Socket LGA 1700 DDR5 foundation

This ATX motherboard pairs the Intel Z690 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket for 12th generation Core processors. It targets builders who want a DDR5 platform with a single PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot and three M.2 positions. The board ships as a manufacturer refurbished unit with only the I/O shield included.

128 GB ceiling and three M.2 slots

Four DDR5 slots support up to 128 GB of memory, giving ample headroom for content creation and heavy multitasking. Storage expansion uses three M.2 connectors, while a single PCI slot remains for legacy add-in cards. The lone PCIe 5.0 x16 slot limits multi GPU configurations to one card.

Refurbished unit with I/O shield only

ASUS tested the board and confirms full functionality, though it may show slight signs of use. The package contains the motherboard and I/O shield in an anti-static bag inside a plain box. No SATA cables, Wi-Fi antennas, driver media or manuals are supplied, so builders must source those separately.
