The ASUS HybridChill water block combines passive and VRM liquid cooling. LiveDash, a built-in 2-inch OLED panel that displays useful information and features customizable graphics.
M.2_1 shares bandwidth with PCIEX16(G5)_2. When M.2_1 is enabled, PCIEX16(G5)_2 will be disabled and PCIEX16(G5)_1 will operate as x8.

Top-level motherboard designed for assembling powerful gaming systems and advanced workstations based on 12/13/14th generation Intel Core processors (Alder Lake, Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh series are supported). It belongs to the upper price segment and is part of the ROG MAXIMUS overclocking line, whose products are aimed at the most demanding gamers and overclocking enthusiasts.

The Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z790 FORMULA has 2 key features that make it stand out from other high-end boards. The first is the built-in ASUS HybridChill hybrid water block for VRM cooling, which combines passive and liquid cooling of all key areas, which is especially important for extreme overclocking of hot processors, for example, Core i9-14900. The second feature is a built-in OLED panel that can display system information such as the rotation speed of case coolers or processor temperature.

The third important feature of the device is its powerful 23-phase power subsystem with a multi-layer VRM radiator, heat-resistant Japanese capacitors and active cooling of the power circuits. Otherwise, the Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z790 FORMULA is made in the E-ATX format, has black and white colors, four slots for DDR5 RAM modules and two PCI Express 5.0 x16 expansion slots. Support for the next generation of DDR5 RAM allows you to achieve maximum performance thanks to higher frequencies and memory efficiency.

The four available DIMM slots can accommodate up to 4 DDR5-8000 sticks of 48 GB each, resulting in a huge 192 GB of memory, which significantly exceeds the requirements of modern games. Special mention should be made of the 5-gigabit Realtek LAN controller, rare for gaming boards, the high-quality SupremeFX ALC4082 audio circuit with a Saber amplifier, the latest wireless module with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, support for the Thunderbolt 4 protocol, as well as a built-in controller for controlling the Aura Sync backlight.
