ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI LGA1700 ATX Motherboard – DDR5 7200+ (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, Wi-Fi 6 + BT 5.2, 2.5GbE LAN, 3x M.2 PCIe 4.0, USB-C 20Gbps | 90MB1CJ0-M1EAY0

Flexibility — Tune It Your Way

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The PRIME Z790-P WIFI packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system: AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click using a proprietary algorithm, the Power Saving function optimizes CPU power limits, Aura lighting and fan profiles, and the renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS offers intelligently simplified options for beginners plus advanced search functions and user profiles for seasoned tweakers.

Cooling

The motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads. Massive VRM heatsinks with thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes, an M.2 heatsink with removable captive screws takes care of two M.2 slots to ward off throttling during sustained transfers, and comprehensive Fan Xpert 4 controls via software or UEFI support multiple temperature sources, dual-pump headers and 4-pin PWM/DC fans.

Performance — Robust Power, DDR5 & PCIe 5.0

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance from Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P WIFI is geared to cater to the demands of high-core-count CPUs with 14+1 teamed power stages rated for 50 amps each, ProCool 4+8 pin connectors with solid pins, DIGI+ VRM control, and an eight-layer-grade design. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 192GB at 7200+ MHz (OC) with Intel XMP, OptiMem II and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) — an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted modules that trains your memory kit and optimizes clock speed, delivering up to 37.5% faster RAM speeds than baseline DDR5. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0 for next-generation graphics cards, with three PCIe 4.0 x4 slots and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for expansion.

Storage & Connectivity

Three M.2 slots support data-transfer speeds of up to 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0 — one CPU-direct supporting up to 22110, two chipset slots with one SATA-capable — alongside four SATA 6Gb/s ports with Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID 0/1/5/10. The rear panel is led by a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port pushing 20Gbps, with a Thunderbolt (USB4) header enabling further expansion. Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet provides high-speed wired networking, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with Bluetooth 5.2 covers dual-band wireless, and DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60Hz) plus HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz) handle displays.

Customization

Outstanding Realtek 7.1 audio features audio shielding for precision analog/digital separation, dedicated PCB layers for left and right tracks, and premium capacitors for warm, natural sound — with an S/PDIF header for expansion. ASUS 5X Protection III provides DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot Core+ and a stainless-steel back I/O, while Aura Sync with three addressable Gen 2 and two RGB headers offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets.
