The ASUS Prime Z690M-Plus D4 Micro-ATX motherboard is designed to support latest 12th Gen Intel CPU's with LGA 1700 socket, Pentium Gold and Celeron Processors.

The board is PCIe 5.0 Ready supporting up to 128GB DDR4 5333MHz(OC) of memory and Intel Turbo Boost Technology to push your experience to its peak.

Enjoy extended connectivity with the next-gen technology of PCIe 5.0, three M.2 slots, Intel 1Gb Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, front panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, and Thunderbolt 4 header support. 

Prime Z690M-Plus D4 features the most comprehensive cooling options ever that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. It employs VRM heatsink, PCH heatsink and hybrid fan headers.

The board comes with DIY Friendly features. 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. It is also have a handful features like Overvoltage Protection, DRAM Overcurrent Protection, Stainless-Steel Back I/O and LANGuard.

Prime Z690M-Plus 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.
