ASUS Motherboard LGA1700 mATX DDR5 PRIME Z790M-PLUS

• All-around energy efficiency

The Power Saving function contains several settings can easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.

• Precise digital power control

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.

• VRM heatsinks and thermal pads

The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

• Cooler by design

PRIME Z790M-PLUS features comprehensive cooling controls.

• AIO pump header

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

• Smart protection

A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.

• 4-pin PWM/DC fan

Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

• ProCool connectors

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

• 10 + 1 teamed power stages

10 + 1 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into packages rated for 50 amperes each, delivering power, efficiency, stability and performance to Intel processors.
