BACK TO COOLING

PERFORMANCE

Prime Z690 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 14^th, 13^th & 12^th Generation Intel^® processors. ASUS Z690 motherboards provide all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of 14^th, 13^th & 12^th Generation Intel^® processors. Prime Z690-P-CSM is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

ProCool Connectors
14+1 DrMOS

ProCool Connectors

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4 pin+8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

14+1 DrMOS

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

Memory

DDR5
OptiMem II

ASUS OptiMem II

Revisions to the motherboard’s trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Benefits of ASUS OptiMem II:

Improved memory stability and compatibility
Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
Improved memory frequency margin

Motherboards with OptiMem II technology were tested with Synopsys HSPICE simulation software

DDR5 Performance Enhancement

Prime Z690-P-CSM 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-CSM 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.

For users new to memory overclocking, Prime Z690-P-CSM includes the exclusive ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

Storage

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime Z690-P-CSM 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.

* Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Connectivity

PCIe^® 5.0
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C^®
Thunderbolt™ 4 Support
2.5 Gb Ethernet

PCIe^® 5.0 Slot

The 14^th, 13^th & 12^th 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 rear USB Type-C^® connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Thunderbolt™ 4 Support

Prime Z690-P-CSM 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.
