Compact Z690 ITX platform

The MAXSUN iCraft Z690 ITX WiFi motherboard fits Intel 12th and 13th generation Core processors into a 17.2 cm square Mini-ITX board. It targets builders who need high-end chipset features in a small-form-factor chassis. Dual-channel DDR5 memory support and a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot deliver current-generation throughput for gaming or workstation tasks.

Bundled cooling and connectivity extras

A magnetic WiFi 6E antenna is included to enable the on-board Intel AX211 wireless module with Bluetooth 5.2. An integrated VRM fan sits on a large heatsink that covers the 8+1 phase 90A Dr.MOS power stages. A dedicated M.2 heatsink covers one of the two 2280 slots, both wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 with NVME and SATA auto-switching.

Straightforward ITX installation

Coloured front-panel pins and a clear CMOS button simplify first-time builds and quick troubleshooting. Four 4-pin PWM fan headers and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports are routed around the compact layout. The rear I/O supplies two HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs alongside six USB 3.2 Gen1 ports and a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen1 header plus a 10 Gbps Type-C header.
