To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, Gigabyte R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance. Hybrid Cores Optimization: With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new "CPU Upgrade" in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy. Support for DDR5 XMP Up to 6600MHz and Beyond: AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 6600MHz and beyond.

All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard. Right Angled Connectors: Over 90% of connectors on Z690 AORUS XTREME are specifically designedto be right angled for easy cable management and clean airflow in the chassis. Fins-Array III with NanoCarbon Coating: Fins-Array III upgraded thermal performance by using new extended Irregular fins which not only increases surface area by incredible 900% compared to traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.

Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 – The fastest 40Gb/s single-wire connection: Powered by Intel's own Thunderbolt controller the new Thunderbolt™ 4 protocol, which is available over two USB Type-C® connectors on the back I/O of the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS XTREME, brings an unprecedented single-wire bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s -- twice more than USB3.2 Gen2x2! This incredible increase in bandwidth is also accompanied with support for different protocols such as DisplayPort 1.4a* and compliant with USB4 standard, which is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0, opening up a world of new possibilities. Daisy-chain Multiple Devices Support for DisplayPort 1.4 makes Thunderbolt™ 4 a must have for any enthusiast.

The Z690 AORUS XTREME is able to support two displays in 4K resolution at 60 FPS or one display in 8K resolution. In addition, Thunderbolt™ 4 over USB Type-C® has revolutionary industry-first features such as Power Delivery 2.0, USB4 specification compliance, and the ability to daisy-chain up to 10 devices thanks to the Z690 AORUS XTREME's dual USB Type-C® ports. Intel 802.11ax WIFI 6E: Intel latest Wireless solution 802.11ax WIFI 6E with new dedicated 6GHz band, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps*.

Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission. AQUANTIA® 10GbE BASE-T Networking The AQUANTIA® AQC113C is a high-performance, backward compatible with 10GBASE-T/ 5GBASE-T/ 2.5GBASE-T/ 1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet Controller which is able to provide up to 10 GbE network connectivity, with 10 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking and is perfectly designed for media centers, workstations and gamers. Play It By Ear ESSential HEX USB DAC reduces the pre-ringing and provides higher reverberation strength to achieve width and depth on the sound stage.

The sound is clearly portrayed making directional sounds clearer and more accurate when playing FPS games.
