The ROG Maximus Z790 Formula is the ultimate motherboard to feature our head-turning Moonlight White aesthetic. Beneath this bold expression lies a powerhouse arsenal of features, including the exclusive Hybrid Chill VRM cooling system ready to elevate 14th-gen Intel processors, advanced DDR5 settings, a multitude of PCIe 5.0 slots for both graphics cards & storage, blistering Intel Wi-Fi 7 networking & a full slate of customizable ARGB lightning to make your premium build truly stand out from the crowd. ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES Maximize your CPU’s performance potential with intuitive tools that offer advanced control & monitoring. AI OVERCLOCKING Tuning is now faster & smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU & cooling to predict the optimal configuration & push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation. DIFFERENTIAL SENSING Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn’t ideal, leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU & the value reported to software. The ROG Maximus Z790 Formula features a differential-sensing circuit & delicate IC that simplify overclocking & tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately. TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE Today’s CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance. ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, back in 2005. The board’s VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, & they are still used for similar purposes today. Modern CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, & the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition, they consume less power at idle & can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response. Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn’t hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That’s why the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers & phase-doublers control the circuit, & the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical & thermal standpoint. The power stages feature low RDSON to reduce switching & conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom. MEMORY Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked. ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, & DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to enhanced signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the Maximus Z790 Formula, & who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI. DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts a powerful new way to overclock their memory by employing specialized hardware circuitry to address the stability issues in DDR5 memory caused by temperature sensitivity. When temperatures permit, it can maximize memory performance & efficiency, & when temperatures increase, it can adjust memory performance downward to maintain stability. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature that allows users to achieve supreme memory performance & compatibility with optimized clock speeds, even when theyre using PMIC-restricted memory modules that do not provide an XMP or EXPO profile. Developed through a flexible training method, AEMP II simplifies the process of fine-tuning memory settings beyond the baseline configuration, all while ensuring system stability. This applies whether you are maximizing the potential of an entry-level module or preparing a high-speed kit for ultimate performance. Now, AEMP II offers even more flexibility. With the latest firmware update, AEMP II allows users to optimize the performance of a four-DIMM DDR5 RAM configuration, even with a mixture of different brands & dies. Increasing the memory capacity of your build by adding additional DIMMs has never been easier — with AEMP II, you can get optimized memory performance even when all four memory modules are not an exact match, provided that all four DIMMs have the same capacity. HYBRIDCHILL The ASUS Hybrid Chill water block leverages a fusion of passive & liquid cooling to achieve highly efficient VRM operation. Its copper water channels resist corrosion & offer excellent heat dissipation, while its threaded fittings use the G1/4” industry standard to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of custom cooling setups. THERMAL MANAGEMENT An extensive array of headers line the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula for precise cooling control & monitoring. Multiple temperature sources Each header can be set to monitor & react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, & all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. 4-pin fan headers In addition to the pair of CPU fan headers, the Maximus Z790 Formula features four chassis headers, & each supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. AIO pump header An additional PWM/DC fan header offers dedicated control of self-contained water-cooling setups. ROG WATER-COOLING ZONE Dual water-temperature headers & a flow-rate header feed information straight into Armoury Crate, allowing you to track coolant temperatures & the flow rate of the entire loop. Water pump+ A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to a high-performance PWM or DC water pumps. Water in/out A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component. Water flow A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop. COOLER COMPATIBILITY ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics & customizable functionality for new Z790 motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig. CONNECTIVITY WIFI 7 Next-gen Wi Fi 7* chipset introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth in the 6 GHz band & 4096 QAM, delivering up to 2.4X ultra-fast Wi Fi speeds**.
