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
Fully embracing the new standard; the Strix Z790-E offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready; and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the onboard M.2 slots is geared for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface; while all the rest can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
Power Design
Power Architecture: 18 + 1 power stages each rated to 90A deliver ample current to drive the most powerful Intel 13th Gen processors through any workload with ease.
Alloy Chokes And Durable Capacitors: Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures; enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
Dual 8-Pin Procool Ii Power Connectors: ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.
Eight-Layer PCB: A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Memory
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-E; 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.
Cooling
VRM Heatsink Array: Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th Gen processors.
Networking
WiFi 6E: Onboard WiFi 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.
Intel 2.5G Ethernet: Low-latency gaming; speedy file transfers; and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
USB
USB 3.2 Gen 2X2: The Strix Z790-E 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 30W.
Supreme
ROG Supreme is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z790-E 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.
Aura Sync
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.
