Two thick heatsinks Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th Gen processors.
M.2 heatsinks and backplate An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted. Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability. 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.
CPU fan headers & AIO A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers. A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.
4-pin fan headers Features five chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Outshine the Competition
Personalize your gaming rig
The ROG Strix Z790-E bears the same LGA 1700 socket as the Z690 models, so it is backward compatible with all coolers that supported the previous generation, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
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.
Undeniably ROG Strix
The ROG Strix Ecosystem Awaits Diagonal slats, brushed aluminum, and bold RGB have become hallmarks of the ROG aesthetic, and the Strix Z790-E bears all of them with pride. But for this generation, translucent diffusers line the I/O shroud and the Q-Release array, softly contrasting the metallic heatsinks nearby.
Create a Fully Customized Gaming Setup
DIY FRIENDLY PCIE SLOT Q-RELEASEA physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one press, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device. The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an SSD from an M.2 slot. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, eliminating the need for a traditional screw.
PCIe 5.0 PerformanceFully embracing the new standard, the Strix Z790-E offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the onboard M.2 slots is geared for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface, while all the rest can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers.
Supreme Networking Capability
WIFI 6EOnboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
Intel® 2.5 GB EthernetLow-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
Fine-quality Components for Exceptional Clarity & Fidelity
Unique Design Features for Powerful Audio ROG Strix Z790 motherboards are pre-loaded with the DTS® Sound Unbound™ app that envelops you in audio as never before, conjuring whole new levels of immersion for extraordinary gaming and entertainment experiences. ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z790-E 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.
Leading Connectivity
