Asus ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI 90MB1E00-M0EAY0

ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI
Well-versed in style, performance, cooling, and connectivity, the DDR5 variant of the ROG Strix Z790-A exudes the same balance as its D4 brethren, but after taking a master class in memory. A robust VRM topped with stout silver heatsinks comfortably articulates power for the latest Intel 13th Gen Core processors, while PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E, and high-speed USB flesh out the board's fluency across a variety of disciplines. And a vast collection of tuning options and utilities derived from its ROG heritage are the icing on top.
