The ROG STRIX Z790-E motherboard is designed with an LGA 1700 socket and Z790 chipset, enabling you to utilize a broad range of 12th and 13th Gen Intel processors for maximum performance. With four DDR5 Dual-Channel RAM slots, you can install up to 128GB of memory with overclocked speeds of up to 7200 MHz, providing you with enhanced multitasking and rendering capabilities. Additionally, the motherboard offers five M.2 PCIe and four SATA III storage interfaces, allowing you to combine multiple storage drives to create a massive gaming library.
A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is available for resource-demanding graphics cards while PCIe 4.0 x16 (in x4 mode) slots support a wide range of utility cards. Between the back panel and internal headers, you get access to several USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2×2 ports and internal headers, offering plenty of support for peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and controllers as well as resource-demanding devices like external drives. Wireless devices can utilize Bluetooth 5.2 technology for a reliable cable-free experience. Connect to your wireless network with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) or use the integrated 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port if you prefer a wired connection.
