ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI s1700 Z790 4xDDR5 M.2 HDMI DP Wi-Fi BT ATX

Four onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.

ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE

Every aspect of the Strix Z790-H is intelligently optimized so the processor, memory, and connected devices can run in lockstep in order to achieve breakneck speeds.

AI OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

PCIE 5.0

The Strix Z790-H adds PCIe 5.0 support to its arsenal with an x16 expansion slot that’s protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards.
Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of high-performance SSDs.

POWER ARCHITECTURE

16 + 1 power stages each rated to 80A deliver ample current to drive the most powerful Intel 13th Gen processors through any workload with ease.

ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS

High-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.

PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTORS

ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.

SIX-LAYER PCB

A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

DDR5 DOMINATION

ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-H, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.

AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution to overclock generic memory modules. AEMP’s second version allows for automatic tuning of kits during system startup and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the Strix Z790-H to push frequencies higher than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the vast library of support now extends to nearly every DDR5 module that does not otherwise have XMP support.

VRM HEATSINK ARRAY

A robust cooling array leverages two heatsinks connected with a heatpipe, along with airflow channels cut into the aluminum. These features synergize to efficiently dissipate heavy thermal loads with ease.

M.2 COMBO-SINK

An M.2 heatsink with a direct-contact heat pipe efficiently transfers thermal energy away from a mounted drive and into the path of chassis airflow, ensuring optimal operating temperatures.

M.2 BACKPLATE

An integrated backplate on the mid-board M.2 slot helps ensure that a high-performance PCIe 4.0 drive can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.

M.2 HEATSINKS

Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

CPU FAN HEADERS

Positioned near the top of the motherboard, a pair of PWM/DC fan headers give easy access for CPU coolers.

AIO PUMP FAN HEADER

A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.

4-PIN FAN HEADERS

The Strix Z790-H features five chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

LEADING CONNECTIVITY

Lightning-fast networking keeps the Strix Z790-H in sync with the outside world for uninterrupted gaming and creation. Furthering immersion is SupremeFX audio, which delivers crystal clear sound.

WIFI 6E

Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.

Intel 2.5G Ethernet

Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

USB 3.2 GEN 2X2

The Strix Z790-H comes loaded with two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps.

SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z790-H implementation features the S1220A codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/192 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

PLAY IN STYLE

Black PCB and heatsinks compliment most hardware, and customizable RGB lighting furthers the flexibility. Pair the Strix Z790-H with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem to create a fully customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

Diagonal slats, brushed aluminum, and bold RGB accents have become hallmarks of the ROG aesthetic, and the Strix Z790-H bears all of them with pride.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.

COOLER COMPATIBILITY

The ROG Strix Z790-H bears the same LGA 1700 socket as Z690 models, so it is backward compatible with all coolers that supported the previous generation, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
