The Asus Prime Z690-A is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on Intel's Z690 chipset, designed for the LGA 1700 socket. It is compatible with Intel 12th Generation (Alder Lake), 13th Generation (Raptor Lake), and 14th Generation (Raptor Lake Refresh) desktop processors, giving builders a platform that can be upgraded across three CPU generations without changing the board.
