Combo contents

This bundle pairs the TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D5 motherboard with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. The board uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket that supports 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. A BIOS update may be required for some 14th generation CPUs.

Who should buy

Builders who want a ready-to-go platform with DDR5 memory support up to 7200 MT/s overclocked, four M.2 slots, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E will find the core parts in one box. The 16+1 DrMOS power design and military-grade TUF components suit sustained heavy workloads. Anyone needing a cooler in the package or a different socket should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The motherboard provides four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 from the CPU and three PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset, all supporting 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors. This density of high-speed storage lanes is the key factor when choosing this board.
