The ASUS Z790-AYW WIFI W II is a high-performance, aesthetically striking ATX motherboard featuring a clean, white-themed design. Tailored for the LGA1700 socket, it provides a solid foundation for Intel 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Core processors. Built on the flagship Intel Z790 chipset, this motherboard seamlessly blends robust power delivery, advanced thermal management, and modern connectivity for creators, gamers, and PC enthusiasts building clean, modern setups.
Robust Power Delivery: Built with a continuous 12+1+1 power stage system rated at 60A per stage. Combined with DrMOS, high-quality alloy chokes, and durable capacitors, it ensures clean, highly stable voltage tracking to the CPU during intensive rendering or multitasking.
Next-Gen DDR5 Overclocking: Across 4 DIMM slots, it handles up to 192GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM. Utilizing ASUS OptiMem II and AEMP II, memory signal routing is drastically enhanced, allowing enthusiast memory kits to reach blistering speeds of 8000+ MT/s (OC).
PCIe 5.0 GPU Readiness: Features a primary reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot, doubling data transfer bandwidth over older generations to protect and maximize the performance of massive modern graphics cards.
Triple NVMe Storage: Equipped with three onboard M.2 slots supporting high-speed PCIe 4.0 x4 modes. Every storage slot is covered by a dedicated silver aluminum heatsink to prevent thermal throttling during continuous data transfers.
The board features a comprehensive cooling network including massive VRM heatsinks and hybrid fan headers managed by AI Cooling II. For high-speed networking, it packs low-latency Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi 6 with an external moving antenna. The rear I/O is highly practical, containing a high-speed USB 10Gbps Type-C port, a BIOS FlashBack button for risk-free system upgrades, Aura Sync ARGB headers, and Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound audio for crisp, clear media immersion.
