ROG STRIX Z590-A GAMING WIFI II Motherboard

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-A GAMING WIFI II is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z590 chipset and LGA 1200 socket. It supports 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. A 14+2 teamed power stage design with ProCool II connectors delivers stable current for multi-core workloads. Onboard Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet provide high-speed networking.

Compatibility Checklist Before Ordering

Verify that your CPU is a 10th or 11th Gen Intel processor in the LGA 1200 package. Only 11th Gen CPUs enable PCIe 4.0 on the primary M.2 slot and the top PCIe x16 slot; with 10th Gen chips that M.2 slot is disabled and the x16 slot runs at PCIe 3.0. Memory must be DDR4 DIMMs up to 128 GB total across four 288-pin slots. The chassis must accept an ATX form factor and provide clearance for VRM heatsinks and three M.2 heatsinks.

Ideal Build Targets and Alternatives

This board suits builders who want AI Overclocking, AI Cooling, AI Networking and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation in a single package, plus USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. It also fits users needing 7.1-channel audio and Aura Sync RGB headers. Buyers running 10th Gen CPUs who do not need PCIe 4.0 storage or those planning a smaller form factor should consider a different model.

Questions about this item

Does the ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-A GAMING WIFI II ship with cables and an I/O shield, or must I buy them separately?

The board includes a pre-mounted I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 Q-Latch hardware and driver media. A CPU, DDR4 memory, graphics card and storage are purchased separately.

Should I choose an 11th Gen or 10th Gen Intel Core processor for this LGA 1200 board?

11th Gen Core processors unlock PCIe 4.0 on the primary M.2 slot and the top three x16 slots. 10th Gen CPUs run at PCIe 3.0 speeds and disable the primary M.2 slot.

What does the 14+2 power-stage design mean for an overclocked 11th Gen Core i9?

The 14+2 teamed stages with ProCool II connectors deliver stable current to multi-core 11th Gen CPUs, while the VRM heatsink and M.2 backplate keep thermals in check during heavy loads.
