Awards POWER STAGES

18+1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package, delivering power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors can take full advantage of. ALLOY CHOKES AND CAPACITORS

High-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards. 8+8 PIN PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTOR

ASUS ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure full contact with power supply cabling. A metal sheath improves thermals, and low impedance bolsters reliability and helps prevent hotspots. DIGI+ POWER CONTROL

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultrasmooth and clean power delivery to the CPU.

Integrated I/O Cover & VRM Heatsinks

Two thick VRM heatsinks connected by a heat pipe and bonded to a pre-mounted metal I/O shield provide ample surface area and mass to handle high-performance 12th Gen Intel Core processors. Thermal Pads

Specially engineered thermal pads efficiently transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink. M.2 Combo-Sink

An M.2 heatsink with a direct-contact heat pipe delivers ample surface area, enabling optimal running temperatures for PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMedrives, even when airflow is restricted. M.2 Backplates

Keeps a mounted M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability. M.2 Heatsinks

Multiple M.2 heatsinks help maintain onboard M.2 NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

DDR5 - AEMP

AEMP is an exclusive feature that automatically detects the memory chips on a DDR5 kit and presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that can unleash performance. PCIe 5.0 M.2

The ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi features a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, and five total slots with a bundled PCIe card, for massive storage and data transfer speeds that blaze past traditional SATA-based SSDs. ROG Hyper M.2 Card

An M.2 heatsink with a direct-contact heat pipe delivers ample surface area, enabling optimal running temperatures for PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMe drives, even when airflow is restricted. WIFI 6E

Onboard WiFi 6E uses the 6 GHz band to provide up to three times the bandwidth of 5 GHz devices, and up to seven 160 MHz bands, to deliver high speeds, more network capacity and stronger reception. SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX’s ALC4080 chip boosts playback resolution from 192 kHz to 384 kHz on all channels. Front-panel output routes through a Savitech amplifier that can drive various headsets and headphones.

PCIe Slot Q-Release

A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of removing a PCIe card when upgrading to a new GPU or other compatible device. BIOS FlashBack

BIOS FlashBack is the safest way to update BIOS, all without having memory or a CPU installed. M.2 Q-Latch

The ASUS Q-Latch enables easy and tool-free installation and removal of an M.2 SSD. This slot design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws. UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

A specially lit display on the I/O cover suggests that a circuit board is visible beneath an RGB ROG logo. Meanwhile, touches of mirror finish and an M.2 lighting pattern help define the ROG aesthetic
