Memory
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.
Benefits of ASUS OptiMem II:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
*Motherboards with OptiMem II technology were tested with Synopsys HSPICE simulation software
AEMP II for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive
firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP II
is based on a CPU and memory module’s ability to train the
memory chips on your kit, and it presents an optimized clock
speed that can effortlessly unleash performance.
Built through a flexible training method, AEMP II makes it easy
to not only tune the memory above baseline settings but
also maintain the stability of system operation, whether getting
the most out of an entry-level module or priming a
high-speed kit for ultimate performance.
*Results may vary according to the capabilities of your CPU and
memory modules.
**The comparison chart is based on a test with an
Intel® i9-13900K processor and 2x16 GB
SK Hynix DDR5-4800 non-ECC
UDIMMs, model HMCG78MEBUA081N.
***Please ensure all memory modules are from a single validated
kit. Do not combine DIMMs from multiple kits—even if
they are the same make and model. Mixing and matching DIMMs can
result in failure to boot, and compatibility cannot be
guaranteed.
****Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal
compatibility, we recommend that you install memory
modules of the same version or date code (D/C) from the same
vendor. Check with your retailer to get the correct memory
modules.
Storage
Three M.2 Slots (up to 64 Gbps)
PRIME Z790-P-CSM 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.
*Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
Connectivity
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.
CUSTOMIZATION
The PRIME Z790-P-CSM motherboard adds the nuanced details that improve every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely personal look.
Outstanding Audio
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls.
