Product details

The ASUS Z590 series motherboards are designed to extract every ounce of performance from Intel's 11th generation Core processors. Updated power delivery designs support the entire product range, which is enhanced by connectivity options and refined features that leverage artificial intelligence for advanced performance. ASUS Z590 motherboards come with exclusive software and firmware utilities that utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the user experience. For selected motherboard models, ASUS AI enhancements encompass four different performance pillars: overclocking, cooling, networking, and even onboard audio. This makes advanced optimizations more accessible to both professionals and seasoned PC DIY veterans. To ensure system stability under high CPU loads, ASUS Z590 motherboards use large VRM and chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area and mass. The same philosophy applies to integrated M.2 heatsinks to ensure readiness for the next wave of PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
