ROG MAXIMUS Z690 Extreme
ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme represents the ultimate in enthusiast motherboard design for those who want the best possible option that excels at both air and liquid cooling for 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs.
Three Onboard M.2 Slots
ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme is features three onboard M2 slots, with one offering support for the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
ROG DIMM.2
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.
DDR5 Overclocking
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 that have a locked power management IC.
Accurate Voltage Monitoring
Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing circuits that are susceptible to noise and have to tap voltage rails from a location that isn’t ideal for accurate monitoring. Maximus Z690 Extreme features a differential-sensing circuit that rejects noise and takes readings directly from the CPU and the end point of major voltage rails.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 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.
INTEL WIFI 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology providing up to three times the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band and up to seven 160 MHz bands to deliver ultrafast wireless networking speeds.
2 Thunderbolt 4 USB-C
Each port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest high-speed devices and drives, also supports up to 2 external 4K displays and extends PCIe bandwidth to up to 32 Gbps.
