Description

Built for the Next Generation of Gaming. Game and multitask without compromise powered by Intel’s performance hybrid architecture on an unlocked processor. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Z790 MAX GAMING WIFI7 provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. 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. AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds. Aura offers full RGB lighting control with many functional presets for the RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers This utility leverages a massive database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. SafeSlot Core+ is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Detects the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices.
