Asus Prime Z790-P WiFi CSM Motherboard

The PRIME Z790-P WIFI-CSM is designed for high-performance Intel desktop builds that demand cutting-edge connectivity, storage support and future-proofing. Supporting Intel’s LGA 1700 socket processors (12th, 13th and 14th Gen), this board features the Intel Z790 chipset, PCIe 5.0 support, high-speed DDR5 memory compatibility, integrated WiFi 6 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet, along with multiple M.2 NVMe slots for modern storage. It is ideal for gaming rigs, creator workstations and upgrade-friendly systems where performance and versatility matter.

The PRIME Z790-P WIFI-CSM includes an ATX form-factor board with support for DDR5 memory, up to high frequencies via overclocking, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for next-gen graphics cards, and three M.2 slots (two in PCIe 4.0 x4 mode, one supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 & SATA). Networking features include Intel WiFi 6 and Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet. The board also includes robust power stages (14+1 DrMOS power design) and comprehensive cooling solutions for demanding workloads.

The board requires a compatible Intel LGA 1700 desktop processor and fits standard ATX cases. A quality ATX power supply with appropriate connectors (24-pin + 8-pin CPU) is needed, especially for high-end CPUs. While the board supports DDR5 memory, older DDR4 is not supported. For maximum performance, use a PCIe 5.0 graphics card and fast NVMe SSDs. BIOS updates may be required for full compatibility with 14th-Gen Intel processors.
