The DDR5 variant of the ROG Strix Z790-A is just as balanced in terms of style, performance, cooling, and connectivity as its D4 counterparts, but it has mastered the art of memory. A robust VRM with stable silver heatsinks ensures a reliable power supply for Intel's 13th Gen Core processors, while PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E, and high-speed USB reinforce the board's capabilities across a variety of disciplines. An extensive collection of tuning options and utilities, stemming from the ROG legacy, adds the finishing touch. A physical button unlocks the security latch of the first PCIe slot with a press, simplifying the process of removing a PCIe card from the motherboard when upgrading to a GPU or another compatible device. The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an SSD from an M.2 slot. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, eliminating the need for a traditional screw.
