Description

ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI II

The ROG Strix Z790-F II strikes from the shadows with a flurry of advanced power and features to elevate the latest Intel® processors, graphics cards, storage and wireless networking to the next level. Armed with enhanced DDR5 support, ample cooling, PCIe 5.0 and WiFi 7, this high-performance ninja is ready for the toughest of missions.


ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE

PCIE 5.0

The top PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot is well-equipped for the increased size and bandwidth of next-gen graphics cards. Zippy storage options abound with four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, all featuring robust heatsinks to maximize performance.​


AI OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.


POWER ARCHITECTURE

The VRM features 16+1+2 power stages, each rated to handle up to 90 amps

SIX-LAYER PCB

A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.


DDR5 DOMINATION

ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-F II, 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..


DIMM FLEX

DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock their DDR5 memory modules. It employs specialized circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings. When temperatures are nominal, it can use the extra headroom to increase speeds and efficiency. And when temperatures increase, it can adjust memory behavior downward to maintain stability.


AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature that allows users to achieve supreme memory performance and compatibility with optimized clock speeds, even when they're using PMIC-restricted memory modules that do not provide an XMP or EXPO profile. Developed through a flexible training method, AEMP II simplifies the process of fine-tuning memory settings beyond the baseline configuration, all while ensuring system stability. This applies whether you are maximizing the potential of an entry-level module or preparing a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.

VRM HEATSINK ARRAY

Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 14th Gen processors.


AIO PUMP FAN HEADER

A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.


M.2 BACKPLATE

An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.


M.2 HEATSINKS

Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.


4-PIN FAN HEADERS

The Strix Z790-F II features four chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.​

LEADING CONNECTIVITY

The ROG Strix Z790-F II delivers next-gen connectivity for ultrafast data transfers and low-latency networking. Those perks are joined by an advanced audio solution that allows you to pick out the smallest cues and home in on your opponents.


WIFI 7

With Multi-Link Operation (MLO)*, WiFi 7** can outperform WiFi 6E to deliver faster speeds, higher reliability and increased data transfer efficiency.


Intel 2.5G Ethernet

Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.


USB 20GBPS

The Strix Z790-F II comes loaded with two USB 20Gbps Type-C® connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O; the other can be attached to the chassis front panel and it also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30W.

SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z790-F II implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.


PLAY IN STYLE

Brooding aesthetics and Aura Sync RGB controls allow the ROG Strix Z790-F II to effortlessly flex between blending in and showing off.


UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

When the lights are out, the ROG Strix Z790-F II blends into the shadows with its dark pcb and black metal heatinks. Activate the customizable RGB logo on the shroud, and the board makes a bold statment. Transparent layers and subtle brand-centric details add aesthetic depth and texture. Pair the Strix Z790-F II with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem to create a fully-customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.


OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
