Combo package

This bundle pairs an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D5 motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 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 accepts 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. It delivers a 16+1 DrMOS power design with ProCool connectors and military-grade TUF components.

Target builder

The combination suits enthusiasts who want a ready-matched CPU and motherboard for high-refresh gaming or heavy multitasking without researching compatibility. Builders needing a smaller form factor, a different chipset feature set or a processor with a lower thermal design power should evaluate other options.

Deciding specification

The motherboard supports DDR5 memory up to 7200 MT/s overclocked across four slots with a maximum capacity of 192 GB in dual-channel mode. If your workload demands that memory bandwidth and capacity ceiling, this kit meets it; if your budget or use case fits lower speeds or smaller kits, a different board may be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

Will the board run DDR5-6000 memory without any manual overclocking?

Yes, DDR5-6000 is listed as a native JEDEC speed on this motherboard, so compatible kits will operate at that frequency automatically.

Does the Intel Ultra 9 285K processor include a cooling solution in this combo?

No, the processor does not come with a cooler; the bundle only adds a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease, so you must supply your own CPU cooler.

How many M.2 NVMe drives can be installed at once?

The board provides four M.2 slots, all supporting Key M modules in lengths 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110, allowing up to four NVMe SSDs simultaneously.
