Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4 (90MB1CR0-M0EAY0)

Reliable, full-sized, well-equipped motherboard from the 2022 Asus The Ultimate Force family. It stands out against the background of its brothers due to the use of the advanced flagship Intel Z790 chipset, a 17-phase power system and a PCI-E 5.0 data bus. The board is equipped with an Intel LGA 1700 socket and is designed to install Intel 12th and 13th generation APUs (Alder Lake and Raptor Lake).

Included in the upper price segment, aimed at gamers, streamers and overclocking enthusiasts who find the capabilities of Asus Prime motherboards insufficient, but do not plan to overpay for top models from the ROG STRIX and ROG MAXIMUS series. Unlike flagship overclocking models designed for DDR5 memory, Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4 works with more affordable DDR4 RAM (4x32 GB, 5333 MHz, XMP support).

The fifth version of the PCI-E system interface gives a serious boost to the system when working with high-speed M.2 SSDs, significantly reducing the time it takes to load textures into local video memory. Overall, the board layout includes four slots, 4 M.2 ports, and 4 SATA3 slots for more traditional storage. Considering that it belongs to the gaming segment, the board is equipped with a lot of additional connectors for connecting RGB/ARGB tapes and water pumps.

Additional equipment of the device includes a 2.5-gigabit network controller, a built-in wireless module (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth v 5.2) and front and rear USB-C ports supporting the 3.2 gen2x2 standard. All in all, the advanced specs of this model will give you a free hand when building a powerful gaming/work PC with a 16-core processor, 128 GB of RAM, an RTX 3080 caliber graphics card, and several fast SSDs.
