ATX board for 12th and 13th Gen Intel CPUs with DDR4 memory, PCIe 5.0 graphics slot, triple M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, WiFi 6 and 2.5GbE LAN
This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z690 chipset and fits LGA 1700 processors from the 12th and 13th generations. It provides four 288-pin slots for dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB and a 16+1+2 digital VRM with 60 A power stages. A dedicated LGA 1700 mounting bracket is required for cooler installation.
The board suits builders who already own DDR4 modules and want PCIe 5.0 graphics support plus triple M.2 slots wired for PCIe 4.0 x4. It also delivers 2.5 GbE LAN, WiFi 6 and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C. Users needing a smaller form factor should look elsewhere.
The highest validated memory speed is DDR4 5333 (OC), which sets the practical limit for overclocked kits. Four slots allow 128 GB total capacity in dual-channel mode. Choose this board when that frequency ceiling matches your memory plans.

The socket is LGA 1700. A dedicated LGA 1700 mounting bracket is required, so check whether your cooler includes one or buy the bracket separately.
The board lists DDR4 5333(OC) as the top overclocked speed across four 288-pin slots, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB in dual-channel mode.
There are three M.2 slots: one CPU-connected PCIe 4.0 x4 and two chipset-connected PCIe 4.0 x4, so each drive gets a full x4 link.
