However, ROG motherboards take a clever approach to overcome this limitation. With special onboard hardware and firmware, these motherboards provide a workaround that allows voltage adjustments to be applied through a soft system-reset process, similar to what was used for previous generations of DDR memory. This innovative solution eliminates the need for full power cycles, making the adjustment process more convenient and hassle-free. Enjoy the flexibility and control over your memory voltage settings without the annoyance of frequent system reboots.

INTELLIGENT MOTHERBOARD

The dedicated ROG engineering team has worked tirelessly to develop and rigorously test intelligent software solutions that are designed to keep your system running in optimal condition. With these innovative technologies, tuning your system has become faster and smarter than ever before. One of the standout features is ASUS AI Overclocking, which utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze your CPU and cooling system. By predicting the optimal configuration, it pushes your system to its limits, unlocking its full potential for enhanced performance. Experience the power of intelligent tuning and unleash the true capabilities of your system with confidence.

COOLING INNOVATION

The ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi motherboard is equipped with an innovative cooling system to effectively manage the thermals of Intel’s latest processors. The two VRM heatsinks and aluminum I/O cover are connected by an L-shaped heat pipe, providing ample mass and surface area for heat dissipation. Specially engineered thermal pads efficiently transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink, ensuring optimal thermal performance.

Taking cooling a step further, the motherboard features a triple-decker heatsink design. This clever arrangement allows for stacking two M.2 slots, both equipped with Q-Latch and full-size, double-sided heatsinks. These heatsinks, along with the thermal pads, effectively dissipate heat generated by high-performance M.2 NVMe SSDs, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

To complete the cooling solution, a beefy chipset heatsink is positioned at the bottom of the motherboard. This heatsink delivers excellent cooling performance, effectively managing the heat generated by the chipset and contributing to overall system stability.

With this advanced cooling system, the ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi motherboard ensures efficient heat dissipation, maintaining optimal performance even during demanding tasks and intense gaming sessions.

WIFI 6E (802.11 AX)

The onboard WiFi 6E technology featured in the ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi motherboard harnesses the power of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With this advanced technology, users can experience the benefits of significantly enhanced wireless networking capabilities.
