Socket and chipset

This motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket paired with the Z790 chipset. It supports 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The board is ATX form factor and comes ready for Windows 11 out of the box. A BIOS update may be required for some 14th generation CPUs.

Power delivery and thermals

The 16+1 DrMOS power stage design works with ProCool sockets and Digi+ VRM control to supply stable current during long gaming or rendering sessions. Military-grade TUF components are chosen for durability under continuous load. Heatsinks on the VRM and M.2 slots help dissipate heat without relying on extreme airflow.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your case fits an ATX board and that the CPU cooler clears the VRM heatsink area. Confirm your DDR5 kit appears on the ASUS QVL for the speeds you intend to run. Ensure the power supply provides the 8-pin and 4-pin CPU connectors required by the ProCool headers. Check M.2 slot lengths against your SSD form factors before ordering.

Questions about this item

How hot does the 16+1 DrMOS power stage get when the board runs all day?

The 16+1 DrMOS design with ProCool sockets and military-grade TUF components is built for sustained loads, and Digi+ VRM regulates delivery efficiently.

Which DDR5 memory kit do I need to have on hand before this motherboard will post?

You need a DDR5 kit up to 192 GB across the four 288-pin slots; supported speeds range from 4800 to 7200(OC) depending on the CPU and memory configuration.

Will my existing PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD work in the M.2_2 or M.2_3 slots without an adapter?

Yes, the M.2_2 and M.2_3 slots accept 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives running at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the Z790 chipset.
