- Does this board support Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs?
- Yes, it uses the LGA 1700 socket and the Z690 chipset, which covers Intel 12th, 13th and 14th Gen processors. A BIOS update may be needed for newer chips, so check the revision before installing.
- Can I use DDR5 memory with it?
- No. This version takes DDR4 only, in four slots up to 128 GB. Gigabyte sells separate DDR5 versions of the Z690 UD line if you want the newer memory.
- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- Three. They accept 2280, 2260 and 22110 lengths, and one slot sits under a heatsink. The rest share lanes with SATA ports, so check the manual before filling every slot.
- Is Wi-Fi built in?
- Yes. It has Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 on board, so no add-in card is needed. You still need an antenna, which comes in the box.
- Does it support overclocking?
- Yes, the Z690 chipset allows CPU and memory overclocking on unlocked K-series chips. It lacks premium tuning aids like a POST code display, so it suits mild overclocks.
- What comes in the box?
- The board, SATA cables, a Wi-Fi antenna, the I/O shield if it is not pre-mounted, and mounting hardware. Check the exact bundle for your revision, since Gigabyte varies it.
