Cooling Solutions

Flexible Air and Liquid Cooling Controls

ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers. Features include:

• Auto-Tuning Mode: Configures all parameters with a single click
• Extreme Quiet Mode: Reduces fan speeds to below default minimum for whisper-quiet operation during 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
• Automatic switching of frequency and power-efficiency settings
• Fine-tuning of CPU for ultimate stability and performance

Cooler by Design

PRIME Z790-P WIFI features comprehensive cooling controls, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or the UEFI BIOS.

Multiple Temperature Sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows mapping the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

Additional Cooling Features:

• AIO Pump Header: Dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups
• Smart Protection: Integrated circuit protects fan headers from overheating and overcurrent
• 4-pin PWM/DC Fan: Auto-detection of PWM or DC fans
• VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads: Massive heatsinks and engineered thermal pads improve heat transfer from MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

Performance

The PRIME Z790-P WIFI motherboard is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors. ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, ensuring stable power, intuitive cooling, and flexible data transfer options.

Robust Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P WIFI is geared to cater to the demands of high-core-count CPUs.

AEMP II for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. It offers:

• Optimized clock speeds to unleash performance
• Flexible training methods for tuning memory above baseline settings while maintaining system stability

ASUS OptiMem II

Revisions to the motherboard’s trace routing provide the latest Intel® processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology:

• Maps memory signal pathways across PCB layers
• Reduces vias and adds shielding zones to significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 Slots (Up to 64 Gbps)

The motherboard offers three M.2 slots supporting data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

PCIe® 5.0 Slot

PCIe 5.0 offers:

• Twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0
• Electrical changes to improve signal integrity
• Backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards
• Compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
