Z790-AYW WIFI W II
ASUS Z790 series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 14th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Z790-AYW WIFI W II provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.
FLEXIBILITY
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Z790 series. The Z790-AYW WIFI W II motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.
All-Around Energy Efficiency
The Power Saving function contains several settings can easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
Flexible Air- and Liquid-Cooling Controls
ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AIO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans, water pumps and AIO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Precise Digital Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.
AI Cooling ll
AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers
An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.
Quick and Simple Setup
EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings - all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.
M.2 Heatsinks
Three M.2 heatsinks cover three M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.
VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads
The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
Robust Power Design
Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The Z790-AYW WIFI W II is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.
ProCool Connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
12+1+1 Power Stages
12(60A)+1+1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into packages rated for up to 60 amperes each, delivering power, efficiency, stability and performance to latest Intel processors.
AEMP II for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP II is based on a CPU and memory module's ability to train the memory chips on your kit, and it presents an optimized clock speed that can effortlessly unleash performance.
Built through a flexible training method, AEMP II makes it easy to not only tune the memory above baseline settings but also maintain the stability of system operation, whether getting the most out of an entry-level module or priming a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.
ASUS OptiMem II
Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
Benefits of ASUS OptiMem II:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
Three M.2 Slots (up to 64 Gbps)
Z790-AYW WIFI W II offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
PCIe 5.0 slot
The latest processors introduce PCIe 5.0 support, doubling data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0, enhancing signal integrity, and providing backward-compatible CEM connectors and support for previous PCIe versions.
Rear & Front USB Type-C®
A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 10Gbps Type-C® connector and a rear USB 10Gbps Type-C® port, providing ultimate flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds.
Thunderbolt™ 4 (USB4® compliant)
Z790-AYW WIFI W II motherboard features USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header. With an ASUS add-on card*, Z790 motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution.
WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 1.2Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.
