The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

BIOS FLASHBACK

BIOS FlashBack is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

Q-LED

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.

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.
