CREATIVITY STARTS HEREThe Gigabyte Intel® Z690 Creator Motherboard has a unique VisionLINK I/O design and includes support for the new generation of DDR5 memory. The AERO Series motherboards are a fresh approach to creators that evolve with optimized features for content creation with plenty of connectivity options. To deliver reliable computing performance, impressive connectivity, expandable graphics, and ultra-fast storage for creators to deal with heavy design workloads like 3D rendering and feature-length video production.

VISIONLINKALLOWS FOR MORE POSSIBILITIESGIGABYTE VisionLINK is an extension of your idea and creation. Transmitting data, video output, and power charging all through one USB Type-C® cable will simplify the user experience than ever. With seamless multitasking between your PC and devices, it lets you work like a pro.

WIFI 6 IS IDEAL FOR ALL YOUR ONLINE ACTIVITIESOnboard WIFI 6 technology supports 802.11ax with Bluetooth module technology, enables gigabit wireless performance, fewer dropped connections, and reduces congestion in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios. Moreover, providing better WIFI signal strength of the antenna design compared to a traditional antenna. Intel® 2.5 GbE network connectivity supports speeds up to 2.5 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet. It gives an immediate boost to overall network performance and data transfer speeds. To feature the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 connectivity design, which is double performance than the current USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. You can enjoy the ultimate connection flexibility to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.

THE FASTEST AND MOST ROBUST LEVELYou can never have enough memory bandwidth, and DDR5 helps meet this insatiable need for speed. Whether you are editing hundreds of audio samples, handling 4K footage, or multitasking workloads, it boosts system performance and offers you a smooth experience. DDR5 delivers at least 1.5X more bandwidth than the prior generation. This will facilitate the bandwidth needed for some applications, such as AI training and content creation.​ A single memory slot of the Z690 motherboard can support up to 32GB. With populated 2 DIMMs per channel on GIGABYTE Z690 motherboards, the maximum memory capacity support is 128GB. You can experience faster performance and instant access without any lag.

Equipped with the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot designed to optimize multitasking and large workloads, that is also ready for a new PCIe 5.0 graphics card or storage device. Brings a new level of performance for demanding applications in the high-performance market. Up to 128 GB/s from new PCIe 5.0 x16 slot designs for the next generation add on cards need tremendous bandwidth, including the graphics card, deep learning accelerator card and the video capture card.

QUAD PCIE M.2To equip with four PCIe 4.0 M.2 sockets, delivering superior bandwidth and upgrading your storage capacity to accelerate creative workflow. PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD gives you 7X faster data transferring experience compared to 2.5” SATA solid-state drives. GIGABYTE M.2 solution provides NVMe SSD RAID support for the considerably high storage performance. To feature full-speed PCIe 4.0 M.2 sockets as the best configuration for creators who demand high capacity and fast storage ability.

IMPECCABLE THERMAL TECHNOLOGYNumerous hybrid fan headers and temperature sensors are planted on the motherboard to monitor in real time and configure fan mode to fit different workloads via Smart Fan 6. Creators are allowed to set the trigger point to activate the fan and its corresponding speed. The fan completely stops when performing light tasks to avoid noise. An effective cooling solution can prevent the risk of design work being interrupted by an unexpected system crash. GIGABYTE’s advanced thermal solutions provide a perfect balance of aesthetics and performance. A large heat sink design and Direct-Touch Heatpipe II ensure stability during creative sessions.
