PRIME Z790M-PLUS
ASUS Prime Z790M-PLUS , an Intel Z790 LGA 1700 mATX motherboard with PCIe 5.0, three M.2 slots, 10+1 DrMOS, DDR5, Intel 1 Gb LAN, HDMI, DP, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, Thunderbolt (USB4) support, Arua Sync
Intel LGA 1700 socket: Ready for 12th and 13th Gen Intel processors Enhanced power solution: 10+1 DrMOS, 6-layer PCB, ProCool connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors for stable power delivery Next-gen connectivity: DDR5 memory,PCIe 5.0, Intel 1 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, front panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, Thunderbolt (USB4) header support Exclusive Memory Technology: ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II and ASUS OptiMem II Comprehensive cooling: Large VRM heatsinks, PCH heatsink, hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II
AI Cooling ll
AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads
The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
Robust Power Design
Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790M-PLUS is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.
1. ProCool Connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the PSU with 4 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
2. 10 + 1 Teamed Power Stages
10 + 1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into packages rated for 50 amperes each, delivering power, efficiency, stability and performance to latest Intel processors.
AEMP II for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP II is based on a CPU and memory module’s ability to train the memory chips on your kit, and it presents an optimized clock speed that can effortlessly unleash performance.
Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)
PRIME Z790M-PLUS offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
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-heavy 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 compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C
A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including the rear USB Type-C connector with ultrafast USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 compliant)
PRIME Z790M-PLUS motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. With an ASUS add-on card*, PRIME motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution.
M.2 Slot (Key E)
PRIME Z790M-PLUS motherboard comes along with a M.2 Slot (Key E) which can support type 2230 Wi-Fi/BT and Intel CNVi (Integrated Wi-Fi/BT) module
