Intelligent Control

ASUS Intelligent Control makes your PC smart. Along with taking care of complex tuning and dynamically optimizing essential aspects of your system, it offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

AI Cooling II

AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

M.2 heatsink

2 heatsink. The flexible M. 2 heatsink with removable captive screws can take care of the M. 2 1 or M. 2 3 slot, warding off throttling that can occur with M. 2 storage during sustained transfers.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads

The extensive surface area 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.

Robust power design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

AEMP II for ultimate DDR5 performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP II is based on a CPU and memory module's ability to train the memory chips on your kit, and it presents an optimized clock speed that can effortlessly unleash performance. Built through a flexible training method, AEMP II makes it easy to not only tune the memory above baseline settings but also maintain the stability of system operation, whether getting the most out of an entry-level module or priming a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.

ASUS OptiMem II

Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

2 slots. 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.

PCIe 5.0 slot

0 slot. PCIe 5. 0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4. 0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5. 0 also brings other benefits, 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 batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including the rear USB Type-C connectors with ultrafast USB 3. 2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 compliant)

PRIME Z790-P motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. With an ASUS add-on card, PRIME motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution.

Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet

5 Gb Ethernet. Realtek 2. 5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
