Asus ROG Strix Z790-A ATX Motherboard

Description

About this item:

• PCIE® Slot Q-Release – A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one press, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

• 2 Q-Latch – The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an SSD from an M.2 slot. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, eliminating the need for a traditional screw.

• Clear CMOS – The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

• BIOS FlashBack™ – BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

• Q-LED – Four onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.

• All-Round Performance – Robust power delivery, speedy storage and memory, and comprehensive cooling elevate any build with the ROG Strix Z790-A at its center

• AI Overclocking – Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

• PCIE 5.0 – The top PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot is well-equipped for the increased size and bandwidth of next-gen graphics cards. Zippy storage options abound with four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, all featuring robust heatsinks to maximize performance.

• Power Architecture – 16 + 1 power stages rated to 70A each deliver ample current to drive 13th and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors through any workload with ease.

• Alloy Chokes & Durable Capacitors – Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.

• Dual ProCool II Power Connectors – ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.

• Six-Layer PCB – A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

• OptiMem III – With proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies, reduced voltages, and operate at higher frequencies.

• VRM Heatsinks – Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th Gen processors.

• 2 Backplate – An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.​

• 2 Heatsinks – Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

• CPU Fan Headers – A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.

• AIO Pump Fan Header – A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.

• 4-Pin Fan Headers – Each header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

• Leading Connectivity – The ROG Strix Z790-A delivers next-gen connectivity for ultrafast data transfers and low-latency networking. Those perks are joined by an advanced audio solution that allows you to pick out the smallest cues and home in on your opponents.
