ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI is an ATX motherboard that uses the Intel Z690 chipset and supports LGA 1700 processors. It gives builders a dependable platform for the newest Intel CPUs and sets the stage for gaming rigs that aim for high frame rates and multitasking prowess.

Four DIMM slots accept up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory, letting you push frequencies up to 6000 MT/s for faster application load times and smoother gameplay. Storage is handled by four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with RAID options, so large game libraries and creative assets can live on quick, responsive drives.

Graphics cards connect through a full-length PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, ready for today’s top GPUs and future upgrades that demand extra bandwidth. Around back, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port delivers 20 Gb/s transfers for fast external storage, while onboard Wi-Fi 6E and a 2.5 Gb Ethernet port offer low-latency networking whether you prefer wireless or wired.

A 14 + 1 DrMOS power stage layout, combined with a six-layer PCB, keeps power delivery steady when the CPU is under heavy load. Large heatsinks on the VRMs and M.2 slots help maintain cooler temperatures during extended gaming sessions or long rendering jobs.

Realtek 7.1-channel audio, a Thunderbolt 4 header for future expansion, and RGB headers that work with Aura Sync round out the feature set. The board fits naturally in mid-tower or full-tower cases and is a solid choice for competitive gamers, streamers, and content creators who want a reliable foundation with room to grow.
