Asus PRIME Z790-P DDR4 (90MB1CV0-M0EAY0)

A full-format motherboard from the Asus Prime lineup with a focus on durability and reliability. Unlike most of its counterparts in the Prime series, it is based on the advanced Z790 system logic, equipped with a modern Intel LGA 1700 processor socket, and its power subsystem is designed to power high-performance Core i5 / i7 / i9 hybrid processors from the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake families.

At the same time, it works with DDR4-5333 memory, which is not much inferior to DDR5 strips in speed, but costs less. Thus, the Asus PRIME Z790-P DDR4 can be a good choice for a moderately powerful modern gaming or work build with an optimal price-performance ratio. Traditionally for the Prime series, the manufacturer focuses on the reliability and durability of the device. A fairly powerful 14-phase power subsystem is responsible for powering all the elements, the printed circuit board textolite has an increased density, the VRM and PCH zones are equipped with additional cooling, the M.2 ports are covered with radiators, and the PCI-E slots are reinforced with reinforced fiber.

The board layout includes four XMP-enabled RAM slots, three M.2 ports for high-speed M.2 SSDs with PCI-E 4.0 support, and four SATA3 connectors for more traditional drives. Network traffic is handled by a gigabit LAN controller from Realtek. The device allows you to install three ARGB tapes, additional case fans and water cooling into the case. Plus, the board supports several proprietary overclocking tools (AI Cooling II, XMP 3.0, OptiMem II and Asus AEMP II).
