Harness the power of 12th Gen Intel processors with the PRIME Z690-P LGA1700 ATX Motherboard from ASUS. Designed to leverage power to enhance the creative user's productivity, the PRIME Z690-P offers robust functionality suited for resource-demanding components such as high-end RAM modules and graphics cards.

An Intel Z690 chipset rests as the heart of this motherboard, giving you access to an LGA 1700 socket, four dual-channel DDR5 RAM slots, four SATA III ports, and three M.2 interfaces. Install a wide range of graphics and utility cards with a multitude of expansion slots including one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16, two PCIe 3.0 x16, and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. An array of USB ports and headers allows you to connect resource-demanding peripherals such as external drives and more with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-A Ports. The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port provides greater power for devices like audio interfaces and mass storage devices. A Realtek 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port delivers enhanced data signal, allowing you to easily access cloud storage or stream your favorite media. The PRIME Z690-P supports Windows 10 (64-Bit) as well as Windows 11 (64-Bit) right out of the box.

Designed for 12th Gen Intel Processors
Designed to be used with 12th Gen Intel processors, the PRIME motherboard leverages the CPU's potential to deliver power and connectivity suitable for creative designers and gamers alike. When paired with an Intel 12th Gen processor, you unlock PCIe 5.0 connectivity, enhancing speeds for your RAM, M.2 storage devices, and your x16 expansion slot. Additionally, you gain support for Intel Boost Technology 2.0 and Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, enhancing system-wide performance.
Power Design
The PRIME motherboard promotes durability, reliability, and stable power delivery with a 14+1 DrMOS system, alloy chokes, and capacitors. ProCool connectors enhance conductivity between power cables and the motherboard interfaces ensuring a sturdy connection to the power supply.
Cooling
Sporting a comprehensive cooling system designed to balance power and temperature, the PRIME Z690-P utilizes many tools such as a large VRM heatsink, flexible M.2 heatsink, and a PCH heatsink to dissipate heat away from major board components. Hybrid fan headers allow you to connect and manage PWM fans, while Fan Xpert 4 software enables you to adjust fan settings when needed.
ASUS OptiMem II
Using ASUS' proprietary trace layout, the PRIME motherboard allows memory kits to operate at higher frequencies and lower voltages to optimize system performance, essential for overclocking your memory.
Thunderbolt 4 Header
An internal Thunderbolt header allows you to connect an optional Thunderbolt 4 card for enhanced connectivity. Experience up to 40 Gb/s data transfer speeds, daisy-chain capabilities, and displays for streamlined productivity.
DIY Friendly
Whether you are new or a seasoned builder, the PRIME boasts key enhancements designed to make installation of components a snap. The PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot features SafeSlot technology which uses a metal bracket to reinforce the stability of the expansion port for greater retention, ideal for larger graphics cards. Q-LED Code tells you when key parts of your system are functioning as normal upon startup, which makes troubleshooting easy in the event of a failure. Q-DIMM makes installing RAM modules easy, enabling you to only flip one DIMM lock on the outside section instead of both. A vertical M.2 slot allows you to install a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module, allowing you to add wireless networking and peripheral support.
ASUS 5X Protection III
Ensure your system is protected with a multitude of enhancements designed to maintain power and performance efficiency. DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, Overvoltage Protection, SafeSlot, and a Stainless-Steel Back I/O all work together to keep your system running.
Customization
Illuminate your rig in an array of colors and effects with integrated RGB headers. Able to be used in tandem with ASUS AURA Sync and Armoury Crate, you can set custom colors and effects across internal lighting strips as well as external peripherals, adding a layer of self-expression to your desktop.
ASUS Exclusive Software
Take advantage of performance and power saving utilities and more with AI Suite 3 which uses an artificial intelligence to manage your system, taking the guesswork out so you can spend more time gaming or producing your creations. ASUS CPU-Z profiles your build and monitors your system for enhanced reliability. TurboV EVO gives you simple overclocking capabilities so that your system can achieve high-end performance assisting in rendering files or squeezing more performance out of your games.
UEFI BIOS
Manage your system and enable overclocking with UEFI BIOS. Advanced mode allows you to fine-tune your system with a wide range of settings and options while EZ mode simplifies the experience. EZ Flash 3 allows you to upgrade your BIOS firmware to the latest iteration by using a USB drive to save and upload the file. The CrashFree BIOS 3 rescue function resets your system in the event of an update failure or corruption.
