DDR5 OVERCLOCKING STRENGTH

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. For DDR5, the Maximus 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).

COOLER BY DESIGN

1. VRM heatsink
2. Aluminum, I/O cover
3. Cold-forged heatsink
4. Solid steel backplate
5. High-Conductivity Thermal Pad
6. M.2 Backplates
7. Chipset Heatsink

USB 3.2 GEN 2X2 TYPE-C FRONT-PANEL CONNECTOR WITH QUICK CHARGE 4+

Quick Charge 4+ technology can rapidly charge devices at up to 60W with a PCIe power supply cable plugged into the nearby 6-pin connector.

ROG DIMM.2

The ROG DIMM.2 module is an innovative expansion card that allows two M.2 drives to be connected via a DDR4 interface. You can then add a metal heatsink, helping to control thermals for maximum performance while elevating aesthetics.
