Connect a wide range of graphics and utility cards with one PCIe 5.0 x16 and two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports allow you to quickly transfer data with speeds up to 5 and 10 Gb/s, respectively. USB 2.0 Type-A ports allow you to use peripherals like mice and keyboards while Bluetooth 5.2 provides wireless support for select devices. A single USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port unlocks support for power-hungry devices like mass storage arrays and various interfaces. Connect to your home network and compete online with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology or use the onboard Realtek 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port if you prefer a wired connection. Experience immersive audio with Realtek High Definition sound backed by Hi-Res Audio certification. Power Design Designed to ensure optimal performance with Intel 12th Gen processors, the Z690 AORUS ELITE AX uses a unique VRM layout designed to unleash the full potential of your CPU. Multi-core CPU performance uses 16 VCORE phases with a 90A Power Stage, one VCCGT phase with 60A Power stage for integrated graphics, and two CVVAUX phases with 70A DrMOS to stabilize power for CPU integrated PCIe and memory controllers. A single PCIe 5.0 slot provides up to 128 GB/s bandwidth while the 6-layer PCB offers efficient dissipation. Thermal Solutions Keep your components nice and cool while under extreme thermal pressure with integrated cooling solutions that include a Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink, 5 W/mK Thermal Pad, Enlarged Thermal Guard, M.2 Thermal Guard II, and 2x Copper PCB. The MOSFET Heatsink offers a 2x large surface area and is constructed from a single piece with various inlets allowing proper airflow. The M.2 heatsinks and thermal pads reduce heat buildup within your storage devices. Connectivity Options and Enhancements GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 Motherboard Connect to your network wirelessly with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology or use the integrated 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port. USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 offers data transfer speeds up to 20 Gb/s, allowing you to use demanding devices like mass storage arrays and more. The Realtek ALC1220-VB Codec provides immersive sound backed by Hi-Res Audio certification.
