ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A Gaming WiFi D4 LGA 1700 ATX Intel motherboard

SKU CH-EM7Q-W4T5E

Supports 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors with 16+1 70A power stages, four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with heatsinks, WiFi 6E, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C with 30W PD.

  • CPU Socket TypeLGA 1700
  • CPU TypeIntel Core 13th Gen (LGA 1700)
  • Ready for 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • 16+1 power stages rated at 70A with dual ProCool II connectors for multi-core stability
  • Massive VRM heatsinks with integrated I/O cover and high-conductivity thermal pads for optimised thermals
  • Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with heatsinks, one including a backplate, for ample high-speed storage
  • WiFi 6E and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with ASUS LAN Guard for high-performance networking

Socket & Processor Support

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket and is ready for 13th Gen Intel Core processors as well as 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The 16+1 power solution rated for 70A per stage with dual ProCool II connectors delivers stable current for multi-core workloads. Massive heatsinks with integrated I/O cover and high-conductivity thermal pads keep the VRM temperatures under control during sustained loads.

M.2 Layout & Front-Panel Power

One PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot includes a dedicated heatsink and backplate, while three additional PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots each have their own heatsinks for consistent SSD performance. The front-panel USB connector supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 up to 30W, allowing fast charging of connected devices directly from the case. Rear I/O adds a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port alongside USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports for flexible peripheral connections.

Display & Network Interfaces

Video output is provided through HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, supporting modern monitors without a discrete graphics card. Networking combines on-board WiFi 6E (802.11 ax) with Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet and ASUS LAN Guard for wired reliability. Builders who need more than four M.2 slots or require PCIe 5.0 storage support will find the expansion limited to the single PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot.

Questions about this item

How long do the VRM heatsinks and alloy chokes on the ROG STRIX Z790-A Gaming WiFi D4 typically last before they need attention?

The board uses massive heatsinks with integrated I/O cover and high-conductivity thermal pads plus durable capacitors and alloy chokes rated for 70A per stage. Under normal use these components are designed for the life of the motherboard; no scheduled replacement is expected.

What thermal limit appears first when all 16+1 power stages run at 70A each during extended loads?

The VRM heatsink array and integrated I/O cover with high-conductivity thermal pads are the primary cooling path. If airflow is restricted, VRM temperature will hit its throttle point before the CPU or M.2 slots reach their limits.

How loud do the chipset and VRM fans get when the board runs WiFi 6E, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and multiple M.2 drives all day?

The ROG STRIX Z790-A Gaming WiFi D4 has no chipset fan and no dedicated VRM fans; it relies on passive massive heatsinks. System noise therefore depends only on the CPU and case fans you install.
