Asus Prime Z790-P Intel 1700 Motherboard - HDMI, DisplayPort, PCIe 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 M2, 4x Sata III, USB 2.0, 3.2, USB-C, RJ-45

ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly designed to unleash the full potential of 13th generation Intel Core processors. With a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions, and smart tuning options,
-Intelligent Control: ASUS Intelligent Control makes your PC smart. In addition to handling complex adjustments and dynamically optimizing essential aspects of your system, it offers intelligently simplified options for those new to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive functions for experienced veterans.
-AI Cooling II: AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm reduces unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
-UEFI BIOS: The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, modify, and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners as well as comprehensive features for experienced veterans.
-M.2 heatsink: The flexible M.2 heatsink with removable captive screws can cover the M.2_1 or M.2_3 slot, preventing the throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.
VRM heatsinks and thermal pads: The large surface area of the massive heatsinks covers the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially designed thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
-Cooler by design: PRIME Z790-P features comprehensive cooling controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 software or through the UEFI BIOS.
-Multiple temperature sources: Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 lets you map the temperature of compatible ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
-AIO pump header: A dedicated PWM/DC header for standalone water cooling setups.
-Smart protection: A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header against overheating and overcurrent.
-4-pin PWM/DC fan: Each built-in header supports automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.
-ProCool connectors: Proprietary connectors reinforce the motherboard-to-PSU link with 4+8 pin connectors that deliver 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
-14(50A)+1(60A)+1 power stages: 14(50A)+1(60A)+1 power stages combine high- and low-side MOSFETs and controllers in packages capable of up to 60 amps each, delivering power, efficiency, stability, and performance to the latest Intel processors.
-Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps): The PRIME Z790-P-CSM offers a total of three M.2 slots supporting data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling faster boot times and application loading with OS or application drives. *Actual transfer speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
-PCIe 5.0 slot: PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-intensive 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 PCI Express backward compatibility.
-USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C: A range of USB ports supports high-end setups loaded with peripherals, including rear USB Type-C connectors with ultra-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
-Thunderbolt 4 (USB4-compatible): The PRIME Z790-P-CSM motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. With an additional ASUS card*, PRIME motherboards can enable bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps over a single cable, while providing power to quickly charge the device. This card also has a daisy-chain function for connecting multiple displays and supports up to two 4K-resolution displays. *The additional ASUS card is sold separately.
-Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet: Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and delivers exceptionally high TCP and UDP performance for faster, smoother data transfers.
-Outshine the competition with Aura Sync: A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching look. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a range of functional presets for built-in RGB LEDs, as well as strips and devices connected to built-in RGB headers, all of which can be synced with a growing portfolio of Aura-compatible hardware.
-Addressable Gen 2 RGB header: Three addressable Gen 2 RGB headers can detect the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, letting the software automatically adapt lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward compatibility with existing Aura RGB equipment.
-Armoury Crate: Within a single, intuitive interface, Armoury Crate offers easily customized Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, plus controls for a growing family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news service so you never miss updates of interest to the ASUS community.
