Description
ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS takes all the essential elements of Intel processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an improved power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard offers rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. Aesthetically, TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS sports the TUF Gaming logo and incorporates simple geometric design elements to reflect the dependability and stability that defines the TUF Gaming series.
DrMOS The onboard VRMs feature 14+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 12th Gen Intel Core processors demand. The power stages are each rated to handle 80 amperes to provide stable performance for current and future Intel processors.
Six-layer PCB design Multiple PCB layers optimize heat management for critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.
ProCool connectors Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.
Digi+ VRM The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.
Enlarged VRM heatsink The extensive surface area of the massive heatsink covers the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation.
Enlarged PCH heatsink An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes performance and heat dissipation.
Three M.2 slots with heatsinks Three out of four M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks, keeping M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
ASUS enhanced memory profile TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS motherboard enhances DDR5 performance by providing overclocking solutions for not only high-speed kits, but even entry-level memory modules that have a locked power management IC (PMIC). A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing you to step past 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. TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS motherboard leverages 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. For users new to memory overclocking, TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS motherboard includes the exclusive ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.
Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 The four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 devices 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 fastest data transfer speeds.
PCIe 5.0 The 12th Gen Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
Front USB port A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of peripherals. TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that delivers increased bandwidth and transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
TUF LANGuard TUF LANGuard integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and excellent surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.
Stainless steel back I/O panel TUF GAMING motherboards have a corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a lifespan that's three times longer than traditional panels.
Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost with speeds that are up to 2.5x faster than standard Ethernet connections. This translates to incredibly fast file transfers, low-lag online gaming, and high-res video streaming.
Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or during calls.
Outshine the competition A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. TUF GAMING Z690 series features edge lighting to enhance its rugged look, and now the PCH heatsink gets RGB lighting to take the style even further. ASUS Aura offers full RGB control with a variety of functional presets for built-in LEDs as well as third-party strips you can connect to onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
