FLEXIBILITY

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The PRIME Z790-P motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.

Intelligent Control

ASUS Intelligent Control makes your PC smart. Along with taking care of complex tuning and dynamically optimizing essential aspects of your system, it offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

COOLING

PRIME Z790-P 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.

M.2 Heatsink

The flexible M.2 heatsink with removable captive screws can take care of the M.2_1 or M.2_3 slot, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.

VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads

The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

Cooler by Design

PRIME Z790-P features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Multiple Temperature Sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

AIO Pump Header

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

Smart Protection

A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.

4-Pin PWM/DC Fan

Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

PERFORMANCE

The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Intel® Processors. ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.

Robust Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel® processors. The PRIME Z790-P is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

ProCool Connectors

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

Outstanding Audio

Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio

Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Audio Shielding

Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.

Dedicated Audio PCB Layers

Separate layers for left and right tracks ensures both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.

Premium Audio Capacitors

Provides warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
