OVERVIEW
The ASRock Z690 Pro RS motherboard is capable of accommodating multiple M.2 storage devices, one of which can support PCI Express 4.0 M.2 SSD, enabling it to perform twice as fast as the previous third generation, which delivers a lightning-fast data transfer experience.

The intelligent Gigabit 2.5Gb/s LAN platform is built for maximum networking performance for the demanding needs of home networking, content creators, online gamers, and high-quality streaming media. Boost networking performance by up to 2.5X bandwidth compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet, and you’ll enjoy a fast and uncompromising connectivity experience for gaming, file transfers, and backups.

The ASRock Z690 Pro RS features the latest USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C delivering data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps which is 2 times faster than the previous generation and provides a blazing-fast data transfer interface with a reversible USB Type-C design that fits the connector either way.

In addition to built-in RGB illumination, it also includes an onboard RGB header and an addressable RGB header that allows the motherboard to connect compatible LED devices such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis, and more.

Users can also synchronize the RGB LED devices to Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories and can create their own unique lighting effects. Simply install your heavy graphics card on the holder; Connect it to your motherboard and chassis with screws. Flexible slide up and down to fully adjust the height required for your graphics card.
