Z690 motherboards aren't all compatible with DDR5 memory. We have split the motherboards below into DDR5 and DDR4 compatible. If you purchase a DDR5 compatible motherboard you will not be able to install DDR4 memory, if you purchase a DDR4 compatible motherboard you will not be able to install DDR5 memory, more details at the FAQ at the bottom of the page.

12TH GEN INTEL® CORE™ COMPATIBLE COOLING
The new LGA 1700 socket for Intel 12th Gen processors means that older coolers may not be compatible, or may require a new mounting bracket before they can be used.
Below are coolers that already include an LGA 1700 mounting bracket in the box. For most brands, we are expecting to see the new LGA 1700 mounting brackets included with new stock we buy, but our current stock may not include the bracket.
We are also hoping to see mounting bracket kits come from our CPU cooling partners soon, meaning that our current stock will be compatible once they arrive.
DDR5 MEMORY
DDR5 memory is available NOW!*
One of the most exciting features of the new Intel 12th Gen processors and Z690 motherboards is the compatibility with new DDR5 memory. This brings with it benefits such as higher memory capacities, higher frequencies, as well as on-die ECC.
Bear in mind that DDR5 memory is only compatible with a new Z690 motherboard that supports it, you won't be able to install the memory in a DDR4 compatible motherboard.
*Supply of DDR5 memory is still tight.
