ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI LGA1700 ATX Motherboard – DDR5 7200 (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, Wi-Fi 6E + BT 5.3, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, 4x M.2 PCIe 4.0, USB-C 20Gbps | 90MB1D80-M1EAY0

TUF Gaming — Built to Handle What Others Can’t

TUF GAMING motherboards are engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, going beyond expectations with rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. Every board undergoes rigorous endurance testing to ensure it can handle conditions where others may fail.

Power, Memory & PCIe 5.0

Dual 8-pin ProCool CPU power with DIGI+ VRM digital power design delivers stable power to 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128GB at 7200MHz (OC) with Intel XMP and OptiMem II trace layout for signal integrity. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with SafeSlot handles next-generation graphics cards, joined by a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, a PCIe 4.0 physical x16 slot (x4 mode) and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.

Storage — Four PCIe 4.0 M.2

Four M.2 slots — one CPU-direct supporting up to 22110 form factor and three chipset slots, one SATA-capable — deliver next-generation NVMe speeds with Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID 0/1/5/10 for both PCIe and SATA, alongside four SATA 6Gb/s ports. M.2 heatsinks keep drives cool under sustained loads.

Connectivity — 20Gbps USB-C, Wi-Fi 6E & 2.5GbE

The rear panel is led by a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port pushing 20Gbps, plus three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (two Type-A and one Type-C), four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet with TUF LANGuard delivers wired speeds 2.5X faster than standard Gigabit, while Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with Bluetooth 5.3 covers 2.4/5/6GHz wireless. Display outputs include DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60Hz) and HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz), and a Thunderbolt (USB4) header opens expansion options.

Cooling, Audio & TUF Protection

An enlarged VRM heatsink, M.2 heatsinks, AIO pump header and four chassis fan headers with Fan Xpert 4 and AI Cooling II keep temperatures in check. Realtek S1220A 7.1 HD audio with 120dB SNR stereo playback, premium capacitors, dedicated audio PCB layers, audio shielding and optical S/PDIF output delivers pristine sound, with DTS Audio Processing and Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation for clear comms. TUF Protection rounds out the package: ESD Guards, TUF LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot, and a stainless-steel back I/O panel.

EZ DIY

PCIe Slot Q-Release ejects the graphics card with a simple mechanism, M.2 Q-Latch installs SSDs tool-free, and the pre-mounted I/O shield safeguards ports and simplifies the build. Q-LED diagnostics and SafeDIMM memory protection make building effortless, while Armoury Crate with Aura Sync and AI Suite 3 with TurboV EVO provide complete software control.
