ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 Intel Z690 LGA 1700 ATX motherboard with PCIe 5.0, 16+1 DrMos, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, AI Overclocking, AI Cooling, AI Networking, WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Intel??2.5 Gb Ethernet, four M.2 slots with heatsinks PCIe 4.0 N

The ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WIFI D4 provides the perfect middle ground for builders moving to the Intel Z690 platform. While it supports the cutting-edge architecture of 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel processors, it utilizes DDR4 memory slots, allowing you to use existing high-performance RAM kits or save on your total build cost. The motherboard is encased in premium silver-white aluminum heatsinks with an acrylic-enhanced I/O shroud that showcases vibrant Aura Sync RGB lighting.

Reliable Power Delivery & Cooling
To manage the significant power requirements of Intel’s high-core-count CPUs, the Z690-A D4 features 16+1 teamed power stages rated for 80A. The VRM is cooled by two extra-thick heatsinks connected by a high-conductivity heatpipe. Additionally, four onboard M.2 slots are equipped with dedicated heatsinks and thermal pads to ensure your NVMe storage maintains peak speeds without thermal throttling during heavy workloads.
 

Next-Gen Connectivity and Expansion
Even though this board utilizes DDR4, it is fully prepared for the future of graphics with a PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot, doubling the bandwidth of the previous generation. Networking is handled by a high-speed Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet port and integrated WiFi 6, providing a stable, low-latency connection for online gaming and 4K streaming. The rear I/O is packed with ports, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C for blistering 20Gbps data transfers.
 

Intelligent DIY Features
ASUS has packed the Z690-A D4 with quality-of-life innovations. The PCIe Slot Q-Release button allows you to remove large graphics cards with a simple press, while the M.2 Q-Latch makes installing SSDs tool-less and screw-free. With AI Overclocking, AI Cooling, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, the motherboard intelligently optimizes your system settings for the best possible experience in real-time.
 

Why the ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WIFI D4 Stands Out
DDR4 Compatible: Access 12th/13th/14th Gen performance without the premium cost of DDR5.

Striking Aesthetic: Silver and white design with customizable RGB for boutique builds.

PCIe 5.0 Ready: Native support for next-generation GPUs.

SupremeFX Audio: ALC4080 codec and Savitech amplifier for immersive 7.1 surround sound.
