PCI-E 5.0
The Strix Z790-E is fully geared towards the new standard and offers PCIe 5.0 support throughout. The top x16 expansion slot is Gen 5 ready and is protected with a SafeSlot retaining bracket to support the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the integrated M.2 slots is designed for blazing read and write speeds of 16 GB/s thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface, while all other slots can still transfer an impressive 8 GB/s. Each M.2 slot is equipped with massive heatsinks to dissipate the heat of the next-gen drives.​

VRM HEATSINK ARRAY
The power solution consists of two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels that provide better heat dissipation while powering powerful 13th Generation Intel processors.

M.2 COMBO SINK
An M.2 heatsink with a direct heat pipe efficiently dissipates heat energy from the built-in drive into the case“s airflow, ensuring optimal operating temperatures.

M.2 BACKPLATE
An integrated backplate on the M.2 slot in the middle of the board ensures that a high-performance PCIe 5.0 drive can deliver peak performance even with restricted airflow.

M.2 HEATSINK
Heatsinks cover each slot to keep the onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.

DDR5 STRENGTH
ROG has a long history of delivering the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast kits on the Strix Z790-E were able to be pushed well past the 7 GT/s mark, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by trying out the extensive tuning options in the UEFI.​

RUMED II
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution for overclocking generic memory modules. The second version of AEMP enables automatic tuning of kits during system boot and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the Strix Z790-E to achieve higher frequencies than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the extensive library of support now extends to almost all DDR5 modules that otherwise do not have XMP support.

AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to determine the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. The predicted values ​​can be applied automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation.

WIFI6E
The integrated WiFi 6E technology uses the newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultra-fast throughput and better performance in dense WiFi environments. * Availability and feature set of WiFi 6E depends on regulatory requirements and coexistence with 5 GHz WiFi

Intel 2.5G Ethernet
Low-latency gaming, fast file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many benefits of integrated Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

SUPREMEFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that deliver superior audio. The Strix Z790-E implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback at up to 32-bit/384kHz on all channels. Front-panel output is via the integrated Savitech amplifier, which can power a wide range of speakers and headphones with high-fidelity acoustics.

USB 3.2 GEN 2X2
The Strix Z790-E features two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® ports for fast data transfers of up to 20 Gbps. One of these is a rear port, the other can be attached to the front of the chassis and also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology that can quickly charge devices at up to 30W.

UNDENIABLE ROG STRIX
Diagonal fins, brushed aluminum, and bold RGB have become hallmarks of the ROG aesthetic, and the Strix Z790-E wears all of these features with pride. On this generation, the port cover and Q-release array feature clear diffusers that gently contrast with the metallic heatsinks nearby.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION
ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, which enables complete lighting control and a variety of presets for onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. The effects can be easily synced with compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.

COOLER COMPATIBILITY
The ROG Strix Z790-E features the same LGA 1700 socket as the Z690 models, making it backwards compatible with all coolers that supported the previous generation, including all AIO models from ASUS and ROG.
