ASUS PRIME Z790-V AX Intel motherboard

SKU CH-4DYF-NXD36

ATX board for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs with DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6, Thunderbolt and 14+1 power stages

  • Supports 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors with LGA 1700 socket
  • 14+1 DrMOS power stages rated at 50A and 60A for stable delivery
  • Large VRM heatsinks with thermal pads accelerate heat dissipation from MOSFET and inductor areas
  • ASUS OptiMem II trace layout enables higher DDR5 frequencies at lower voltages
  • PCIe 5.0, DDR5, WiFi 6 and Thunderbolt connectivity for ultrafast data transfer

Ready for Intel 14th, 13th & 12th Gen

The ASUS PRIME Z790-V AX uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket and Z790 chipset. It supports 14th, 13th and 12th Generation Intel Core processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. Four DIMM slots accept up to 192GB of DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode with XMP support. The board provides PCIe 5.0, three M.2 slots, HDMI output, WiFi 6, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and a Thunderbolt header.

Enhanced 14+1+1 power delivery

A 14(50A)+1(60A)+1 DrMOS power stage array, ProCool connector, alloy chokes and durable capacitors replace simpler VRM designs. This jump is worthwhile when pushing high-core-count CPUs or running sustained all-core workloads that stress lesser power phases. Large VRM heatsinks with high-efficiency thermal pads improve heat dissipation from the MOSFET and inductor areas. ASUS OptiMem II trace layout helps memory kits reach higher frequencies at lower voltages.

Check BIOS version and CPU cooler clearance

A BIOS update may be required for some 14th Generation Intel Core processors; verify the support list on the ASUS website before installation. Ensure your CPU cooler mounting pattern matches LGA 1700 and that its height fits your chassis. Confirm the power supply includes the required ProCool connector. Memory compatibility varies by processor and kit; consult the ASUS CPU/Memory Support List for validated DDR5 modules.

Questions about this item

Does the ATX form factor of the PRIME Z790-V AX fit a standard ATX case?

Yes, the board follows the ATX standard and mounts in any case designed for ATX motherboards.

What BIOS step is required before installing a 14th generation Intel Core processor?

A BIOS update may be needed; flash the latest version from the ASUS support site before installing the CPU.

How often should the VRM thermal pads be inspected or replaced?

The pads are durable and do not have a scheduled replacement interval; check them only if temperatures rise unexpectedly.
