Otpakivanje Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro matične ploče

Gigabyteova AORUS Z690 Pro je matična ploča srednjeg ranga dizajnirana za rad s Intelovim najnovijim procesorima 12. generacije, što ćete saznati odmah nakon što je dobijete ako pogledate značajke i specifikacije otisnute na kutiji. Kad smo kod toga, pakiranje izgleda dobro, izrađeno je od čvrstog kartona i ima Sci-Fi dizajn sa stiliziranom slikom cyber orla na gornjoj strani.

Kutija Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

Otvaranje kutije otkriva matičnu ploču i pripadajući pribor. Nažalost, dobili smo uzorak za testiranje, pa je vjerojatno da nije sve bilo u kutiji. Međutim, pronašli smo korisnički priručnik, nekoliko vijaka, SATA kabele, kao i neke RGB i ARGB kabele i konektore. Teoretski, trebali biste nabaviti i Wi-Fi antenu, jer matična ploča uključuje bežično povezivanje.

Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro : Što je unutar kutije

Kada smo raspakirali Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro, prvo što smo primijetili je da je ovo sveukupno dobro izgleda matična ploča.^{(When we unboxed the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro, the first thing we noticed was that this is a good-looking motherboard overall.)}

Specifikacije hardvera i dizajn

Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro matična je ploča namijenjena igračima koji traže nešto srednjeg ranga, ali s puno značajki i razumne cijene. To znači da je ova matična ploča jedan od rijetkih modela s razumnom cijenom baziranih na Z690 čipsetu koje možete nabaviti u vrijeme ove recenzije. Po cijeni od oko 330 USD , nudi vam obilje opcija i značajki.

Krenimo od dizajna, jer to je prvo što vidite kada ga dobijete. Matična ploča koristi crnu kao primarnu boju, ali većina hladnjaka je siva. PCB i I /O ploča obojeni su crnom bojom, u kontrastu sa svjetlijim nijansama sive na gornjem VRM hladnjaku i ploči koja prekriva M.2 utore. Iako se na njemu nalaze RGB zaglavlja, sama matična ploča nema ugrađene RGB LED diode^{(RGB LEDs)} . Jedina stvar koja svijetli prema zadanim postavkama je mali Aorus tekst na pločici koja prekriva I/O ploču.

Pogled na Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

S hardverske strane, jedna od stvari koja privlači pažnju je pasivno hlađeni, visokokvalitetni VRM ( Modul regulatora napona^{(Voltage Regulator Module)} ). Može isporučiti do 90A, što znači da možete bez straha overclockati svoj procesor. 🙂

Procesor preuzima napajanje s matične ploče putem standardnog 24-pinskog ATX glavnog konektora za napajanje koji se nalazi u gornjem desnom kutu i također od dva dodatna (jedan 8-pinski i jedan 4-pinski) konektora koji se nalaze u gornjem lijevom kutu matična ploča.

VRM i CPU konektori za napajanje

Budući da je dizajnirana za Intel Alder Lake procesore ili 12. generacije Core CPU-^{(Core CPUs)} a ako želite, matična ploča koristi novi LGA1700 socket. Što znači da su vam opcije prilikom objavljivanja ove recenzije Intel Core i9-12900K i KF, Intel Core i7-12700K i KF ili Intel Core i5-12600K i KF. Međutim, u proljeće 2022. Intel bi trebao lansirati druge modele procesora.

Utor za procesor na Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

Jedna od najboljih stvari o Intelovoj novoj liniji procesora^(CPU) je ta što, osim DDR4 , podržavaju i DDR5 RAM . Matična ploča Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro radi s bržim DDR5 . Na njemu se nalaze četiri DDR5 DIMM utora, koji mogu stati do maksimalnog kapaciteta od 128 GB. Matična ploča podržava XMP 3.0 koji, ovisno o RAM modulima koje koristite, omogućuje jednostavno postavljanje njihove brzine do 6200MHz. A to možete i dalje napredovati tako što ćete overclockati svoju RAM memoriju^(RAM) ako želite.

Zaglavlja i ATX konektor za napajanje

Budući da se temelji na Z690 čipsetu, matična ploča također podržava PCIe 5.0 , ali samo za utor za grafičku karticu ( x16 ). Međutim, postoje i dva PCIe 3.0 utora na dnu matične ploče, ispod sive ploče koja pokriva neke od M.2 utora. Kad smo kod toga, svi M.2 diskovi koje spojite mogu raditi u PCIe 4.0 x4 modu.

