Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna; attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in; they just snap into place. Less hassle; and more consistent performance.
M.2 Q-Latch
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
The top PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot is well-equipped for the increased size and bandwidth of next-gen graphics cards. Zippy storage options abound with four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots; all featuring robust heatsinks to maximize performance.
Power Design
1. 16(70A)+1(70A)+2 Power Stages: The VRM features 16+ 1+ 2 power stages; each rated to handle up to 70 amps.
2. Alloy Chokes And Durable Capacitors: Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures; enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
3. Dual Procool II Power Connectors: ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.
4. Six-Layer Pub: A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Memory
DDR5 Domination: ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance; and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing; now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the Strix Z790-A II; and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.
Cooling
1. VRM Heatsinks: Covering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Intel 13th and 14th-generation processors.
2. M.2 Backplate: An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance; even when airflow is restricted.
3. M.2 Heatsinks: Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
Networking
1. WiFi 7: With Multi-Link Operation (MLO); WiFi 7 can outperform WiFi 6E to deliver faster speeds; higher reliability; and increased data transfer efficiency.
MLO (Multi-link Operation) full functions support will be ready in Windows 11 2024 Platform (Windows 11 24H2) or later.
WiFi 7 features require an onboard WiFi chipset; WiFi AP; and WiFi 7-supported operating systems to support the corresponding features.
2. Intel 2.5G Ethernet: Low-latency gaming; speedy file transfers; and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
Asus Wifi Q-Antenna
Dual transceivers support the 2.4; 5; and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput; with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
USB 20GBPS
The Strix Z790-A II comes loaded with two USB 20Gbps Type-C connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O; the other can be attached to the chassis front panel and it also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30W.
