Compact Z690 platform for small-form-factor builds

This Mini-ITX board brings the Intel Z690 chipset and LGA 1700 socket into a space-saving layout. It supports 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors from Celeron through Core i9. The design targets builders who want high-end features without a full-size chassis.

DDR4 memory ceiling and dual M.2 storage

Two 288-pin slots accept DDR4 3200 modules up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode. That capacity covers gaming and creative workloads; heavier multitasking or virtualization will hit the limit. Two M.2 sockets provide fast primary and secondary drives, while four SATA 6 Gb/s ports add bulk storage.

PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and integrated connectivity

A single PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot handles modern graphics cards at full bandwidth. Rear I/O includes USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, Intel 2.5 GbE LAN and Intel WiFi 6E. Onboard video requires a CPU with integrated graphics. RGB lighting adds visual customisation.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4-3200 memory work with the two 288-pin slots on this Z690I AORUS Ultra Plus D4?

Yes, the board supports DDR4 3200 in dual-channel mode up to 64 GB across its two 288-pin slots.

How can I confirm the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and both M.2 sockets are active after assembly?

Enter the UEFI and verify the primary slot reports Gen 5 speeds while each M.2 appears at its rated link width; the Intel WiFi 6E and 2.5 GbE LAN icons should also show connected.

Does the box include WiFi antennas and SATA cables, or must I buy them separately?

The retail package supplies the WiFi 6E antenna kit and SATA 6 Gb/s cables; only the CPU, DDR4 memory, storage drives and PSU need to be sourced separately.
