Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4
THE NEW KING OF GAMING

• Rule supreme with the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 gaming motherboard. It is constructed with innovative features to unleash the full potentials of the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors and the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices. Supercharge connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, 2.5 GbE LAN and USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C. Lags will not hold you back again

Direct Digital VRM Design

• To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance of Intel’s new generation CPU, GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 series is equipped with the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.

GIGABYTE DIRECT VRM DESIGN

• The more advanced manufacturing process and the higher core count on the new generation of CPUs, requires motherboards to utilize a more sophisticated VRM design to make CPUs run at their full potential.
• GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 uses fully DIRECT VRM DESIGN, high quality MOSFETs and tantalum polymer capacitors to achieve higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple and lower temperature than traditional parallel VRM design.

Tantalum Polymer Capacitor

• Lower impedance than regular capacitor to reduce voltage ripple
• Stable capacitance under high temperature
• Mounted right under the CPU area to stabilize CPU voltage during heavy loading

PCIe 5.0 Design

• GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 Motherboards are ready to work with the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices which are expected to experience double bandwidth than the current PCIe 4.0 devices.
• To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.

Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5333 MHz and Beyond*

• GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333 MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.
• * XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.
  Please see the complete validated memory support list. Product features may vary by model.

Single 32GB Support

• The maximum memory capacity on the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 motherboard is 128GB. After Intel updated the memory reference code, a single slot can support up to 32GB.
• Therefore, with populated 2 DIMM per channel on both channel, total memory capacity is 128GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT) platforms.
• For users who always run out of memory capacity, there is more bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as rendering and video editing.

RAID Storage

Triple 7G/s Gen4 M.2 PCIe SSDs in RAID 0

• The exclusive 3 PCIe 4.0 M.2 from CPU and 2nd Generation 7000 MB/s SSD provides unparalleled Read/ Write performance up to 21053 and 15499 MB/s.

Hybrid Cores Optimization

• With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 exclusively creates two new ” CPU Upgrade ” in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy.

Cooling Features

• High Current Support
• Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump, and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection
• Precision Control
• Up to 6 temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
• Dual Curve Mode
• Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario
• Fan Stop
• Fan can stop completely below users’ specified temperature point
• First adopter on 2.5 GbE LAN onboard

2X Faster than ever

• Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.
  Support Multi-Gig(10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet

Connecting the Future — USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C

• Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 design which is doubled the performance than previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works 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

• Hi-Res Audio certified, meaning that the product is capable of reproducing frequencies up to 40 kHz or above which ensures users with the best audio quality at all times.
