PRIME Z790-A WIFI
ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors.
Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options,
PRIME Z790-A WIFI provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features.
The ASUS PRIME Z790-A WIFI offers this all in a sleek, futuristic-looking package centered around a spaceship design aesthetic, with a silver-toned nameplate and chipset cover.
M.2 Heatsinks
Three M.2 heatsinks cover four M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.
ProCool Connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the PSU with 8+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.
PCIe® Slot Q-Release
A physical button located on the chipset heatsink unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one press,
greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.
Q-Latch
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools.
The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws.
SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot,
to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed.
Meanwhile, strong ASUS SafeDIMM sheathes support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards,
empowering you to insert your modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.
