AQUA, NEW BEGINNING!

How to make AQUA better? It’s a topic we’ve been working on for years. The monoblock efficiency is enhanced by optimizing the best combination of fin thickness, spacing as well as water passage, on top of that, ultra-high heat conductive thermal grease is used to guarantee Z690 AQUA performs best in every single way. Lastly, the prestige and superior Z690 AQUA motherboard will be limited production to only 500 units.  

EXCELSIOR

Z690 AQUA is built around a selection of materials, the stainless steel panels are given assortment of surface treatments to give Z690 AQUA a modern and avant-garde appearance, onboard LED effect is intentionally design to be modest and subtle, once again making Z690 AQUA one boutique of a motherboard.
