ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WIFI II ATX Gaming Motherboard

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II is an ATX motherboard that pairs the Intel Z790 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket, giving you a solid foundation for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. Its design targets builders who want a platform that can handle competitive gaming, demanding creative work, or a versatile home workstation.

Four DDR5 DIMM slots let you install up to 192 GB of memory, and the board can drive those modules at speeds reaching 8000 MT/s. This high ceiling is valuable when you are compiling large projects, working with 4K video timelines, or running modern games that benefit from fast system memory.

For storage, five M.2 slots keep load times short and file transfers quick. One of those slots supports PCIe 5.0 x4, ready for the fastest NVMe drives. Four SATA III ports remain available for larger capacity hard drives or archival SSDs, making it easy to balance speed with bulk storage.

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is built to house a current or next generation graphics card, while two additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (operating in x4 mode) can host capture cards, additional NVMe adapters, or other expansion hardware. This mix lets you tailor the rig to streaming, content creation, or multi-monitor productivity.

Connectivity is comprehensive. Integrated Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet provides low-latency wired networking, and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4 adds high-bandwidth wireless options. Twelve rear-panel USB ports, including 20 Gb/s USB-C, handle peripherals and external drives, and a front USB-C header supplies up to 30 W for fast-charging phones or portable devices.

Power delivery relies on an 18 + 1 + 2 topology rated at 110 A per stage, giving headroom for manual or AI-assisted overclocks. ASUS AI Overclocking and AI Cooling utilities simplify tuning so you can focus on your workload or game rather than voltage tables and fan curves.

SupremeFX 7.1 audio driven by the ALC4080 codec delivers clear, immersive sound for competitive play and media consumption. Builder-friendly touches such as the Q-Latch for tool-free M.2 installation, Q-Code diagnostic display, and BIOS FlashBack help streamline setup and troubleshooting, whether you are assembling your first PC or refining a seasoned battle station.
