ASUS Z790 Motherboards | Reign Supreme | Best Motherboard for 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors

ASUS and ROG Z790 motherboards promise full support for 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors, with even higher clock speeds, more cores, and support for faster DDR5 memory than ever before. The ROG, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, Prime, and ProArt series are prepared for this onslaught with enhanced performance tuning, cooling, power delivery, connectivity, and ease of installation.

This new ASUS platform is designed to extract every ounce of performance from the latest Intel Core CPUs for gamers, creators, and users of all kinds while offering a variety of aesthetic designs to suit every taste.

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP II is based on a CPU and memory module’s ability to train the memory chips on your kit, and it presents an optimized clock speed that can effortlessly unleash performance.

Built through a flexible training method, AEMP II makes it easy to not only tune the memory above baseline settings but also maintain the stability of system operation, whether getting the most out of an entry-level module or priming a high-speed kit for ultimate performance.

ROG Maximus motherboards deliver the best that the Z790 platform has to offer. Each delivers its own unique design and features, opening new territories for the elites of PC DIY: the makers, the die-hard enthusiasts and the custom PC pioneers who construct captivating machines that push performance boundaries.
