FLEXIBILITY
Comprehensive controls are the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The PRIME Z790-P motherboard includes flexible tools for tweaking every aspect of your system, allowing you to fine-tune performance to perfectly suit your way of working and maximize productivity.
Smart control:
ASUS Intelligent Control makes your PC smart. Taking care of complex settings and dynamically optimizing essential system aspects, it offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY newcomers and more comprehensive features for veterans.
AI Cooling ll
AI Cooling II balances the temperature and sound of any rig with a single click. An ASUS-initiated algorithm reduces unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test. It then monitors CPU temperature and dynamically adjusts fans to the optimal speed.
UEFI BIOS
ASUS’s renowned UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as more comprehensive features for veterans.
Advanced settings for the most demanding
An intuitive advanced mode offered by the UEFI puts you in complete control. The built-in search function makes it easier to find options, while advanced features let you intelligently make adjustments to configure performance just the way you want it.
Quick and easy setup
EZ Mode displays vital settings and statistics, and offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings. All of which will help you get up and running in no time.
REFRIGERATION
The PRIME Z790-P motherboard is designed with multiple integrated heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable even under the heaviest and most demanding workloads.
M.2 Heatsink
An M.2 heatsink takes care of both M.2 slots, preventing the slowdowns that can occur with M.2 storage during constant transfers.
