This motherboard is suitable for professionals, gamers, and demanding users who seek high performance, flexibility, and reliability from their system.
The Asus Prime Z790-P offers superior performance with support for the latest technologies, such as DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and USB 4.0, providing users with the ability to leverage high data transfer speeds and extensive system expansion capabilities.
Additionally, the Asus Prime Z790-P offers flexible connectivity with a plethora of USB ports, 2.5Gb Ethernet network support, and other networking capabilities.
Intelligent Control
ASUS Intelligent Control makes your computer smart. Along with taking care of complex settings and dynamically optimizing key aspects of your system, it offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as more comprehensive functions for experienced users.
Comprehensive Energy Efficiency
The power-saving feature includes various settings that can easily optimize energy consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, turn off Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to power-saving mode. You can also activate the power-saving plan built into Microsoft Windows.
Flexible air and liquid cooling controls
Whether you’re cooling with air or water, an auto-tuning function intelligently adjusts all parameters with a single click.
The ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AiO) coolers.
There is also the Extreme Quiet mode which reduces all fan speeds below the default minimum threshold, keeping your system silent during light tasks. Fans, water pumps, and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Precise Digital Power Control
The Digi+ VRM voltage regulation module provides real-time control of voltage drop, automatically adjusting frequency and power performance settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your processor for ultimate stability and performance.
The motherboard PRIME Z790-P is built with multiple integrated heatsinks and a range of hybrid fan connectors to ensure that your equipment remains cool and stable under heavy system load conditions.
M.2 Heatsink
The flexible M.2 heatsink with removable standoff screws can take care of the M.2_1 or M.2_3 slot, preventing throttling that may occur with M.2 storage during continuous transfers.
VRM Heatsinks
The extended surface of the large heatsinks covers the VRM units and the chokes to improve heat dissipation.
Combined with specially designed thermal pads, they enhance heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
Multiple Temperature Sources
Each connection can dynamically refer to three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU and CPU intensive tasks.
AIO Pump Connector
A dedicated PWM/DC connection for standalone water cooling systems.
Smart Protection
A special integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overvoltage.
4-Pin PWM/DC Fan Connectors
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Performance
The motherboard PRIME Z790-P is built to handle the high core count and bandwidth demands of 13th generation Intel Core processors. The ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the essential elements to enhance everyday productivity, ensuring your system is ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling, and flexible data transfer options.
ProCool Connectors
The proprietary sockets enhance the connection of the motherboard to the power supply with 4 + 8 pin sockets that deliver 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each socket features solid pins that can handle more current than connectors with hollow pins.
14 + 1 power stages
The 14 + 1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers in 50-amp rated packages each, delivering power, efficiency, stability, and performance to the latest Intel processors.
AEMP II for ultimate DDR5 performance
The ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for memory modules with PMIC restrictions. AEMP II relies on the CPU and memory module's ability to train the memory chips in your kit and presents an optimized clock speed that can effortlessly unleash performance.
Built through a flexible training method, AEMP II facilitates not only the adjustment of memory beyond basic settings but also the maintenance of system operation stability, whether maximizing an entry-level module or preparing a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.
ASUS OptiMem II
Revisions in the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal paths across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows for lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Enhanced memory frequency margin
Three M.2 slots, up to 64 Gbps
The PRIME Z790-P offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, allowing for faster boot and application load times with operating system or application drives.
PCIe 5.0 Slot
PCIe 5.0 offers double the data transfer speed compared to PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new tasks with large data volumes. PCIe 5.0 also brings other advantages, 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 2x2 Type-C
A range of USB ports support high-spec equipment loaded with peripherals, including rear USB Type-C ports with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 superspeed for transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
Thunderbolt 4 Support
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard features USB4 support via an integrated Thunderbolt (USB4) connection. With an additional ASUS card, PRIME motherboards can enable bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while also providing power for fast device charging. Additionally, this card features a daisy-chain function for connecting multiple displays and supports up to two 4K resolution monitors.
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet
The Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU load and offers extremely high TCP and UDP performance for faster and smoother data transfers.
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level network protection feature that incorporates advanced signal coupling technology and top-tier anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to enhance performance and ensure a more reliable connection.
Aura Sync
A well-tuned system deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the built-in RGB headers - and all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
ARGB Gen 2 Connection
Three addressable RGB Gen 2 headers are capable of detecting the number of LEDs in second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically adjust lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward compatibility with existing Aura RGB devices.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate allows you to easily customize RGB lighting and effects for each of your compatible devices. The software also provides control over settings for an ever-growing number of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate even features dedicated product registration and news to help you stay in touch with the ASUS community.
