ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 Motherboard

ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 Motherboard Overview

ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 Motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 13th & 12th Generation Intel® processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Prime Z690M-Plus D4 provides users and PC DIY builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.

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.

10 1 DrMOS

A VRM with 10 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 OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding z ones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime Z690M Plus 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 an d 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.

Intel 1 Gb Ethernet

Ethernet Connection I219 V reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

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.
