With a TUF Gaming motherboard, users know that they are getting essential gaming features, battle-hardened reliability and an understated aesthetic that fits in a wide range of builds. Now they are also getting DDR5 memory module support with the introduction of the TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi. These new motherboards join our existing Z790 and Z690 motherboards, which also support Intel’s latest and greatest chips through a simple firmware update. There’s a lot to go over with the new additions to our Z790 motherboard family: they mark the debut of our first WiFi 7 motherboards, for one, and we’re increasing the number of models with onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots. They offer our latest game-changing innovations like DIMM Flex, and they make the process of building a PC easier than ever with their DIY-friendly features. Read on for all the details, but if there’s a specific topic you’re interested in, follow the links below to jump ahead to a specific section. Designed with gamers in mind, the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE offers exceptional customization options to suit your personal style. With ASUS Aura Sync, you can synchronize your motherboard's RGB lighting with other compatible peripherals, creating a stunning and immersive gaming environment.

For a time, PC builders debated whether they’d prefer affordable DDR4 or high-performance DDR5 RAM for their systems. Now that the DDR5 market has matured, and a wide range of memory kits are available at increasingly enticing prices, it’s getting harder to ignore the performance potential of next-gen memory. Content creators, gamers, engineers who work with large datasets, and heavy multitaskers all benefit from a high-core-count CPU with exceptional multi-threaded performance — and DDR5 is a better match for Intel's 14th Gen Core CPUs than DDR4. With every generation of PC components, we work to make the process of building a PC easier. The exclusive ASUS Q-Design innovations across our Z790 lineup simplify and streamline the process of building and upgrading your PC. This board is ready for action with the latest 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs with an upgraded power solution. It boasts 8+8 ProCool II power connectors, and its 16+1 DrMOS power stages—up from the 14+1 arrangement in our TUF Gaming Z690 family—augment the VRM’s ability to deliver stable power while staying cool under pressure.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 Apex utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. DIMM Flex dynamically adjusts memory controller behavior based on current memory temperature to optimize performance while ensuring stability. It uses real-time temperature data from a thermal sensor integrated close to the memory slots to make frequency adjustments.
