Intel LGA 1700 DDR5 motherboard

The ASUS PRIME Z790-P is an ATX board built around the Intel Z790 chipset for 12th and 13th generation Core processors. It delivers 14 plus one plus one DrMOS power stages rated at 50 and 60 amps, fed by ProCool 8+4-pin connectors on a six-layer PCB. Four DIMM slots support DDR5 memory up to 7200 MT/s via AEMP II and OptiMem II. The platform suits builders who want PCIe 5.0 graphics bandwidth and high-speed storage in a standard form factor.

Check CPU cooler clearance and power cables

Verify that your chosen cooler fits the LGA 1700 socket keep-out zone and does not block the four DIMM slots or the primary PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot Core+. Ensure your power supply provides both an 8-pin and a 4-pin EPS connector for the ProCool headers. Confirm the chassis has a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header if you plan to use the onboard Thunderbolt USB4 header. Builders who need more than three M.2 slots or a second full-size PCIe 5.0 slot should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power draw

The shared M.2 heatsink covers two 22110 slots and the Key E slot, helping SSD temperatures stay controlled under load. Hybrid fan headers with AI Cooling 2.0 adjust speeds based on system thermals, reducing acoustic output during light workloads. The 16-phase power design with 50A and 60A stages runs efficiently at stock settings, while the six-layer PCB aids heat dissipation. Realtek 2.5 Gb LAN and rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C at 20 Gbps add connectivity without significant thermal load.

Questions about this item

Does the PRIME Z790-P box include the Wi-Fi module for the Key E M.2 slot, or must it be purchased separately?

The board provides one vertical Key E M.2 slot for a CNVi Wi-Fi module; the module itself is not included and must be bought separately.

Which DDR5 speed should I target for the four DIMM slots to reach the rated DDR5-7200+(OC) figure?

The board validates DDR5-7200+(OC) via AEMP II and OptiMem II; pick a kit on the QVL rated at or above 7200 MT/s for best stability.

What does the 20Gbps rear USB-C port deliver once the board is installed in a system?

The rear USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port runs at 20 Gbps and supports Thunderbolt(USB4) via the on-board header when a compatible add-in card is fitted.
