ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E Intel motherboard

SKU CH-9HCP-9WMHD

An ATX motherboard for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors with DDR5 memory, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and PCIe 5.0 expansion

  • ProcessorIntel Core 13th Gen (LGA 1700)
  • Ready for 12th & 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs on LGA 1700 socket
  • 18+1 90A power stages with ProCool II connector for stable multi-core performance
  • AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, AI Networking and AI noise cancellation built in
  • WiFi 6E plus Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with LANGuard for low-latency gaming
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C rear port with 30 W PD 3.0 and eleven additional USB 3.2 ports

Ready for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket to support 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors. It provides a foundation for high-performance desktop builds aimed at gaming and content creation. The board delivers PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 support out of the box.

Eighteen plus one 90A power stages

An 18+1 power stage design rated at 90A each supplies stable current to multi-core CPUs. Five M.2 slots free up drive bays and reduce cable clutter for compact storage layouts. Four 288-pin DDR5 slots accept up to 128GB of memory in dual-channel mode. A PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot handles modern graphics cards.

AI cooling and VRM heatsink manage sustained load

AI Cooling II and Fan Xpert 4 adjust fan curves in real time based on system temperatures. A VRM heatsink, a fanless PCH heatsink and double-sided M.2 heatsinks dissipate heat during extended sessions. WiFi 6E, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.2 maintain reliable connectivity when the system is under continuous pressure.

Questions about this item

What thermal limit will the 18+1 90A power stages hit first during sustained heavy loads?

The 18+1 90A power stages are cooled by a VRM heatsink and Fan Xpert 4 controlled headers to manage heat under continuous multi-core workloads.

How loud and hot does the PCH fanless heatsink and VRM cooling get when the board runs all day?

The fanless PCH heatsink and VRM heatsink with hybrid fan headers operate silently, while Fan Xpert 4 adjusts airflow to keep temperatures controlled during extended use.

Which DDR5 memory kit speeds are validated for the four 288-pin slots to reach 7200 OC?

The board supports DDR5 up to 7200 (OC) across four 288-pin slots, with OptiMem II and XMP support; validated kits are listed on the ASUS memory QVL.
