UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system.

It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners and comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Armoury Crate

The ASUS-exclusive Armoury Crate software centralizes control of all supported gaming products.

A single intuitive interface lets you customize RGB lighting for all compatible devices and link them to Aura Sync for unified illumination

DrMOS Power Stages

16+1 power stages are each rated to handle 60 amperes, combining high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package to deliver power, efficiency and stable performance for all compatible Intel processors.

Six-Layer PCB Design

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom

Digi+ VRM

The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

PCIe 4.0 Support

The four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 devices and also provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance potential.

Create a RAID configuration with up to four PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the fastest data transfer speeds.

Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet

On-board 2.5 Gb Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch by improving bandwidth speeds by up to 2.5X.

Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this networking upgrade to reduce lag, experience smoother high-resolution video streams, and enjoy faster file transfers

DTS Audio Processing

DTS Audio Processing enhances gaming headset and speaker audio experiences by reducing distortion and by providing deeper bass, so games, movies and music sound better. It also allows you to customize audio settings

Realtek 7.1 Channel Audio

S1220A Codec

The TUF Gaming Z790 series utilizes an audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek , the Realtek S1220A.
