ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi ATX Motherboard

Expert Features ~ OPEN BOX Intel LGA1700 Platform : Supports compatible 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Intel Core processors , plus selected Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs, giving builders multiple generations of CPU flexibility. Intel Z790 Chipset : Unlocks enthusiast-level tuning, high-speed connectivity, flexible PCIe expansion, and extensive storage options for powerful gaming and creator builds. 16+1+2 Power Architecture : Power stages rated for up to 70A each , dual 8-pin ProCool II connectors, alloy chokes, durable capacitors, and a six-layer PCB help feed demanding multi-core processors with stable power. High-Speed DDR5 Support : Four DIMM slots support up to 192GB DDR5 , dual-channel architecture, Intel XMP, ASUS AEMP II, OptiMem II, and memory speeds reaching 7800+ MT/s when overclocked . PCIe 5.0 Graphics Slot : The reinforced primary PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot provides next-generation GPU bandwidth and includes PCIe Slot Q-Release for easier graphics-card removal. Four M.2 Storage Slots : Install up to four M.2 drives through PCIe 4.0 x4-capable slots, including support for longer M.2 22110 devices in two positions. M.2 SATA Flexibility : The fourth M.2 slot supports both PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA modes , giving builders more freedom when reusing different SSD types. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 : Integrated 2×2 Wi-Fi supports 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and region-dependent 6GHz bands, while Bluetooth handles compatible wireless accessories. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet : Fast wired networking with ASUS LANGuard is ready for low-latency gaming, large downloads, local transfers, and high-resolution streaming. Dual 20Gbps USB-C Connectivity : Includes one rear USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port and one internal front-panel connector with up to 30W USB Power Delivery . SupremeFX ALC4080 Audio : The ALC4080 codec, Savitech amplifier, premium capacitors, shielding, optical output, and up to 32-bit/384kHz playback deliver a serious onboard-audio setup. White-Build-Friendly Styling : Large silver metallic heatsinks, a dark PCB, transparent I/O detailing, and customizable Aura Sync illumination make this board perfect for bright showcase gaming systems. Builder-Friendly Q-Design : M.2 Q-Latch, Q-DIMM, Q-LED diagnostics, BIOS FlashBack, Clear CMOS, pre-mounted I/O shielding, and PCIe Q-Release make building and troubleshooting far less rage-inducing.
