Z790 GAMING PLUS AX (rev.1.0)

Shielded Memory Routing
All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.

Impedance Optimized Topology
By optimizing memory trace width, length and style from HPC simulation to actual implementation, overall impedance is lowered between CPU memory controller and memory modules to achieve higher DDR5 speed.

Low Signal Loss PCB
Server grade mid-loss or low-loss PCB material is chosen to lower signal loss inside PCB and maintain DDR5 high speed signal transmission.

Secure Mode
Motherboard provides fixed 5V to Native DDR5 memory and built-in PMIC outputs locked 1.1v to memory IC.

• • Unlocks Native DDR5 PMIC secure mode into programmable mode and controls Native DDR5 voltage with wide range.
• • Supports all PMIC vendors for maximum compatibility

* Memory overclocking capability will vary based on users’ hardware configuration

Accelerate instantly
Boost memory performance instantly.

Automate input
No need to manually configure multiple memory parameters like clock, voltage, and timings.

Streamline overclocking
Easily overclock Native and XMP 3.0 DDR5 memory to higher frequencies.

Integrate database
Built-in database of pre-tuned profiles for different memory IC vendors.

• • SPD Re-defined or retrieve from database
    Users can define two empty SPD profiles and transfer them to another computer.

• • Performance Simulation
    Simulate memory performance quickly by inputting clock and timing parameters.

• • Save/Load Profile
    Save and load memory profiles for online sharing.

• • Boost non-overclockable DDR5 memory frequency
    Increase the frequency of non-overclockable DDR5 memory.

• One-click Clear Profile
  Reset memory settings conveniently.

  Thermal

  Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink

  Real One-piece Build
  TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design.

  Multi-Cut Design
  TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance.

The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

Smart Fan 6

ensures optimal cooling and quiet operation for your gaming PC, with support for PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable settings, and intuitive temperature monitoring.

• High Current Support: Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection.
• Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve.
• Dual Curve Mode: Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario.
• Fan Stop: Fan can stop completely below users’ specified temperature point.

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI

1. Enhance Fan Curve UI : Enhance fan curve control with an expanded number of control points, from 5 to 7, and a larger fan speed graph, enabling users to have more precise and effortless control over fan curve settings.
2. Slope/Stair Dual Graph Mode : Switch between Slope and Stair modes to adapt to various user scenarios. Slope mode provides a linear fan speed curve, while Stair mode maintains a constant fan speed within specified temperature intervals.
3. Manual Input : For advanced users, manual input of fan speeds is available for fine-tuning and precise control over the cooling system.
4. EZ Tuning : Simplify the process with EZ Tuning by setting 4 points on a rough temperature/fan speed scale. Smart Fan 6 will quickly generate a fan curve based on these points.
5. Fan Curve Profile : Save your customized fan curve profile in the BIOS ROM, ensuring it remains intact even after BIOS updates.
