AI OVERCLOCKING

ROG AI Overclocking is an intelligent utility that helps you get the most out of your build by automatically profiling your CPU and cooling system to predict optimal voltage and frequency settings.

Accessible via the AI Suite software in Windows or directly through the UEFI, the intuitive AI Overclocking user interface enables users of all levels. A range of customizable settings are available for seasoned overclockers, and an auto-tuning option is available for beginners.

AI OVERCLOCKING AT A GLANCE

Designed by experts
At the heart of AI Overclocking is a proprietary algorithm developed by ROG R&D engineers who worked with world-renowned overclockers to create a tool for users of all levels.

 

Predictive edge
An algorithm analyzes your CPU and cooling system, then it leverages that data to intelligently predict optimal settings. Custom-tailored frequencies and voltages are automatically applied to perfect the clock-speed optimization process.

LEADING CONNECTIVITIY

ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 delivers wickedly fast connectivity for supersmooth online experiences and ultrafast data transfers. Add alongside those perks, we've managed to cram in an advanced audio solution that allows you to pick out the smallest cues and home in on your opponents.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the Strix Z690 lineup breaks performance limits by providing a stacked suite of overclocking parameters 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. ROG motherboards leverage 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.

 

PCIe Performance

With four strategically placed M.2 slots, ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming WiFi leverages mighty CPU and chipset bandwidth to deliver lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 data transfers, Intel NVM Express® RAID, and high-capacity drive options that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs.

Perfect

I wasn't sure what Z690 Motherboard to buy so got this one, This one performs very well, lots of features, never misses a beat, Assuming bios is updated & not first time its doing a ram check after that. Bios updates require multiple restarts because it updates a lot more than just the bios. Protip for those who don't like to read manuals: You should be using A2 & B2 slots for ram with just 2 sticks (A2 for just 1). Turns out 12th gen CPU's have TPM build in for windows 11 so you don't need to buy the ASUS (yes Asus as it fits) TPM-SPI TPM module, I myself still did & haven't notice any difference between the 2. While the motherboard itself...view more

Good motherboard, but a glaring caveat

This motherboard is easily the most expensive I have ever purchased. With that in mind, I would expect it to work flawlessly. This is the case for the most part, and for that I give it great marks. My concern with this motherboard is that RAM speeds in the A1 + B1 channels do not exceed 4000mhz (using 4800mhz RAM). and attempting to raise it higher results in a failed boot, opening to BIOS. This can be fixed by placing RAM in the A2 + B2 channels, which works when you only have 2 sticks of RAM, but these kinds of solutions are pretty pathetic for such an expensive board. Online forums have shown that other people have had the same issue with...view more

LEADING CONNECTIVITIY

ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 delivers wickedly fast connectivity for supersmooth online experiences and ultrafast data transfers. Add alongside those perks, we've managed to cram in an advanced audio solution that allows you to pick out the smallest cues and home in on your opponents.

DDR5 Overclocking Strength - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the Strix Z690 lineup breaks performance limits by providing a stacked suite of overclocking parameters 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. ROG motherboards leverage 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.

 

PCIe Performance
