AQUA, NEW BEGINNING!
How to make AQUA better? It’s a topic we’ve been working on for years. The monoblock efficiency is enhanced by optimizing the best combination of fin thickness, spacing as well as water passage, on top of that, ultra-high heat conductive thermal grease is used to guarantee Z690 AQUA performs best in every single way. Lastly, the prestige and superior Z690 AQUA motherboard will be limited production to only 500 units.

Excelsior
Z690 AQUA is built around a selection of materials, the stainless steel panels are given assortment of surface treatments to give Z690 AQUA a modern and avant-garde appearance, onboard LED effect is intentionally design to be modest and subtle, once again making Z690 AQUA one boutique of a motherboard.
Aqua Cooling Armor
Elegant but functional is the main aspect of this unique motherboard, the custom AQUA water cooling block is designed to dissipate the heat of the CPU, VRM as efficiently as possible, it also dazzles with sophisticated but eye-catching RGB LED lighting effects design that brightens the water passage to give a more classy look.
OLED Display
An OLED display was added to give a cleaner and informative way to express the status of the motherboard, the content can also be configured in the BIOS for more user friendly application.
PCIe 5.0 with Surface-Mount Tech
Compares to conventional DIP style PCIe slot, the SMT type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximize stability under high speed, a key breakthrough to fully support the lighting speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard.
The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable to perform a breathtaking bandwidth of 128GBps, ready to unleash the full potential of future high end graphic cards.
DDR5 Memory with Protection Circuit
The reinforced DIMM slot is surfaced mounted onto the motherboard to give better physical strength as well as a more stable memory signal, with this superior revolutionary design, it is able to dramatically overclock DRAM module up to insane frequency.
OC Button
An array of OC friendly buttons with varies of function to help overclockers achieve the world record!
20 Power Phase Design with 105A SPS
SPS (SMART POWER STAGE) is a new power solution with fully optimized integrated MOSFETs with advanced driver IC, current sensors and temperature sensors, which provides current monitoring and more stable current for extreme overclocking!
12 Layers Server-Grade Low-Loss PCB
The 12 layers server grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, giving higher performance as well as system stability, giving a reliable and long-lasting system without any compromise.
Water Leaking Detector
The water leaking detector features a digital pressure gauge and air pump, and offers a fast and safe way to test whether there is leakage in your water cooling system. Before filling with water, just install the digital leak detector into your water cooling system, pressurize the system with an air pump, and keep the system in a closed state. If the pressure is kept constant, there is no leakage.
ESS 9218 DAC & WIMA Audio Caps
Embrace the audio stunning performance with ESS 9218 SABRE DAC & WIMA Audio caps. True Hi-Fi Audio, no distorted digital signal to support higher impedance up to 600 Ω headphone.
Killer Networking
