Combo Platform

The package pairs an ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI S motherboard with an Intel Ultra 5 245K processor and a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. It targets builders who want a ready-matched CPU and board for gaming or content creation. The board uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket. The CPU is a 3 nm Arrow Lake part with a 125 W base power rating.

Build Integration

The ATX board supplies four DDR5 slots supporting up to 192 GB in dual-channel mode with XMP, DIMM Flex, OptiMem II and AEMP II. One PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot running at x4 handle graphics and high-speed add-in cards. Five M.2 slots and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports cover storage expansion. Rear I/O includes USB 20 Gbps, USB 10 Gbps, USB 5 Gbps and USB 2.0 ports plus DisplayPort, HDMI, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4.

Capacity Headroom

The 16+1+2 phase 70 A DrMOS VRM is rated to handle an i9-14900K, giving ample headroom for the included Ultra 5 245K and most overclocking scenarios. DDR5 memory can be pushed beyond 8000 MT/s when modules and cooling allow. The bundled thermal grease offers 6.2 W/m·k conductivity and 0.07 °C·cm²/W resistance for efficient heat transfer. AI Cooling II automates fan curves, while VRM and M.2 heatsinks manage sustained loads.

Questions about this item

What power phase count does the board use for the CPU Vcore and will it throttle at 125 W sustained load?

The motherboard provides 16+1+2 phases of 70 A DrMOS power delivery, rated to handle an i9-14900K overclock, so the 125 W Ultra 5 245K runs well within its thermal headroom.

How loud and hot does the VRM get when all cores run at 100 % for hours?

Dual VRM heatsinks with heat pipes and AI Cooling II auto-tuning keep temperatures low; fan curves stay quiet because the 70 A phases run cool even at the CPU 125 W base power.

Which cooler mounting hardware and memory kit must I already own to install this combo?

The LGA 1700 socket reuses existing LGA 1700 coolers, and you need DDR5 DIMMs — 288-pin modules up to 192 GB total across four slots.
