ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF DDR5 WIFI ATX Motherboard - White

TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI

TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest Intel® processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. “BTF” means “Back To (the) Future” for a new era for all PC DIY gamers; the advanced BTF series not only hides all its connectors on the underside of the motherboard, but it also delivers up to 600 watts for BTF graphics cards through a graphics card high-power slot, for clean cable management and a minimalist build appearance.

Easy PC DIY

The TUF GAMING BTF lineup allows easy cable management and setup for builders of all levels. The ASUS BTF Alliance ecosystem confirms compatibility, while Armoury Crate displays hardware information and makes it easy to adjust Fan Xpert 4, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, RGB options and peripheral settings. This platform has intuitive tools to build and optimize dream rigs.

Optimized Cable Management

The hidden-connector design can be ideal for a first-time builder, because it allows easier cable management and also enhances a build’s appearance by presenting neat and clean internals.

Rock-Solid Performance

With upgraded power delivery and comprehensive cooling options to fuel the latest Intel CPUs, plus support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 4.0 storages, the TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI is the perfect foundation for your next Intel battle rig.

Power Design

Premium Power Delivery

16+1+1 power stages are each rated to handle up to 60 amperes,  combining high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package to deliver power, efficiency and stable performance for all compatible Intel processors.

Memory & Storage

Unleash DDR5 with AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature that allows users to achieve supreme memory performance and compatibility with optimized clock speeds, even when they're using PMIC-restricted memory modules that do not provide an XMP or EXPO profile. Developed through a flexible training method, AEMP II simplifies the process of fine-tuning memory settings beyond the baseline configuration, all while ensuring system stability. This applies whether you are maximizing the potential of an entry-level module or preparing a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.

Now, AEMP II offers even more flexibility. With the latest firmware update, AEMP II allows users to optimize the performance of a four-DIMM DDR5 RAM configuration, even with a mixture of different brands and dies. Increasing the memory capacity of your build by adding additional DIMMs has never been easier — with AEMP II, you can get optimized memory performance even when all four memory modules are not an exact match, provided that all four DIMMs have the same capacity.

Cooling

Cooler By Design

The TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI is armed with an enlarged VRM heatsink, while four M.2 slots and the PCH feature heatsinks that provide the perfect balance of mass and surface area for heat dissipation.

Connectivity

The TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI reaches new heights of performance potential with the latest version of PCI Express, while an arsenal of USB ports includes three Type-C® connections, and Thunderbolt 4 expands compatibility and bandwidth even further.

INTELLIGENT CONTROL

The TUF GAMING Z790 motherboards pack flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to expertly match the way you play.

AI Cooling II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. An ASUS-exclusive algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

POWER SAVING

All-Around Energy Efficiency

The Power Saving function contains several settings that can easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners and comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Armoury Crate

The ASUS-exclusive Armoury Crate software centralizes control of all supported gaming products. A single intuitive interface lets you customize RGB lighting for all compatible devices and link them to Aura Sync for unified illumination. It also displays information from, and enables control of, a growing hardware ecosystem. Armoury Crate also enables easy product registration and features a news section to keep you in touch with the gaming community.

Immersive Gaming

TUF GAMING Z790 motherboards provide a feature-packed high-performance gaming package, with ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay, pristine audio with positional cues for FPS Gaming, and onboard RGB lighting that syncs with attached gear to personalize your gaming atmosphere.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation

This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are muffled so you can hear and be heard with excellent clarity while gaming or during calls.

Audio

Realtek 7.1 Channel Audio

ALC1220P

This motherboard utilizes an audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek — the Realtek ALC1220P. It features an unprecedented 120 dB signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio for the stereo line out and a 113 dB SNR for the line in, providing pristine audio quality. Additionally, an impedance-sensing circuit automatically adjusts gain to ensure an optimal volume range for your headphones.
