Prime Z690-P D4

ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 12th Generation Intel processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, the board provides users and PC DIY builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.

Three M.2 Slots

Comes with three M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

PCIe 5.0 Slot

With 12th Gen Intel CPUs comes support for PCIe 5.0. It offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0. It also brings in signal integrity and backward compatbility.

Thunderbolt 4 Support

Features Thunderbolt 4 support via an on-board header. With Intel-certified ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add-on card, it can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable.

All Around Energy

The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes energy savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

Fan Xpert 4

Thwe software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) cooler. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. The same can be done via UEFI BIOS.

Digi+ VRM Control

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.

DDR4 5333 (OC)

ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

USB 3.2 Type-C

Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including rear USB Type-C connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Cooler By Design

An M.2 heatsink takes care of the two M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. Two massive VRM heatsinks gives better cooling performance.

Q-LED Core

The Q-LED Core display produces light patterns by power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot potential issues.

SafeSlot

PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed.
