ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE
Every aspect of the Strix Z790-H is intelligently optimized so the processor, memory, and connected devices can run in lockstep in order to achieve breakneck speeds.
OVERCLOCKING
PCIE® 5.0
The Strix Z790-H adds PCIe® 5.0 support to its arsenal with an x16 expansion slot that’s protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards.Four PCIe® 4.0 M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of high-performance SSDs.
POWER DESIGN
MEMORY
DDR5 DOMINATION
ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-H, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.AEMP II
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution to overclock generic memory modules. AEMP’s second version allows for automatic tuning of kits during system startup and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the Strix Z790-H to push frequencies higher than ever before. AEMP II can even overclock mixed kits in a quad-DIMM arrangement, and the vast library of support now extends to nearly every DDR5 module that does not otherwise have XMP support.COOLING
VRM
- VRM HEATSINK ARRAY
A robust cooling array leverages two heatsinks connected with a heatpipe, along with airflow channels cut into the aluminum. These features synergize to efficiently dissipate heavy thermal loads with ease.
M.2
- M.2 COMBO-SINK
An M.2 heatsink with a direct-contact heat pipe efficiently transfers thermal energy away from a mounted drive and into the path of chassis airflow, ensuring optimal operating temperatures.
-
M.2 BACKPLATE
An integrated backplate on the mid-board M.2 slot helps ensure that a high-performance PCIe 4.0 drive can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
-
M.2 HEATSINKS
Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
