LGA 1700 Intel Z790 ATX motherboard

The ASUS Z790-AYW WIFI W is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z790 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It supports 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core CPUs with a 12+1 DrMOS power design. The board provides DDR5 memory slots, PCIe 4.0 expansion and integrated WIFI 6 plus 2.5Gb LAN.

Builders needing three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots

This board suits builders who want three M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 wiring, rear USB 10Gbps Type-C and a Thunderbolt (USB4) header for add-in cards. It also fits users who value 7.1 audio shielding and AI Cooling II fan control. Users requiring PCIe 5.0 graphics or storage support should consider a different chipset platform.

DDR5 memory support up to 192GB capacity

Four 288-pin DDR5 slots accept up to 192GB of non-ECC unbuffered memory. The board validates speeds from 4800 up to 8000+(OC) with ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II and OptiMem II layout. This capacity ceiling determines whether the platform fits heavy multitasking or content creation workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the Z790-AYW WIFI W fit in a standard ATX case?

Yes, the board follows the ATX form factor and uses standard mounting holes, so any ATX-compatible chassis will accept it.

What is the most common installation mistake with the 12+1 DrMOS power phase layout?

Builders often forget to connect both the 24-pin ATX and the 8-pin ProCool CPU power cables, leaving the VRM phases without power.

Which M.2 slots on the Z790-AYW WIFI W support 22110-length drives?

M.2_1 and M.2_3 both accept 22110 modules, while M.2_2 is limited to 2280.
