Search function
Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need.

ASUS user profile
Transfer configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends.

EZ mode
Quick and easy setup
EZ Mode displays important settings and statistics, and also offers wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and the ability to adjust important settings with one click - so you can set up your system in no time.

Intuitive graphical fan control
Fine-tuning individual fan settings is done simply by dragging a curve with the mouse.

Aura on/off mode (stealth)
Enable or disable the Aura RGB lighting or any individual LED on board to enhance the aesthetics.

COOLING
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is equipped with multiple onboard heatsinks and a set of hybrid fan headers to ensure your system stays cool and stable even under intensive workloads.

heat sink

M.2 heatsink
An M.2 heatsink takes care of the two M.2 slots and prevents throttling, which can occur with M.2 SSDs during longer data transfers.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads
The large surface area of the massive heatsinks covers the VRMs and inductors to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially designed thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and inductors for better cooling performance.

Cooler by design
The PRIME Z790-P features comprehensive cooling controls that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 4 software or the UEFI BIOS.

PERFORMANCE
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is designed for the high core count and bandwidth requirements of 13th Generation Intel® Core™ processors. The ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the essentials to boost daily productivity. Your system is ready for action with stable performance, intuitive cooling, and flexible data transfer options.

Robust power design
A stable power supply is essential to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P is designed to meet the demands of these high-core CPUs.

drives
Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbit/s)
The PRIME Z790-P offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling faster boot and loading times for operating systems and applications.

LANGuard
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level network protection feature that integrates advanced signal coupling technology and high-quality surface-mounted anti-EMI capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable connection.

INDIVIDUALIZATION
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard adds the fine details that enhance every experience, from exclusive codecs that deliver pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a unique personal look.

Excellent audio
Combined onboard features deliver first-class sound

Audio shielding
It can drive high impedance headphones without dropping high or low frequencies.

Dedicated audio PCB layers
Separate layers for the left and right tracks ensure that both channels deliver the same quality.

Premium audio capacitors
Delivers warm, natural, and realistic sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Aura Sync
Outshine the Competition
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers complete RGB lighting control with a variety of presets for the integrated RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers—all synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-enabled hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 RGB connector
Three addressable Gen 2 RGB headers can detect the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing software to automatically match lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers are also backward compatible with existing Aura RGB devices.

Armoury Crate
Within a single, intuitive interface, the Armoury Crate offers easily customizable Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, as well as controls for an ever-growing family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse settings. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news feed so you don“t miss any updates of interest to the ASUS community.

Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core indicator produces light patterns during the power-on self-test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot problems.

SafeSlot Core+
PCIe® 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe® 4.0. That“s why we“ve adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot Core+ to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot Core+ is a reinforced metal shroud that“s added to a PCIe slot to securely mount a card.
