The Latest ROG VRM Architecture
Fresh, New Power DesignModern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal.
1. Dual 8-pin ProCool II power connectorsTwo ProCool connectors ensure a reliable and snug connection to the EPS12V power lines.
2. MicroFine Alloy ChokesEach power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rate to handle a whopping 45 amps.
3. 24+1 Power StagesThe VRM features 24+1 power stages rated at 105 amps each for the Vcore and two 100-amp power stages for the secondary voltage rails.
4. Premium metallic capacitorsInput and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.
Unprecedented Cooling Performance
Keep Your Components Ice ColdROG Maximus Z690 Extreme features unparalleled flexibility for either air or liquid cooling, thanks to a diverse array of heavyweight heat dissipation that keeps power delivery, M.2 drives and onboard components running cool under load, regardless of the available airflow.
1. VRM heatsinkA VRM heatsink is placed on the MOSFETs and chokes, and the embedded heatpipe connects to the aluminium I/O cover.
2. Aluminium, I/O coverAn aluminium I/O cover is connected to the primary heatsink via an embedded heatpipe, increasing mass and surface area for dissipation.
3. Cold-forged heatsinkThe heatsink cover is crafted from pure aluminum to efficiently cool the two onboard M.2 drives
4. Solid-Steel BackplateThe steel, electro-galvanized, cold-rolled coil construction strengthens Maximus Z690 Extreme to prevent bending, and is finished in motherboard-matching black.
5. High-Conductivity Thermal PadA high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.
6. M.2 BackplatesDual M.2 slots feature back-plate blocks that ensure high-performance drives deliver peak performance even when airflow is restricted.
7. Chipset HeatsinkA dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.
Cooler By Design
Multiple Temperature SourcesEach header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.
4-Pin PWM Headers Every onboard header auto-detects any PWM or DC fan, with three chassis fan headers offering ASUS HYDRANODE support.
Bundled ROG Fan controller A bundled fan controller card includes six additional DC and PWM fan headers, plus two thermal-probe headers.
Water Pump+ A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to a high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.
Water in/out A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.
Water Flow A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.
Is your Windows Genuine?
Many copies of Windows operating systems bought from unofficial channels like auction websites are not Genuine, even if they have allowed you to upgrade to newer versions. Buying a Genuine copy from an authorised reseller like Scan ensures you will get the latest updates, security patches and support from Microsoft.

Maximise Your Storage Capabilities
PCIe 5.0 ReadyROG Maximus Z690 Extreme is features three onboard M2 slots, with one offering support for the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
ROG DIMM.2The ROG DIMM.2 module is an innovative expansion card that allows two M.2 drives to be connected via a DDR4 interface. You can then add a metal heatsink, helping to control thermals for maximum performance while elevating aesthetics.
Aesthetics to Take Your Breath Away
Aura SyncUp your game with complementary Aura Sync enhanced aesthetics, featuring preset lighting effects that can be easily synchronised across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, mice and keyboards to give your setup a unified look.
Anime Matrix LEDThis innovative display features an RGB grid of mini LEDs that can be programmed to show off style with custom lighting designs, unique animations and live audio visualizations. Plus, distinctive soundwave lighting effects can even flash to the sound of a person’s voice.
LIVEDASH OLEDThe ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme includes LiveDash, a built-in 2-inch OLED panel that shows useful information and features customizable graphics. During the power-on, self-test (POST) phase, the OLED shows key stats in simple language using traditional POST codes. In normal operation, the panel can be programmed to show CPU frequency, device temperatures, fan speeds or water-cooling information. You can also personalize the default OLED GIF with a preferred image or animation.