PCI Express 5.0 x16 utor za grafičku karticu

Mogućnosti mrežnog povezivanja na Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro su izvrsne. Za žičane veze dobivamo Intel I225-V čip koji podržava brzine do 2,5 Gbps, a za bežične veze dobivamo do 2,4 Gbps putem Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 čipa!

Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro^{(Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro)} također pruža kvalitetan zvuk. Opremljen je Realtek ALC4080 CODEC -om koji ima izvrstan SNR od 120 dB ( omjer signal-šum^{(Signal-To-Noise)} ) za reprodukciju i 110 dB SNR za snimanje. Začudo, Gigabyte je odlučio montirati samo dva priključka na matičnu ploču: jedan stereo izlaz i jedan ulaz za mikrofon. Međutim, SPDIF OUT priključak podržava audio renderiranje u 7.1 surround načinu ako to želite.

Ulazno/izlazna ploča na Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

Da biste nastavili s opcijama povezivanja, na I/O ploči također ćete dobiti mnoštvo USB i drugih vrsta priključaka: jedan USB Type-C port s podrškom za USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 , četiri USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A porta (crveni one), četiri USB 3.2 Gen 1 porta, četiri USB 2.0 porta, dva SMA antenska konektora (2T2R) i jedan DisplayPort .

Zatim, tu su svi unutarnji ulazno/izlazni konektori i zaglavlja koji se nalaze na matičnoj ploči. Popis je dugačak, ali možda biste željeli znati što je na izborniku, pa evo ga: jedno zaglavlje CPU ventilatora, jedno zaglavlje ^(CPU)CPU ventilatora za vodeno hlađenje , četiri zaglavlja ventilatora sustava, dva zaglavlja ventilatora sustava/pumpe vodenog hlađenja, dvije adresibilne LED diode^(LED) zaglavlja traka, dva zaglavlja RGB LED trake, jedno zaglavlje prednje ploče, jedno audio zaglavlje prednje ploče, jedno USB Type-C zaglavlje s podrškom za USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 , jedno USB 3.2 Gen 1 zaglavlje, dva USB 2.0/1.1 zaglavlja, jedno detekcija buke zaglavlje, dva Thunderbolta^{(Thunderbolt)}konektori za dodatne kartice, jedno zaglavlje modula pouzdane platforme^{(Platform Module)} i dva zaglavlja senzora temperature. Dodatno, matična ploča također ima nekoliko ugrađenih gumba i kratkospojnika, i to: tipka za uključivanje, tipka za resetiranje, tipka Q-Flash Plus , kratkospojnik za resetiranje i kratkospojnik Clear CMOS .

M.2 utori ispod grijaće ploče i dodatni PCIe utori

Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro je matična ploča s punim značajkama koja nudi gotovo sve što vam je potrebno u pogledu hardvera i opcija ako želite izgraditi snažno računalo koristeći Alder Lake procesor, DDR5 i brze SSD-ove. Općenito, cijenimo kvalitetu izrade. Ali što se tiče izgleda, radije bismo imali potpuno crnu boju, uključujući i raspršivače topline. Po našem mišljenju, to bi bilo bolje, dopuštajući potpuno crnu izradu, s obzirom da na njoj praktički nema ugrađenih RGB svjetala.^{(The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro is a full-featured motherboard that offers almost everything you need in terms of hardware and options if you want to build a powerful PC using an Alder Lake processor, DDR5, and fast SSDs. Overall, we appreciate the build quality a lot. But regarding the way it looks, we would have preferred a completely black paint on it, including the heat spreaders. In our opinion, that would’ve been better, allowing for a full-black build, considering that there are practically no built-in RGB lights on it.)}

Unboxing the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro motherboard

Gigabyte’s AORUS Z690 Pro is a mid-range motherboard designed to work with Intel’s latest 12th generation processors, which you find out immediately after you receive it if you look at the features and specs printed on its box. Speaking of which, the package looks good, it’s made of rigid cardboard and features a Sci-Fi design with a stylized cyber-eagle picture on its top side.

The box of the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

Opening the box reveals the motherboard and its bundled accessories. Unfortunately, we received a testing sample, so it’s likely that not everything was in the box. However, we did find the user manual, some screws, SATA cables, as well as some RGB and ARGB cables and connectors. Theoretically, you should also get a Wi-Fi antenna, as the motherboard includes wireless connectivity.

Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro: What’s inside the box

When we unboxed the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro, the first thing we noticed was that this is a good-looking motherboard overall.

Hardware specifications and design

The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro is a motherboard targeted at gamers who are looking for something mid-range but full-featured and with a reasonable price. That is to say that this motherboard is one of the few reasonably-priced models based on the Z690 chipset you can get at the time of this review. At a price of about 330 USD, it gives you plenty of options and features.

Let’s start with the design, as that’s the first thing you see when you receive it. The motherboard uses black as the primary color, but most of its heatsinks are gray. The PCB and the I/O panel are painted black, contrasting with the lighter shades of gray on the top VRM heatsink and the plate covering the M.2 slots. Although there are RGB headers on it, the mainboard itself doesn’t have built-in RGB LEDs. The only thing that lights up by default is the small Aorus text on the plate covering the I/O panel.

A view of the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

On the hardware side, one of the things that draw attention is the passively cooled, high-quality VRM (Voltage Regulator Module). It’s able to deliver up to 90A, which means that you can overclock your processor without fear. 🙂

The processor takes its power from the motherboard via a standard 24-pin ATX main power connector found on the top-right side and also from two additional (one 8-pin and one 4-pin) connectors located in the top-left corner of the mainboard.

VRM and CPU power connectors

Because it’s designed for Intel Alder Lake processors, or 12th generation Core CPUs if you prefer, the motherboard uses the new LGA1700 socket. Which means that, when publishing this review, the options you have are Intel Core i9-12900K and KF, Intel Core i7-12700K and KF, or Intel Core i5-12600K and KF. However, coming spring of 2022, Intel should launch other processor models.

The processor slot on the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

One of the best things about Intel’s new CPU lineup is that, besides DDR4, they also support DDR5 RAM. The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro motherboard works with the faster DDR5. There are four DDR5 DIMM slots on it, able to fit up to a maximum capacity of 128GB. The mainboard supports XMP 3.0 which, depending on the RAM modules you use, lets you easily set their speed at up to 6200MHz. And you can take that even further by overclocking your RAM if you want.

Headers and ATX power connector

Being based on the Z690 chipset, the motherboard also supports PCIe 5.0, though only for the graphics card slot (x16). However, there are also two PCIe 3.0 slots at the bottom of the mainboard, beneath the gray plate that covers some of the M.2 slots. Speaking of which, all the M.2 drives you connect can work in PCIe 4.0 x4 mode.

PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot for the graphics card

The network connectivity options on the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro are excellent. For wired connections, we get an Intel I225-V chip supporting speeds of up to 2.5Gbps, and for wireless, we get up to 2.4Gbps connections via an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 chip!

The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro also delivers high-quality audio. It’s equipped with a Realtek ALC4080 CODEC that has an excellent 120 dB SNR (Signal-To-Noise ratio) for playback and 110 dB SNR for recording. Strangely though, Gigabyte opted to mount only two jacks on the motherboard: one stereo output and one microphone input. However, the SPDIF OUT port supports audio rendering in 7.1 surround mode if you want it.

The input/output panel on the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro

To continue with connectivity options, on the I/O panel, you also get plenty of USB and other types of ports: one USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (the red ones), four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two SMA antenna connectors (2T2R), and one DisplayPort.

Then, there are all the internal input/output connectors and headers found on the motherboard. The list is long, but you might want to know what’s on the menu, so here it is: one CPU fan header, one water cooling CPU fan header, four system fan headers, two system fan/water cooling pump headers, two addressable LED strip headers, two RGB LED strip headers, one front panel header, one front panel audio header, one USB Type-C header with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 header, two USB 2.0/1.1 headers, one noise detection header, two Thunderbolt add-in card connectors, one Trusted Platform Module header, and two temperature sensor headers. Additionally, the motherboard also has a few built-in buttons and jumpers, as follows: a power button, a reset button, a Q-Flash Plus button, a reset jumper, and a Clear CMOS jumper.

M.2 slots under a heat plate and additional PCIe slots

The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro is a full-featured motherboard that offers almost everything you need in terms of hardware and options if you want to build a powerful PC using an Alder Lake processor, DDR5, and fast SSDs. Overall, we appreciate the build quality a lot. But regarding the way it looks, we would have preferred a completely black paint on it, including the heat spreaders. In our opinion, that would’ve been better, allowing for a full-black build, considering that there are practically no built-in RGB lights on it.
