Asus ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI Intel LGA1700 Motherboard - AI Overclocking - AI Cooling II
Asus ROG STRIX
GAMING WIFI Motherboard
Slash the 6GHz barrier in style with the Strix Z790-E.
Translucent shrouds outline its RGB ignition panel, alluding to its ability
to jump into lightspeed under the guidance of AI Overclocking and
a hyper-reactive VRM. DDR5 enhancements and an assortment of
PCIe 5.0 options ramp up velocity even further, and setup is a breeze
thanks to its unique Q-Design feature set.
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.
AI COOLING II
Balance 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 monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
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.
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.
