TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi Intel Motherboard

This ATX board uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It delivers 16+1 DrMOS power stages, ProCool sockets and military-grade TUF components for stable operation. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256 GB of memory with XMP and OptiMem II.

Gamers and Builders Wanting PCIe 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6E

The single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and four M.2 slots suit high-speed GPUs and storage. Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5 Gb LAN cover modern networking. Builders needing Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 headers will find them here. Systems requiring more than four SATA ports or legacy PCI slots should look elsewhere.

DDR5 Memory Support Up to 7200 MT/s Overclocked

The board validates DDR5 speeds from 4800 to 7200 MT/s when overclocked, depending on the CPU and module configuration. This range decides whether your planned memory kit will run at its rated frequency.
