ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI

Strike stealthily with the powerfully potent ROG Strix Z790-H. Thick black heatsinks keep VRM temperatures under wraps, allowing Intel® 13th Gen processors room for higher boosts. Four M.2 slots are similarly outfitted, and the top slot comes with a combo sink to sneak in extra cooling. PCIe 5.0 support lies in wait for next-gen graphics cards, and cutting-edge WiFi 6E and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 fully flesh out connectivity.

DIY FRIENDLY

PCIE® SLOT Q-RELEASE

A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

M.2 Q-LATCH

The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an SSD from an M.2 slot. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, eliminating the need for a traditional screw.

CLEAR CMOS BUTTON

The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

Q-LED​

Four onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.

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.​

PCIE 5.0

The Strix Z790-H adds PCIe 5.0 support to its arsenal with an x16 expansion slot that's protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards.​ Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of high-performance SSDs.​

Power Design

1. POWER ARCHITECTURE

16 + 1 power stages each rated to 80A deliver ample current to drive the most powerful Intel 13th Gen processors through any workload with ease.

2. ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS

High-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.​

3. PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTORS​

ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.​

4. SIX-LAYER PCB​

A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.​

MEMORY

DDR5 DOMINATION

ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-H, 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.​

AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution to overclock generic memory modules. AEMP's second version allows for automatic tuning of kits during system startup and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the Strix Z790-H to push frequencies higher than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the vast library of support now extends to nearly every DDR5 module that does not otherwise have XMP support.

COOLING

1. VRM HEATSINK ARRAY

A robust cooling array leverages two heatsinks connected with a heatpipe, along with airflow channels cut into the aluminum. These features synergize to efficiently dissipate heavy thermal loads with ease.​

2. M.2 COMBO-SINK

An M.2 heatsink with a direct-contact heat pipe efficiently transfers thermal energy away from a mounted drive and into the path of chassis airflow, ensuring optimal operating temperatures.​

3. M.2 BACKPLATE

An integrated backplate on the mid-board M.2 slot helps ensure that a high-performance PCIe 4.0 drive can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.​

4. M.2 HEATSINKS

Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

NETWORKING

1. 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.

2. Intel 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 3.2 GEN 2X2​

The Strix Z790-H comes loaded with two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps.​

SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z790-H implementation features the S1220A codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/192 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.​
