Intcomex SKU: MB790ROG02
Part number: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI
Product description
Well-versed in style, performance, cooling, and connectivity, the DDR5 variant of the ROG STRIX Z790-A exudes the same balance as its D4 brethren, but after taking a master class in memory. A robust VRM topped with stout silver heatsinks comfortably articulates power for the Intel 13th Gen Core processors, while PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E, and high-speed USB flesh out the board's fluency across a variety of disciplines. And a vast collection of tuning options and utilities derived from its ROG heritage are the icing on top.
Product features
  • AI Overclocking
    Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
  • PCIe 5.0
    The PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot is well-equipped for the increased size and bandwidth of next-gen graphics cards. Zippy storage options abound with four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, all featuring robust heatsinks to maximize performance.
  • Power architecture
    16 + 1 power stages rated to 70 A each deliver ample current in order to drive 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors through any workload with ease.
  • DDR5 domination
    ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the STRIX Z790-A, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.
  • AEMP II
    ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution to overclock generic memory modules. AEMP's second version allows for automatic tuning of kits during system startup and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the STRIX Z790-A to push frequencies higher than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the vast library of support now extends to nearly every DDR5 module that does not otherwise have XMP support.
  • VRM heatsinks
    Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th Gen processors.
  • M.2 backplate
    An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
  • M.2 heatsinks
    Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
  • CPU fan headers
    Positioned near the top of the motherboard, a pair of PWM/DC fan headers give easy access for CPU coolers
    /
    AIO pump fan header
    A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.
  • 4-pin fan headers
    The STRIX Z790-A features four chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
  • Wi-Fi 6E
    Onboard Wi Fi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
    The STRIX Z790-A comes loaded with two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O; the other can be attached to the chassis front panel and it also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30 W.
  • SupremeFX
    ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The STRIX Z790-A implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
  • Undeniably ROG STRIX
    The ROG STRIX Z790-A boldly embraces the light, for an alternate take on build themes to its dark and brooding brother, the STRIX Z790-F. Metallic heatsinks pop against a dark PCB backdrop and call attention to the board's high capacity for thermal management. A transparent layer on the I/O shield adds a unique touch and emphasizes the customizable RGB logo below. The whole design is tied together with ROG-centric detailing on the board, heatsinks, and I/O shield for a vibrant and futuristic outlook.
  • Outshine the competition
    ROG STRIX motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
