Asus ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II LGA1700 ATX Motherboard

This ATX motherboard is engineered around the Intel Z790 chipset, providing a stable platform for 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Intel Core processors using the LGA1700 socket. Its power delivery system is designed to handle demanding CPUs, drawing power through dual 8-pin connectors to ensure consistent performance during intensive tasks. The board's thermal architecture includes substantial heatsinks for the VRM, chipset, and M.2 slots to effectively dissipate heat and maintain operational stability. Its standard ATX dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of mid-tower and full-tower PC enclosures.

The board is equipped with four DIMM slots that support up to 192 GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory, with overclocking profiles enabling speeds up to 8000 MHz. For data storage, it offers extensive options with five M.2 slots, one of which utilizes a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface for compatibility with the fastest available solid-state drives. In addition to M.2 support, four SATA 6Gb/s ports are available for conventional hard drives and SSDs. The primary expansion slot is a metal-reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16, designed to accommodate high-performance graphics cards.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired and wireless networking. The rear I/O panel provides a comprehensive selection of ports, including ten USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports for peripherals. Onboard audio is processed by the ALC4080 codec, which supports multi-channel output. Internal headers are available for front panel connections, additional USB ports, system fans, and RGB lighting components.
