INTELLIGENT CONTROL

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. Expected values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

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 adjust fans to optimal speeds dynamically.

All-Around Energy Efficiency

The Power Saving function contains several settings that optimise power consumption and maximise 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 built into Microsoft Windows.

UEFI BIOS - Advanced Mode

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.

UEFI BIOS - Quick and Simple Setup

EZ mode displays vital settings and stats, offering guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and a one-click application of important settings — all to help you get your rig up and running quickly.

Armoury Crate

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

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 storage, the TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI is the perfect foundation for your next Intel battle rig.

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.

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 optimised clock speeds, even when 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 maximising 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 optimise 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 optimised memory performance even when all four memory modules are not precisely matched, provided all four DIMMs have the same capacity.

* Results may vary according to the capabilities of your CPU and memory modules.?
** The testing chart is based on a test with an Intel i9-13900K processor and 4x16 GB SK Hynix DDR5-5600 non-ECC UDIMMs, model HMCG78AGBUA081N?

PCIe 4.0 Support

The four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 devices and provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance potential. Create a RAID configuration with up to four PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the fastest data transfer speeds.

*Actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed. 

 

Cooler By Design

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

Connectivity

The TUF-GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI reaches new heights of performance potential with the latest version of PCI Express. At the same time, an arsenal of USB ports includes three Type-C connections, and Thunderbolt 4 expands compatibility and bandwidth even further. In addition to breakneck data transfers, connected devices can top-up quickly, with support for up to 30 watts of charging.

Easy PC DIY

The TUF GAMING line offers an easy setup for all builders. The TUF GAMING Alliance ecosystem grants compatibility, while Armoury Crate has Fan Xpert 4, hardware info, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, RGB options and peripheral settings. This platform has intuitive tools to build and optimise dream rigs.

Build With Confidence

TUF GAMING Alliance collaborated with ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure compatibility across various parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, and memory kits. With new partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF GAMING Alliance will grow even more vital.

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM

SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Because PCIe 5.0 is two times faster than PCIe 4.0, ASUS enhanced SMT manufacturing processes for the faster SafeSlot?all to ensure users get the highest possible data speeds. In addition, the ASUS SafeDIMM sheath is added to support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering you to insert modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.

PCIe Q-Release

A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when upgrading to a new GPU or other compatible device.

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 personalise your gaming atmosphere.

ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna

Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.

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.

*An audio splitter (3.5 mm audio jack Y-cable) is necessary when using a 3.5 mm headset.

Realtek 7.1 Channel Audio - S1220A Codec

The TUF GAMING Z790 series utilises an audio codec designed closely with Realtek — the Realtek S1220A. 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.

Outshine The Competition

A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. The TUF GAMING Z790 series features edge lighting to enhance its rugged look, and ASUS Aura offers complete RGB control with presets for built-in LEDs and third-party strips. It can all sync with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-compatible hardware.
