ASUS Prime Z690-P WIFI Intel 12th Gen ATX Motherboard PCIe 5.0 DDR5 3x M.2 USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4

VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads

Two massive VRM heatsinks and high quality thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance

M.2 Heatsink

Two M.2 heatsinks take care of the three M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.

Intel WiFi 6

The Intel WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.

14+1 DrMOS

A VRM with 14+1 DrMOS delivers the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

DDR5 Performance Enhancement

Prime Z690-P WIFI enhances DDR5 performance by providing overclocking options 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. Prime Z690-P WIFI 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

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime Z690 P WiFi offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boo t up and app load times with OS or application drives.

PCIe 5.0 Slot

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.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C

Numerous USB ports support high end rigs loaded with peripherals, including both front and rear USB Type C connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Q-LED Core

The Q LED Core display produces light patterns by power LED during the Power On Self Test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
