Combo Contents

This package pairs the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. The board uses the LGA 1700 socket and is built around the Intel Z790 chipset. It targets builders who want a ready-to-assemble platform with current-generation connectivity.

Thermals and Power Delivery

The motherboard employs a 16+1+1 phase VRM using 60A DrMOS stages fed by dual ProCool 8+8-pin connectors and large heatsinks. The included processor has a 125W base rating and is fabricated on a 3nm process. The supplied grease offers 6.2 W/m.k conductivity and 0.07 °C·cm²/W resistance for efficient heat transfer between die and cooler.

Build and Connectivity Details

Back-panel connector placement on the motherboard reduces visible cabling when used with compatible BTF cases and graphics cards. Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots each carry a heatsink, while the primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot uses a reinforced SafeSlot. Networking includes WiFi7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet. Three Gen2 ARGB headers support Aura Sync lighting control.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI motherboard with its back-panel connectors, and what is the common mistake?

The board uses BTF back-panel connectors that require a compatible BTF case and GPU. The step people get wrong is mounting it in a standard case, which blocks the rear I/O and power connections.

What maintenance will the included Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease need later?

The manufacturer suggests replacing the paste every two years, though its official lifespan is three to five years. It has a thermal conductivity of 6.2 W/m.k and resistance of 0.07 °C*cm^2/W.

What limit appears first when the Intel Ultra 9 285K runs sustained workloads on this 16+1+1 phase VRM?

The processor has a 125 W base power. Under sustained loads the VRM heatsinks and 60 A DrMOS stages will hit thermal limits before the 8+8-pin ProCool connectors reach their current ceiling.
