Review: Amazing board with no issues - An amazing motherboard, while plenty of newer models are now released, for the LGA 1700 socket it's easily one of the best designed visually and technically. Has everything you might need for ports, although a few more USBC would've been nice. The additional memory card is also pretty nice and has good cooling. The WIFI-6E capability is super nice to have for WIFI speeds. I ended up changing out my CPU and messed up my pins and bought it again and it was 100% worth it. Review: Another good motherboard - a few notes - This is probably my fifth or sixth Asus motherboard in many years of building my own systems. It seems to have retained the good build quality I expect from this manufacturer, and I encountered no serious problems in using it to build my new Windows 11 system. It is worth noting that, in addition to all the features listed, it has six 'native' SATA headers, four of which are RAID-compatible. Less experienced builders may want to note a couple of minor warnings: 1) The system comes with a PCI daughterboard, which accounts for two of its M2 sockets and is intended for use with high power M2 SSD Drives. The daughterboard includes very substantial heatsinks which are in close thermal contact with the installed drives and are designed to (and should) enhance the SSDs' reliability by greatly reducing their risk of overheating. There are also three other more conventional M2 sockets under shields on the motherboard itself. The screws/clips which are used to secure the M2 cards in their sockets are packed separately in small inner bags in a 'hardware' bag. The ones to be used in the daughterboard are small flat silver screws with washers; the ones to be used on the main motherboard are somewhat longer screws with black plastic clips. The screws have identical threads, so it is possible to use them in the wrong places, but this does not work well! The documentation could be clearer on this. 2) If you update the BIOS to the current version downloaded from the manufacturer's website (recommended - mine came with a very old version of the BIOS), be aware that the process takes a surprisingly long time (a few minutes). If you use the BIOS's built-in EZ-Flash program, you will be reassured by the screen displaying progress reports. If you use the 'plug in a USB drive and press the button' option, all you get is a flashing LED, and a LOT of patience is required. ## Features - Intel LGA 1700 socket: Ready for 12th Gen Intel Core processors, support PCIe 5.0,DDR5 and out of box Windows 11 ready.Wireless & Bluetooth: Bluetooth v5.2.Wireless & Bluetooth : 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax), Supports 2.4/5/6GHz frequency band. - AI Motherboard : AI Overclocking, AI cooling, AI networking(GameFirst VI) and AI noise cancellation - Robust Power Solution: 18+1 90A power stages with ProCool II power connector, high-quality alloy chokes and durable capacitors to support multi-core processors - Optimized Thermal Design: VRM heatsink, PCH fanless heatsink, double-sided M.2 heatsink, hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 utility - High-performance Gaming Networking: On-board WiFi 6E and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with ASUS LANGuard - Best Gaming Connectivity: Supports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 output, and support up to 5xM.2 slots, 1x PCIe 5.0 M.2 , bundled with ROG Hyper M.2 card and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C & Type-A and Front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connectors - PC DIY Friendly: SafeDIMM, PCIe 5.0 Safeslot, Q-LED, M.2 Q-Latch, CPU socket lever protector, Pre-mount I/O shield, BIOS FlashBack, Clr CMOS button, Q-Code and FlexKey (Reset, Aura on/off, Direct key) - Industry-leading Gaming Audio: High fidelity audio with ALC4080 with Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, along with DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III - New ROG Strix Aesthetics: New ID design, Illuminated Acrylic Display, ASUS-exclusive Aura Sync RGB lighting, including RGB headers and Gen 2 addressable headers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09JS5DHSX | | Best Sellers Rank | #481 in Computer Motherboards | | Brand | ASUS | | CPU Model | Core i5 | | CPU Socket | LGA 1700 | | Chipset Type | Intel Z690 | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible Processors | intel celeron | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,063 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00195553494632 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.2"L x 4.5"W x 14.4"H | | Item Type Name | motherboard | | Item Weight | 6 Pounds | | Main Power Connector Type | 24-Pin | | Manufacturer | ASUS | | Memory Clock Speed | 6400 MHz | | Memory Slots Available | 4 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Mfr Part Number | ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI | | Model Name | ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI | | Model Number | ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI | | Number of Ethernet Ports | 1 | | Number of Ports | 12 | | Platform | Windows 11 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1700 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR5 | | Ram Memory Maximum Size | 128 GB | | S/PDIF Connector Type | Optical | | System Bus Standard Supported | Serial ATA/600 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | Total PCIe Ports | 4 | | Total SATA Ports | 6 | | Total Usb Ports | 12 | | UPC | 195553494632 | | USB 2.0 | 11 | | Warranty Description | 3 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **CPU Model:** Core i5 - **CPU Socket:** LGA 1700 - **Chipset Type:** Intel Z690 - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible Processors:** intel celeron - **Memory Clock Speed:** 6400 MHz - **Model Name:** ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI - **Platform:** Windows 11 - **RAM Memory Technology:** DDR5 ## Images ![ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,ROG Hyper M.2 Card,Front Panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hQTzzTLrL.jpg) ![ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,ROG Hyper M.2 Card,Front Panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YjGJMaxaL.jpg) ![ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,ROG Hyper M.2 Card,Front Panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kwHL5wGzL.jpg) ![ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,ROG Hyper M.2 Card,Front Panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816LsIaoZ7L.jpg) ![ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,ROG Hyper M.2 Card,Front Panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81N5MYykIyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing board with no issues *by A***N on December 24, 2025* An amazing motherboard, while plenty of newer models are now released, for the LGA 1700 socket it's easily one of the best designed visually and technically.

After doing some research, this offered about the same performance (some differences that I do not use), for a significantly reduced price from the Strix z790e. A quick flash of the bios (since the default bios was meant to support the 12700k chips), downloaded from Asus' website, and I was good to go. The differences between the z690e and z790e were : the amount of pcie gen 5 lanes, which almost nothing supports yet, so no biggie to me (nothing I added was gen 5), and higher ddr5 memory clock speeds (but this supported the DDR5 sticks I used). The only negative is their "Armorer" software. I went heavy on the RGB with this build (ram, fans, even rgb cable extensions for the PSU), and the Armorer software caused MAJOR issues. I thought I had defective parts, until I stumbled on a website where someone posted about their issues. Once I uninstalled Armorer, it worked fantastically (if that is, in fact a word). That is my only complaint. It still gets a 5 star review from me, just for how well it works and the price paid (I got on sale, probably trying to clear out older supplies for the next gen stuff). ## Frequently Bought Together - Asus ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi Desktop Motherboard - Intel Z690 Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - Intel Optane Memory Ready - ATX - Pentium Gold, Celeron, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9 Processor Supported - - Intel Core i7-12700K Gaming Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - Intel Core i9-12900K Gaming Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/377615064-rog-strix-z690-e-gaming-wifi-6e-lga-1700-intel](https://www.desertcart.is/products/377615064-rog-strix-z690-e-gaming-wifi-6e-lga-1700-intel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
