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.

14+1 DrMOS

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

DDR4 5333 (OC)

Improvements to trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiM em II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that

significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime Z690 P D4 offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot 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 2×2 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 2×2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps

Thunderbolt 4 Support

Prime Z690 P features Thunderbolt 4

support via an on board header. With the latest Intel certified ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add on card, it can enable bi directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card has a daisy chain function for multi screen connection and supports up to an 8K resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 watts of power to fast charge devices

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
