Product Information

Now, AEMP II offers even more flexibility. With the latest firmware update, AEMP II allows users to optimize the performance of a four-DIMM DDR5 RAM configuration, even with a mixture of different brands and dies. Increasing the memory capacity of your build by adding additional DIMMs has never been easier — with AEMP II, you can get optimized memory performance even when all four memory modules are not an exact match. DIMM Flex maximizes memory performance and stability Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. Likewise, boards from all three of these chipsets have support for PCIe 5.0, usually in the form of the top x16 slot intended for discrete graphics cards, and PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. Intel H710 Chipset: Does it exist? With every generation of PC components, we work to make the process of building a PC easier. The exclusive ASUS Q-Design innovations across our Z790 lineup simplify and streamline the process of building and upgrading your PC.

The 320Mhz in the 6 GHz band may be unavailable in some regions / countries due to regulatory restrictions. H*70 motherboards are a bit of a rarity; last generation only eight or so models utilized this chipset, versus 63 for B660 and 89 for Z690. H770 seems to continue this trend, as at the moment there appears to be only one H770 make available, the Prime H770-PLUS D4 manufactured by Asus.

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology

WiFi 7 features requires WiFi routers and client devices with WiFi 7-supported operating systems to support the corresponding features. We complement the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero EVA-02 Edition’s unique aesthetics with a powerful feature set. It offers all the power, cooling and flexible features you need to take Intel® Core™ processors and DDR5 memory kits to the next level.

Configure the fan's operating speed manually or use pre-configured Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes. By default, system fans will automatically switch to full speed if the temperature reaches 75° C. For a time, PC builders debated whether they’d prefer affordable DDR4 or high-performance DDR5 RAM for their systems. Now that the DDR5 market has matured, and a wide range of memory kits are available at increasingly enticing prices, it’s getting harder to ignore the performance potential of next-gen memory. Content creators, gamers, engineers who work with large datasets, and heavy multitaskers all benefit from a high-core-count CPU with exceptional multi-threaded performance — and DDR5 is a better match for Intel's 14th Gen Core CPUs than DDR4. Being a PC enthusiast doesn’t mean that you only use your PC. Many of us, if not most of us, bounce between our PCs and our mobile devices throughout the day. Our latest ROG and ROG Strix Z790 WiFi 7 motherboards help you unify your tech life with a complimentary subscription to Intel Unison Premium.**** This app lets your PC, smartphone, and tablet work together in a wide variety of ways. With Intel Unison Premium, you can make phone calls using your PC without touching your phone, use a compatible tablet as a second display, access photos on your smartphone using your PC, and wirelessly transfer content between your phone, computer, and tablet. You can even keep an eye on your text messages and notifications while you’re working on PC so that you can stay connected without losing your flow. Do more with Armoury Crate H770’s main draw is its increased connectivity, which mainly comes in the form of additional PCIe and USB slots. A great real-world example of this can be seen when comparing Asus’ B760-PLUS D4 with their H770-PLUS D4, since these are the same model within their respective chipsets.As of the time of writing, Intel has yet to release an H710 chipset. This is somewhat surprising, since typically the H*10 chipset will release alongside the launch of same-generation non-K CPUs, at the same time as B*60 and H*70. For example, both the H610, B660, and H670 chipsets released in January of 2022, the same time 12th-gen units like the Core i3-12100 and Core i5-12400 launched. Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn’t hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That’s why the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. Although this hasn’t changed with Intel’s latest Z790 chipset, Intel does offer support for both DDR5 and DDR4 with its 13th Gen Raptor Lake Core processors; something AMD doesn’t do with Ryzen 7000 series, much to consumer’s angst. Even though Intel has opted for a higher DDR5 memory speed (5600 MT/s versus 4800 MT/s) compared to Alder Lake, DDR4 memory support remains at DDR4-3200. Intel Z690, Z590, and Z490 Chipset Comparison

As you can see, chipset doesn’t define every aspect of a motherboard, as third-party input has a role in this. Still, there are certain trends that tend to remain true across most models of a chipset, and this is what we’ll be looking at. Native Alder Lake and Raptor Lake support – the Z790 is designed to support both Intel 12th Gen and 13th Gen Core CPUs out of the box. Z690 on the other hand requires a BIOS update. Due to this, Z790 boards tend to have plenty of NVMe SSD-compatible M.2 slots. For example, even the Micro-ATX Asus Prime Z790M-PLUS D4 has three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots. Essentially, Z790 motherboards are superior in every category, but they come with a significantly increased price tag. B760 vs H770 vs Z790: Which 700-Series Chipset is Best?
