ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING DDR5 (WiFi)
ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WiFi
ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi puts 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors at center stage, with beefed-up power delivery, cooling, cutting-edge connectivity options, and a range of accoutrements that effortlessly propel builds to maximum performance. This series flagship is your ticket to next-level gaming.
Power Stages
18+1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package, delivering power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors can take full advantage of.
Alloy Chokes and Durable Capacitors
High-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
8+8 Pin ProCool II Power Connector
ASUS ProCool II connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with power supply cable wiring. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation, and low electrical impedance helps prevent hotspots and bolsters reliability.
Digi+ Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultrasmooth and clean power delivery to the CPU.
Eight-Layer PCB
Multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
PCIe Performance
With one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot delivering twice the speed of PCIe 4.0, two additional slots with PCIe 4.0, and two more 4.0 slots available on the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 Card, ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi leverages mighty CPU and chipset bandwidth to deliver the latest data transfers, Intel NVM Express® RAID, and high-capacity drive options that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs.
DDR5 Overclocking Strength – ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi breaks performance limits with a stacked suite of overclocking parameters for both high-speed kits and entry-level memory modules that have a locked power management integrated circuit (PMIC):

- A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing users to sidestep 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 special 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.
