Socket and platform

This ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket and the Z790 chipset to support 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors. It is built for PC builders who want a stable foundation with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory capability out of the box.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 14+1 DrMOS power stages, ProCool connector, alloy chokes and durable capacitors deliver stable power delivery during extended workloads. Large VRM and M.2 heatsinks plus a PCH heatsink work with hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 to keep temperatures controlled over long sessions.

Memory ceiling

Four 288-pin DDR5 slots support up to 192 GB in dual-channel mode with speeds from 4800 up to 7200 MT/s when overclocked. OptiMem II trace layout helps kits run at higher frequencies with lower voltages, making this the deciding specification for high-capacity memory builds.

Questions about this item

How hot and noisy does the 14+1 DrMOS power stage and VRM heatsink run during all-day loads?

The 14+1 DrMOS stages, alloy chokes and large VRM heatsink are designed for stable delivery; hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 let you tune airflow for quiet operation.

Which DDR5 memory kits and CPU cooler mounting hardware must I already own to install this LGA 1700 board?

You need DDR5 DIMMs — up to 192 GB across four slots — and a cooler with LGA 1700 mounting holes or an adapter kit.

Will my PCIe 4.0 graphics card and SATA SSDs work in the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and four SATA 6Gb/s ports?

Yes, the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 cards, and the four SATA 6Gb/s ports accept standard SATA drives.
