Socket LGA 1700 microATX motherboard

The ASUS PRIME Z790M-PLUS is a microATX board built around the Intel Z790 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It accepts 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. The board provides four DDR5 slots, three M.2 sockets and a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for modern graphics cards.

Builders who need compact DDR5 platform

This board suits builders who want a small-form-factor system with DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 graphics support. It is not intended for users requiring more than four SATA ports, more than three M.2 slots, or a full-size ATX layout with additional expansion slots.

256 GB maximum DDR5 capacity

The four 288-pin slots support up to 256 GB of non-ECC DDR5 memory running at speeds from 4800 up to 7200 MT/s when overclocked. This ceiling determines whether the board can meet your planned memory configuration.
