Asus ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WIFI Socket 1700 Motherboard

Break the 6 GHz barrier in style with the Strix Z790-E. Translucent covers outline its RGB power panel, alluding to its ability to jump to light speed under the guidance of AI Overclocking and a hyper-reactive VRM. DDR5 enhancements and a variety of PCIe 5.0 options further boost speeds, and setup is a breeze thanks to its unique Q-Design feature set.
 
PCIE ® Q-RELEASE SLOT
A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with a single touch, greatly simplifying the process of removing a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.
 
M.2 Q-LATCH
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the unit and neatly eliminate traditional screws.
 
BIOS FLASHBACK™
BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and easy way to update the BIOS. Simply drop the BIOS (UEFI) 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.
 
TOTAL PERFORMANCE
Every aspect of the Strix Z790-E is finely tuned so that the processor, memory and connected devices can work at the same time for blazing speeds.
 
AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict optimal settings and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be activated automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation.
 
PCIE 5.0
Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix Z790-E offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The top x16 expansion slot is Gen 5 ready and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to support the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the integrated M.2 slots is designed for 16GB/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface, while the rest can deliver impressive 8GB/s transfers. Each M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dissipate heat from next-gen drives

POWER ARCHITECTURE
18+1 power stages, each rated at 90A, deliver ample current to power the most powerful 13th Gen Intel processors through any workload with ease.
 
DDR5 DOMINATION
ROG has a long legacy of flexing faster memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast kits have now been pushed well beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-E, and who knows how far the DIMMs of the future can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by playing with the wide range of tuning options in UEFI.
 
LEADING CONNECTIVITY
Ultra-fast networking keeps the Strix Z790-E in sync with the outside world for uninterrupted gaming and creation. In addition to fast data transfers, connected devices can now be recharged quickly thanks to 30W charging support. And SupremeFX audio makes sound clear and punchy to shape truly immersive experiences.
 
WI-FI 6E
Integrated WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultra-fast performance and better performance in dense wireless environments.
 
Intel 2.5G Ethernet
Low latency gaming, fast file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are some of the many benefits of integrated Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
 
USB 3.2 GEN 2X2
The Strix Z790-E comes loaded with two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C ® connectors for fast data transfers of up to 20 Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O; the other can be connected to the front panel of the chassis and also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30W.
 
ROG SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique combination of hardware and software technologies that deliver superior audio. The Strix Z790-E implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz on all channels. The front panel output is fed through the integrated Savitech amplifier which can drive high fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headphones.
 
PLAY WITH STYLE
The black PCB and heatsinks complement most of the hardware, and customizable RGB lighting increases flexibility. Combine the Strix Z790-E with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem to create a fully customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.

ROG STRIX
Diagonal slats, brushed aluminum, and bold RGB have become hallmarks of the ROG aesthetic, and the Strix Z790-E wears them all proudly. But for this generation, translucent diffusers line the I/O cover and Q-Release die, contrasting softly with nearby metal heatsinks.
 
SOFTWARE UTILITIES
A host of exclusive ROG tools put advanced system configuration and tuning at your fingertips.
 
IA II COOLING
Balance the temperature and acoustics of any building with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm reduces unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test and then monitoring CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
 
Sonic Studio
Sonic Studio supports HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function*)-based virtual environment for headphones, creating an immersive listening landscape that draws you deeper into the action. Sonic Studio's intuitive interface also offers a range of one-click EQ options and presets, allowing you to tailor the acoustics to suit your personal preferences or the characteristics of your headphones.
 
AIDA64 Extreme
The ROG Strix Z790-E includes a sixty-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription, a tool that provides detailed hardware and software information, as well as benchmarks to measure the performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostic function to detect and prevent hardware problems. All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or liquid cooler LCD panels. ROG AIO*.
 
Armory Crate
Armory Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to fine-tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armory Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and sync them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. Additionally, Armory Crate's Fan Xpert4 tool provides complete control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.
 
You can use Armory Crate to download drivers, tools, and user manuals, and to register products. You also take advantage of a special news feed that connects you to the global ASUS gaming community.
