ASUS Z790-BTF WIFI Overview
Advanced builders and gaming enthusiasts who appreciate a cable-free system can get their next rig off on the right foot with the ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-BTF WIFI LGA1700 ATX Motherboard. Placing a majority of the main connectors on the rear of the motherboard enables users to manage their cables with exact precision, making installation swift and easy while giving your system a uniform white look.
Based off the Z790 chipset, the TUF includes an LGA 1700 socket which supports a wide range of Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors, allowing you to pick and choose the CPU that best fits your needs. Four DDR5 memory slots allow you to install up to 192GB of memory with a max operating speed of 7200 MHz when overclocked. You also get an array of storage options with four M.2 and four SATA interfaces. PCIe 5.0 x16, PCIe 4.0 x16, and PCIe 4.0 x4 slots allow you to expand upon your systems, supporting high-powered graphics and utility cards. Support resource-demanding devices such as displays, storage drives, and more with an array of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports, giving you up to 5 and 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds. A single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port offers up to 20 Gb/s data transfer speeds and can support resource-demanding devices with ease. You can also use wireless devices with Bluetooth 5.4 for a true wireless experience. Download your library of games, stream your favorite shows, and compete in online matches with wireless Wi-Fi 7 capabilities and wired 2.5 GbE LAN.
BTF Design
When combined with a BTF chassis, you can ensure your cables are hidden for a clean and tidy look. All major connectors are placed on the back of the board, allowing you to easily plug in your equipment. When paired with BTF-enabled graphics card, the Maximus can deliver up to 600 wats of power to your GPU.
DIY Design
Easily install your components with a variety of board-wide improvements with PCIe Q-Release and Q-Latch which support your graphics cards and storage drives. Q-Antenna makes it easy to plug-in your Wi-Fi antenna. Q-Code and Q-LED capabilities assist with troubleshooting. You also get reinforced RAM DIMMs and a PCIe slot, adding rigidity to your system alongside ESD guards, TUF LANGuard, and a stainless-steel back I/O panel.
Power Design
Sporting 16+1+1 power stages rated to handle up to 60 amperes, you get enhanced power delivery performance across the six-layer PCB design. 8+8-pin ProCool Power Connectors ensure full contact while reducing impedance to prevent hotspots. Additionally, you get a series of TUF chokes and capacitors to assist with electrical throughput while reducing temperature backed by a premium Digi+ VRM.
Performance
AI Overclocking capabilities optimize performance, enabling you to achieve new heights. Differential sensing simplifies overclocking for easy tuning and voltage tracking. Enhance multitasking capabilities with DDR5 memory tracing which enhances throughput backed by AEMP II.
Enhanced Cooling
High-quality enlarged VRM covers the MOSFETs and chokes, keeping the core electronic components safe even under high loads. M.2 heat sink, backplates, and chipset heat sink work together to dissipate heat away from your components. Multiple temperature sources and fan headers allow you to monitor your system while detecting thermal buildup.
AI Optimization
AI Cooling II, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, and AI Networking capabilities enhance throughput for your system with minimal tuning thanks to the AI Suite 3 and BIOS. Use Advanced or EZ Modes to adjust features to your liking.
Sound
Experience enhanced and immersive sound with Realtek 7.1 channel audio using the ALC1220P codec, providing you with deep and rich tones suitable for your games and media alike.
