ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI Intel Z790 LGA 1700 ATX

Stealthily strike with the powerful ROG Strix Z790-H. Chunky black heatsinks keep VRM thermals in check, giving 13th Gen Intel® processors room for higher boosts. The four M.2 slots are similarly equipped, with the top slot sporting a Combo-sink for extra cooling. PCIe® 5.0 support awaits next-gen graphics cards, and connectivity is brought up to speed with Wi-Fi 6E and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.

ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE
Every aspect of the Strix Z790-H is intelligently optimized to allow the processor, memory, and connected devices to work in concert to achieve blistering speeds.

OVERCLOCKING

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 launchpad for further experimentation.

PCIE® 5.0
The Strix Z790-H expands its arsenal with PCIe® 5.0 support, featuring an x16 expansion slot that’s protected by a SafeSlot bracket to support the weight of the latest graphics cards.

Four PCIe® 4.0 M.2 slots are covered with massive heatsinks to dissipate heat from high-performance SSDs.

MEMORY

DDR5 DOMINANCE
ROG has a long heritage of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far past the 7 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-H, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Experienced veterans can flex their might by toying with the copious tuning options in the UEFI.

AEMP II
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution for overclocking generic memory modules. The second version of AEMP enables automatic tuning of kits during system boot and leverages the Strix Z790-H’s PCB trace optimizations to drive frequencies higher than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the extensive library of support now extends to nearly all DDR5 modules that don’t otherwise have XMP support.

COOLING

VRM HEATSINK ARRAY
Robust cooling begins with two heatsinks that are joined by a heatpipe, and airflow channels cut into the aluminum. These features work in tandem to efficiently and effectively extract heavy thermal loads.

M.2 COMBO-SINK
A direct-contact M.2 heatsink efficiently transfers thermal energy from the installed drive into the chassis’ airflow for optimal operating temperatures.

M.2 BACKPLATE
An integrated backplate on the board’s central M.2 slot ensures that a high-performance PCIe® 4.0 drive can deliver peak performance even with restricted airflow.

M.2 HEATSINKS
Heatsinks cover each slot to help keep onboard SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

CPU

CPU FAN HEADERS
Two PWM/DC fan headers are located at the top of the board for easy access to CPU coolers.

AIO PUMP FAN HEADER
A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.

CHASSIS

4-PIN FAN HEADERS
The Strix Z790-H features five chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
