Intelligent Control ASUS Intelligent Control makes your PC smart. Along with taking care of complex tuning and dynamically optimizing essential aspects of your system, it offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans. AI Cooling II AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds. UEFI BIOS The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans. M.2 heatsink The flexible M.2 heatsink with removable captive screws can take care of the M.2 1 or M.2 3 slot, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. VRM heatsinks and thermal pads The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance. Robust power design Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P D4 is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs. ASUS OptiMem II Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps) PRIME Z790-P D4 offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives. PCIe 5.0 slot 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 compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including the rear USB Type-C connector with ultrafast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps. Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 compliant) PRIME Z790-P D4 motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution. Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
