Description
ASUS Prime series motherboards are engineered by experts to fully unleash the potential of 13th Gen Intel Core processors. With a robust power delivery system, comprehensive cooling solutions, and intelligent tuning options, the PRIME Z790-P WIFI offers PC users and builders a range of performance optimizations through intuitive software and firmware features.
Comprehensive energy efficiency.
Energy-saving features include multiple settings that make it easy to optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable CPU power limits, dim Aura lighting, set fan profiles to energy-saving mode, and switch to the power-saving plan built into Microsoft Windows.
Flexible cooling control.
Users gain full control over fans, pumps, and complete water-cooling systems via the ASUS Fan Xpert 4 utility. In automatic tuning mode, all cooling parameters are set with a single mouse click, regardless of cooler type. In silent mode, fans run at low speeds to minimize noise. Cooling settings can also be managed through the UEFI BIOS interface.
Digital power delivery.
The Digi+ VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) provides real-time power control and allows precise tuning of the CPU voltage regulator for maximum system stability and performance.
Advanced tuning.
The Advanced mode in UEFI BIOS is designed for fine-tuning the system and offers a built-in parameter search function. Optimize system settings, save configuration profiles, overclock components, and fully unlock processor potential.
Easy and fast setup.
The simplified EZ Mode displays key parameters, system statistics, and step-by-step setup wizards, making it ideal for quick initial computer configuration.
M.2 heatsink.
A passive heatsink can be installed on one of the two M.2 slots to minimize the risk of SSD performance throttling due to high temperatures and ensure ultra-fast data transfer.
VRM heatsink and thermal pads.
Large heatsinks cover the VRM and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially designed thermal pads, they enhance heat transfer from MOSFETs and chokes, increasing cooling efficiency.
Multiple temperature sources.
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 can display temperatures from supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for CPU- and GPU-intensive tasks.
AIO pump header.
Dedicated PWM/DC connector for standalone water-cooling setups.
Automatic protection.
A separate integrated circuit protects all fan headers from overheating and overcurrent.
4-pin PWM/DC fan.
Each onboard header supports automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.
ProCool connectors.
These 4+8 pin connectors directly link the 12V power rail from the PSU to the CPU. Each connector features an exclusive full-contact design capable of handling high current.
14+1 power stage design.
The motherboard's power system uses a 14+1 phase power design with high- and low-side MOSFETs and drivers rated for up to 50A. This integration delivers improved power efficiency.
ASUS OptiMem II.
A new solution for maximizing memory subsystem bandwidth. OptiMem II technology uses optimized memory trace routing on a specific PCB layer to reduce via stub length, along with additional shielding zones to eliminate electromagnetic interference.
Benefits of ASUS OptiMem II.
Improved memory module stability and guaranteed compatibility.
Reduced memory access latency at equivalent voltage.
Enhanced memory frequency overclocking headroom.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C.
Multiple USB ports, including a rear-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connector, support various peripheral devices.
2.5G Ethernet by Realtek.
The Realtek 2.5G Ethernet controller delivers high TCP and UDP packet processing speeds and reduces CPU overhead.
Integrated features deliver enhanced audio.
Intelligent design and premium hardware deliver sound quality unlike anything you've experienced before.
Aura Sync.
A finely tuned system deserves matching aesthetics. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with various functional presets for onboard RGB LEDs, strips, and devices connected to RGB headers—all synchronizable with an ever-growing range of Aura-compatible hardware.
