Sustainable Solution
Sustainable Solution logo

ASUS is on a mission to create a sustainable future where all can flourish on the planet we call home.

Every step counts, and as part of ASUS’s commitment to creating a more sustainable future, ASUS has begun to utilize post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and paper materials certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) in the packaging of motherboard.

Join us on our journey as we make the world a better place.

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD’s algorithm can leverage the motherboard’s robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
AI Overclocking
What’s New about AI Overclocking?
As the first foray of AI Overclocking on an AMD architecture, the set of parameters has changed substantially, but voltage and clock speeds are still the primary targets for adjustment.
Predictive settings in the utility are designed to work in tandem with Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but they go one step further by enhancing the values for EDC, TDC, and PPT, as well as tuning the curve optimizer.
Finally, by enabling the Dynamic OC Switcher, AI Overclocking ensures that the CPU is using ideal settings whether in single- or multi-threaded workloads.

USB 20Gbps (Type-C®)

Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This TUF GAMING motherboard includes a USB Type-C® port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

PCIe 5.0

The latest Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.

PCIe 5.0 compared to PCIe 4.0 in data transfer speed

Front USB 10Gbps (Type-C®)

A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 10Gbps (Type-C®) connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Thunderbolt™(USB4®) Support

The TUF GAMING Z790 series features Thunderbolt 4 support via an on-board header. With an Intel-certified ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add-on card*, this motherboard can also enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multiscreen connection and supports up to an 8K-resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 watts of power to fast-charge devices.
