Asus has introduced four new motherboards, including the Z790 PCH, which should be able to run all CPUs from the 12th, 13th and 14th Intel Core generations. All new boards are equipped with WiFi 7, which also uses a new Q antenna The latter should enable higher data rates and better range.
Asus has already presented three new Z790 motherboards for the LGA 1700 socket at Gamescom. Four more boards are now following, which also come with a Z790 chipset. The new board is already compatible with the Raptor Lake refresh, which 14. Intel Core Generation Work Compared to the 13th generation, the new CPUs offer no major innovations, only slightly increased clock speeds. Only the Core i7 received a core upgrade and now has 12 efficient cores. Asus has announced the following motherboards:
- ROG Maximus Z790 formula – 809 euros
- ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore – 769 euros
- ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II – 678 euros
- ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi II – 584 euros

The new boards are equipped with a WiFi 7 module (802.11be), which enables significantly higher transmission rates. Asus combines the whole thing with a new one WiFi Q-Antenna, which is said to have an optimized circuit and improved internal connectivity. So directional antennas have to ensure better signal throughput in 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. about Armory Crate App The ideal orientation of the antenna can be found.
DIMM flex arguably maximizes memory performance
There is also a new feature DIMM flex, which can be used to read the RAM temperature. Based on the current temperature, the memory controller dynamically adjusts to optimize performance. According to Asus, the feature is particularly useful in memory-sensitive applications. Frame rates on Metro Exodus are reported to be up to 16 percent better on average.
Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Source: Water-cooled flagship
The ROG Maximus Z790 Formula is the new flagship model from Asus The board is completely white and has a two-inch OLED display on which personalized content can be displayed. The VRMs are cooled by HybridChill copper VRM blocks. The cooler can optionally be connected to a Custom water cooler Connected to maximize cooling performance. The formula also offers some Thunderbolt 4 ports, 5Gb Ethernet and a ROG SupremeFX audio solution.
