
Armory Crate is ASUS exclusive software that gives you centralized control of supported gaming products. From a single, intuitive interface, Armory Crate lets you easily customize RGB lighting and effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unified system lighting effects. It also provides hardware information and settings control for a select and growing number of products, including keyboard and mouse preferences, Fan Xpert 4, and two-way AI noise cancellation, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. Armory Crate even has dedicated product registration and news sections to help you stay in touch with the gaming community.
-

-
Intel Wi-Fi 6
The Intel WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and increases the theoretical peak throughput to a whopping 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it is optimized to work more efficiently on congested networks with highly competitive traffic. Connect your motherboard to the ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the network potential of WiFi 6. The WiFi antenna design has a four-sided positioning that allows for better signal reception and a magnetic base to attach the antenna to the top or side on the computer case.
