Asus TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WiFi 7 LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z790 chipset, providing compatibility with 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors via the LGA 1700 socket. Its defining characteristic is the 'BTF' (Back To The Future) design, which relocates the majority of power and data connectors to the rear of the board. This configuration is intended to simplify cable management for a cleaner system build and potentially improve airflow. Additionally, the primary PCIe slot is engineered to deliver up to 600W of power directly, supporting compatible high-performance graphics cards.

For system memory, the board includes four DIMM slots that support up to 192 GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM, with overclocked speeds reaching 7200 MHz. Expansion capabilities are provided by a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a primary graphics card, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, and four M.2 slots for PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drives. Network connectivity is handled by an integrated 2.5GbE LAN port and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4, offering current standards for both wired and wireless connections. The onboard audio is managed by the Realtek ALC1220P audio codec.
