About the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II Motherboard
All-round Performance
Robust power delivery, breakneck DDR5 memory, speedy storage, and comprehensive cooling elevate any build with the ROGASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II at its center.
PCIE 5.0
The top 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 maximise performance.
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 8 GT/s mark on the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II, 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.
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.
VRM heatsinks
Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th and 14th 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.
Leading Connectivity
Next-gen connectivity and low-latency networking are hallmarks of the ROG ecosystem, and the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II delivers both of them in full. Joining them is an advanced audio solution for immersive sound so you can pick out the slightest cues and nuances.
WiFi 7
With Multi-Link Operation (MLO), WiFi 7 can outperform WiFi 6E to deliver faster speeds, higher reliability and increased data transfer efficiency.
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 20Gbps
The Strix Z790-A II comes loaded with two USB 20Gbps Type-C connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20Gbps. 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.
ROG SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II 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.
