AEMP III
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an enhanced firmware that allows you to achieve unparalleled memory performance when using the latest CUDIMM modules. Thanks to a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. The result is an optimal balance between performance and stability, even at the most modern DDR5-8000 speeds and beyond.
DIMM FLEX
DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a new, powerful way to overclock DDR5 memory modules. It uses a specialized circuit that can boost performance or eliminate potential stability issues depending on temperature readings. At nominal temperatures, it can utilize additional headroom to increase speed and efficiency. And when the temperature rises, it can adjust memory behavior towards reduction to maintain stability.
VRM Radiator Array
Two thick radiators covering the power delivery section provide strategic airflow channels for enhanced heat dissipation when working with high-performance Intel Core Ultra processors (2nd generation).
WIFI 7. Revolutionary WiFi 7 is 4.8 times faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to technologies such as 320 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking unprecedented possibilities in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT
Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet
The built-in Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet allows you to increase the speed of a wired connection by 2.5 times compared to standard Ethernet connections for fast file transfer, low-latency gaming, and high-resolution video streaming.
ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna
The dual receivers support 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, providing higher throughput, while directional sensitivity allows you to improve signal quality and cover greater distances. Disclaimer: The availability of WiFi 7 160 GHz and 320 GHz depends on regional legislation.
PCIE 5.0
The ROG Strix Z890-A offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, and the top expansion slot x16 is protected by a SafeSlot retaining bracket that can withstand the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the onboard M.2 slots is designed for impressive read and write speeds of up to 16 GB/s, while others can provide data transfer rates of 8 GB/s. Each M.2 slot is equipped with powerful radiators to dissipate heat from next-generation storage devices.
TWO THUNDERBOLT 4 TYPE-C PORTS
Each port provides bi-directional bandwidth up to 40 Gbps for the latest ultra-fast devices and storage. Both ports can be used to connect to two external 4K displays, while PCIe bandwidth increases to 32 Gbps.
USB Power Control
USB Wattage Watcher allows users to monitor the current power being supplied to a device connected to the rear USB 10Gbps Type-C I/O port. With USB Wattage Watcher, users can track the charging power of a device in real time and check the fast charging status of the device
DOLBY ATMOS. ROG and Dolby have partnered to provide users with exceptional gaming audio quality. Dolby Atmos expands the capabilities of traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing you to perceive three-dimensional sound from above, below, and around the listener.
SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique combination of hardware and software technologies that deliver amazing sound. The Strix Z890-A implements the ALC4080 codec to reproduce high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz on all channels. The front panel output is transmitted through a built-in Savitech amplifier, which can deliver high-fidelity sound to a wide range of speakers and headsets.
