ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator WiFi Motherboard

The ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator WiFi is a professional-grade ATX motherboard built for content creators and power users. Featuring the Intel Z790 chipset with LGA 1700 socket, this motherboard supports 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors, delivering the performance needed for demanding creative workflows.

Professional Connectivity

Two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB4 compliant) provide bi-directional data transfers up to 40 Gbps, enabling seamless connection to external displays and storage devices. The motherboard supports one 8K or two 4K displays through its Thunderbolt 4 outputs. Dual Ethernet configuration includes a 10 Gb port for network-attached storage and a 2.5 Gb port for internet connectivity, ensuring efficient data management and fast transfers.

High-Speed Storage and Expansion

Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support drives up to 22110 size with NVMe RAID capability for maximum storage performance. Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots with SafeSlot protection accommodate the latest graphics cards, while the Q-Release button simplifies installation and removal. Eight SATA III ports provide additional storage options for legacy drives.

DDR5 Memory Support

Four DIMM slots support DDR5 memory up to 7200 MHz (overclocked) with a maximum capacity of 192GB. This dual-channel configuration ensures bandwidth for memory-intensive applications like video editing, 3D rendering, and multi-tasking workflows.

Advanced Wireless Technology

WiFi 6E with Bluetooth v5.3 takes advantage of the 6 GHz spectrum, delivering faster wireless speeds and improved performance in congested environments. The tri-band support (2.4/5/6 GHz) provides flexibility for different connectivity needs.

Robust Power Delivery

A 16+1 power stage design rated for 70 amps ensures stable power delivery to high-performance processors. The comprehensive thermal solution includes massive VRM and chipset heatsinks, aluminum M.2 heatsinks, and seven 4-pin PWM fan headers plus an AIO pump header for optimal cooling.

Creator-Focused Features

ProArt Creator Hub software provides centralized control over system monitoring, fan profiles, and performance modes. AI Overclocking automatically tunes CPU settings, while AI Cooling II balances thermals and acoustics. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation improves audio clarity during video calls by reducing background noise from both microphone input and incoming audio.

Convenient Installation

DIY-friendly features include PCIe Slot Q-Release, M.2 Q-Latch for tool-free SSD installation, SafeSlot and SafeDIMM reinforcement, pre-mounted I/O shield, BIOS FlashBack, and Q-Connector for simplified front panel connections.

Front Panel Charging

The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front panel connector supports Quick Charge 4+ up to 60W, enabling fast charging for pen displays, tablets, and mobile devices while maintaining 20 Gbps data transfer speeds.
