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.

Multiple Temperature Sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

AIO Pump Header

A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.

Smart Protection

A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.

4-Pin PWM/DC Fan

Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

PERFORMANCE

The PRIME Z790-P-CSM motherboard is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Intel® Processors. ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.

Robust Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel® processors. The PRIME Z790-P-CSM is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

ProCool Connectors
