Rock-Solid Performance

Driver and mosfet
The onboard VRMs feature 14+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 12th Gen Intel Core processors demand.The power stages are each rated to handle 80 amps to provide stable performance for current and future Intel processors.

Six-Layer PCB
DesignHaving multiple PCB layers helps to optimise heat managment for critcal components, providing more headroom for overclocking and system tweaks.

Procool Power Connectors
Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.

TUF Capacitors
Proprietary capacitors provide up to 20% wider temperature tolerance and five times longer lifespan.

TUF Chokes
Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-solid power to the CPU, improving system stability.

Digi+ VRM
The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimised for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

Cooler by Design



1. Enlarged VRM HeatsinkThe extensive surface area of the massive heatsink covers the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation.

2. Enlarged PCH HeatsinkAn expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes performance and heat dissipation.

3. Three M.2 slots with heatsinksThree out of four M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks, keeping M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Comprehensive Fan Controls

Multiple Temperature Sources
Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.



AIO Water-Cooling Settings
An integrated AIO system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or self-contained cooling setups.

Excercise Your Control

TUF GAMING Z690 motherboards feature comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 utility in Armoury Crate or the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

4-pin PWM/DC Fan
All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.



Smart Fan Protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excess heat and electrical currents.



Incredible Memory Performance



DDR4 OC 5333

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

Unprecedented Storage Capabilities



Four PCIe 4.0 M.2

The four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 devices and also provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance potential. Create a RAID configuration with up to four PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the fastest data transfer speeds.

Say Hello to The Latest Generation



PCIe 5.0 Support

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

TUF Protection for your Motherboard

SafeSlot Protection
PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so ASUS adapted their SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Meanwhile, strong ASUS SafeDIMM sheathes support and protects memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering you to insert your modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.

ESD Guards
ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge - greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV.

TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.

DRAM Overvoltage Protection
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system and connected devices.

Stainless Steel Back I/O Panel
TUF GAMING motherboards have a corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a 3X-longer lifespan versus traditional panels. With this protective feature, TUF GAMING motherboards passed 72-hour salt fog testing, while other brands only passed 24-hour testing.

Intel WiFi 6 for Wireless Connectivity



Get up to 2.4Gbps

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 optimised 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. The WiFi antenna designs with four-way positioning that enables better signal reception, and a magnetic base to secure the antenna on the top or side of the PC case.

Intel® 2.5 Gb Ethernet



Keeping Your Connected

Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming. Turbo LAN is a network-optimisation software for customisable packet prioritisation. With cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology, it allows you to configure application priority via an intuitive interface, and reduces network lag.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation



Excellent Gaming Audio

This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls.

Let Your Personality Shine Through



A.  Addressable Gen2 RGB Header
B. RGB Header

ASUS Aura Sync
A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. TUF Gaming Z690 series features edge lighting to enhance its rugged look, and now the PCH heatsink gets RGB lighting to take the style even further. ASUS Aura offers full RGB control with a variety of functional presets for built-in LEDs as well as third-party strips you can connect to onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

ASUS Armory Crate

Armoury Crate is exclusive ASUS software that gives you centralised control of supported gaming products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate lets you easily customise RGB lighting and effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unified system lighting effects. It also provides hardware information and control of settings for a select and growing number of products, including keyboard and mouse preferences, Fan Xpert 4 and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, making it easier to tune the look and feel of your system. Armoury Crate even features dedicated product registration and news sections to help you stay in touch with the gaming community.
