ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI (Intel® 14th, 13th & 12th Gen) LGA 1700 ATX motherboard, 16+1+1 power stages, PCIe® 5.0, DDR5, 4xM.2 slots, WiFi 6E, front USB 20Gbps, PD 3.0, Thunderbolt™ 4 header

Power Design

• Premium Power Delivery

  16+1+1 power stages are each rated to handle up to 60 amperes, combining high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package to deliver power, efficiency and stable performance for all compatible Intel processors.

• Six-Layer PCB Design

  The 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.

• 8+8 PIN ProCool Power Connectors

  Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.

• TUF Components

  Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-solid power to the CPU, improving system stability.

• Digi+ VRM

  The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

Unleash DDR5 with AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature that allows users to achieve supreme memory performance and compatibility with optimized clock speeds, even when they're using PMIC-restricted memory modules that do not provide an XMP or EXPO profile. Developed through a flexible training method, AEMP II simplifies the process of fine-tuning memory settings beyond the baseline configuration, all while ensuring system stability. This applies whether you are maximizing the potential of an entry-level module or preparing a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.
Now, AEMP II offers even more flexibility. With the latest firmware update, AEMP II allows users to optimize the performance of a four-DIMM DDR5 RAM configuration, even with a mixture of different brands and dies. Increasing the memory capacity of your build by adding additional DIMMs has never been easier — with AEMP II, you can get optimized memory performance even when all four memory modules are not an exact match, provided that all four DIMMs have the same capacity.

Connectivity

• USB 20Gbps (Type-C^®)

  Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This TUF GAMING motherboard includes a USB Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

• PCIe 5.0

  The latest Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.

• Front USB 20Gbps (Type-C^®)

  The TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI features a USB 20Gbps Type-C^® front panel connector for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps. And it offers Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to provide up to 30 watts of quick charging. With USB Wattage Watcher, users can glance at their device's charging wattage in real time and check on their device’s Fast-Charging status.

• Thunderbolt™(USB4^®) Support

  The TUF GAMING Z790 series features Thunderbolt 4 support via an on-board header. With an Intel-certified ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add-on card*, this motherboard can also enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multiscreen connection and supports up to an 8K-resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 watts of power to fast-charge devices.

Cooler by Design

The TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI is armed with an enlarged VRM heatsink, while three M.2 slots and the PCH feature heatsinks that provide the perfect balance of mass and surface area for heat dissipation.

• Enlarged VRM Heatsink

  The extensive surface area of this heatsink covers the VRMs and chokes to improve thermal performance.

• Superb PCH Heatsink

  An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes system performance and heat dissipation.

• Optimized M.2 Heatsink Design

  Three of the four M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks to help keep M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures and ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation

This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are muffled so you can hear and be heard with excellent clarity while gaming or during calls.

*An audio splitter (3.5 mm audio jack Y-cable) is necessary when using a 3.5 mm headset.
