The ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A runs two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots

What PCIe slots are present on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A?

The ROG STRIX Z690-A goes all-in on Gen 5. Both x16 slots run at PCIe 5.0 — the primary at full x16, the second at x4. That’s two future-proofed slots on an LGA 1700 board, which is unusual even on the Z690 flagship. There’s also one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for smaller add-on cards. If you’re building a multi-GPU or high-bandwidth storage rig, this board has the lanes.
