ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-PRO WiFi 6E Intel motherboard

SKU CH-MZ4S-TTVZA

ATX Intel Z790 board with LGA 1700 socket supporting 12th, 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, DDR5 up to 192 GB, PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, WiFi 6E, 2.5 Gb LAN and USB 20 Gbps Type-C

  • ProcessorIntel Z790
  • Supports Intel Core 14th, 13th and 12th Gen processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • DDR5 memory support up to 192 GB for high-capacity workloads
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot with Q-Release for secure graphics card installation
  • Front panel USB 20Gbps Type-C with Power Delivery for fast charging
  • WiFi 6E and 2.5Gb Ethernet for low-latency network connectivity

Built for Intel Core 14th 13th 12th Gen

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and the LGA 1700 socket. It accepts Intel Core 14th 13th and 12th Gen processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron models. The board supports DDR5 memory up to 192 GB and includes AI Overclocking for automated tuning.

Sustained load behaviour

The PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot with Q-Release handles graphics cards at full bandwidth during long sessions. AEMP II optimises DDR5 timings for stability when the system runs hot. The 2.5Gb LAN and WiFi 6E keep network throughput steady while the VRM delivers power to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Max 3.0 clocks.

Thermals noise and power

Heavy armour and enlarged heatsinks cover the VRM and chipset to dissipate heat without loud fans. The front panel USB 20Gbps Type-C port supports power delivery for charging while the Thunderbolt 4 header adds high-speed expansion. Multiple fan headers let builders tune airflow for quiet operation.

Questions about this item

How much power does the board draw when the CPU runs all day?

Power draw depends on the installed Intel Core 12th, 13th or 14th Gen processor and its workload; the Z790 chipset itself adds only a small overhead.

Which components must I already own for this motherboard to work?

You need an LGA 1700 Intel Core 12th, 13th or 14th Gen CPU, DDR5 memory modules, an ATX power supply and a case that fits an ATX board.

Will my older PCIe 3.0 graphics card work in the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot?

Yes, the primary PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 cards and will run them at x16 speed.
