Search Function
Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need.

ASUS User Profile
Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends.

EZ Mode
Quick and Simple Setup
EZ Mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings — all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.

Intuitive Graphical Fan Control
Fine-tune individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with the mouse.

Aura On/Off Mode (Stealth)
Enable or disable Aura RGB lighting or every onboard LED for a more modest aesthetic.

COOLING
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

Heatsinks

M.2 Heatsink
An M.2 heatsink takes care of the two M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 SSDs during sustained transfers.

VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads
The expansive surface 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.

Cooler by Design
PRIME Z790-P features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS.

PERFORMANCE
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. The ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity. Your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.

Robust Power Design
Stable power is essential to extract the last ounce of performance from Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

Storage
Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)
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, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

LANGuard
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level networking protection feature that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable connection.

CUSTOMIZATION
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard adds the nuanced details that enhance every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely personal look.

Outstanding Audio
Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio

Audio Shielding
It can drive high-impedance headphones with no drop in high or low frequencies.

Dedicated Audio PCB Layers
Separate layers for left and right tracks ensure both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.

Premium Audio Capacitors
Provides warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Aura Sync
Outshine the Competition
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header
Three Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers are capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

Armoury Crate
Within a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate provides easily customizable Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, plus controls for an ever-growing family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news feed so you don't miss any updates of interest to the ASUS community.

Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces light patterns by power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot potential problems.

SafeSlot Core+
PCIe® 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe® 4.0. That's why we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot Core+, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot Core+ is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to firmly install a card.
