GIGABYTE keeps pace with the latest technology trends, providing customers with advanced features. The GIGABYTE Z690 Series motherboards feature an upgraded power solution, the latest storage standards, and outstanding connectivity to optimize performance for gaming. To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance for Intel's new generation CPUs, GIGABYTE Z690 series motherboards are equipped with the best VRM design ever built, using the highest quality components. GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices, which are expected to experience double the bandwidth of current PCIe 4.0 devices. To achieve high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses a low impedance PCB to provide maximum performance. With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE has created two exclusive "CPU Upgrade" BIOS profiles to meet different user scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policies. GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards feature the latest DDR5 architecture and XMP 3.0 capability. The new DDR5 memory technology brings 50% more bandwidth to the platform and drastically increases system performance by implementing Unlocked Native DDR5 Voltage, Xtreme Memory Routing, and a reliable SMD slot. In addition to hardware upgrades, the user-friendly UI provides full functionality to overclock higher with exclusive DDR5 tuning capability. AORUS offers a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 6000MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed M.2 SSDs by dissipating heat. By adopting 2X copper on the PCB inner layer, the components' temperature is lowered by at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super-thin copper heatsink to dissipate heat effectively, due to its high thermal conductivity and lower impedance. Smart Fan 6 ensures the gaming PC maintains its performance while staying cool and quiet, supporting PWM/DC fans and pumps, and allowing users to define fan curves based on temperature sensors via an intuitive user interface. GIGABYTE Z690 Series Motherboards offer ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds with next-generation network and storage connectivity. Adoption of 2.5G LAN provides up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, designed for gamers seeking an ultimate online gaming experience. Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design, performance is doubled compared to the previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2, working 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. Hi-Res Audio certification ensures reproduction of frequencies up to 40kHz or above, guaranteeing the best audio quality. The ALC1220 120dB(A) SNR HD Audio with Smart Headphone Amp automatically detects the impedance of your head-worn audio device, preventing issues such as low volume and distortion. With the new VB series audio controller, stream your voice to the world vibrantly with both front/rear microphone SNR up to 110/114dB(A). GIGABYTE motherboards include helpful software to control every aspect of the motherboard and provide customizable lighting effects. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, users have complete control over the LEDs surrounding the motherboard. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable features product durability and a high-quality manufacturing process, using the best components and reinforcing every slot to make each one solid and durable. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the CPU, memory, and graphics card or enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button.
