https://www.techpowerup.com/295486/nzxt-announces-the-n7-n5-z690-atx-motherboards NZXT, a leading designer of computer hardware, software, and services for the PC gaming community, today announces the release of the NZXT N7 & N5 Z690 motherboard, their latest Intel-based ATX motherboard with both the features and aesthetic that builders love.
The NZXT N7 Z690 improves on the experience builders have come to expect from NZXT. With Intel's newest chipset, support for Intel's 12th generation Alder Lake CPUs, PCIe Gen 5.0, and Wi-Fi 6e and Bluetooth V5.2, giving it all the features that make up a powerful gaming PC. The new N5 brings all features of the N7 but without the metal cover to give users all the features, but at a lower price. Giving people more options so that they can build a gaming PC to fit their needs.
