Model TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D5

CPU +Ultra 5 245K

  • Ready for 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core on LGA 1700 socket
  • 16+1 DrMOS power stages with ProCool sockets and military-grade TUF components
  • Four M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 support for fast storage expansion
  • Wi-Fi 6E and Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet with TUF LANGuard for reliable networking
  • Up to 192 GB DDR5 at 7200 MT/s overclocked via four 288-pin slots

Combo Overview

The ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D5 motherboard is paired with an Intel Ultra 5 245K processor and Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. The board uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket ready for 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It supports DDR5 memory up to 192 GB across four 288-pin slots and includes PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 expansion slots.

Suitability

This combo suits builders who want a pre-matched CPU and motherboard with Wi-Fi 6E, Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet and four M.2 slots for PCIe 4.0 storage. It also provides 7.1 surround audio via the Realtek S1220A codec, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports. Users needing a different socket, a chipset other than Z790, or a processor without integrated graphics should look at other options.

Deciding Spec

The CPU is a 3 nm Arrow Lake part with a 125 W base power, 24 MB L3 cache and 26 MB L2 cache, and it includes Intel Graphics so no discrete GPU is required for display output. A BIOS update may be needed for some 14th generation processors. The motherboard delivers a 16+1 DrMOS power design with ProCool sockets and military-grade TUF components.
