ASUS Q-Design: Simplified PC Building

The PCIe Q-Release button allows for effortless graphics card removal with a single press. This convenient feature, previously exclusive to high-end Z690 motherboards, is now available on TUF Gaming and Prime Z790-A WiFi models.

Q-DIMM single-sided memory latch design simplifies RAM installation and upgrades. With a single latch on the accessible side of the DIMM slot, users no longer need to worry about latches being obstructed by the graphics card.

The M.2 Q-Latch eliminates the need for tiny, easily lost M.2 screws. Users can secure or release M.2 drives with their fingertips. This feature is available across ROG Maximus, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming Z790 motherboards, and even the Prime Z790-A WiFi.

Conclusion

The ASUS Z790 motherboards offer a compelling platform for 13th Gen Intel Core processors, delivering cutting-edge performance, intelligent features, and user-friendly design. From optimized memory and overclocking to advanced cooling and simplified installation, these motherboards provide a comprehensive solution for building and upgrading your next PC.
