AI Cooling ll

AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then it monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds

M.2 Heatsinks

An M.2 heatsink takes care of the two M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. Removable captive screws reduce the risk of drops or loss during heatsink removal.

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.

Robust Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P D4 is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs. 1. ProCool Connectors: Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4-pin + 8-pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors. 2. 14 + 1 Teamed Power Stage A VRM with 14 + 1 DrMOS delivers the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

DDR4

DDR4 5333 (OC) Improvements to trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

PRIME Z790-P D4 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.

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.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C

A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including the rear USB Type-C connectors with ultrafast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 compliant)

PRIME Z790-P D4 motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. With an ASUS add-on card*, PRIME motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution.
