White surfaces and abundant gaming power: the ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II

ROG Strix motherboards take the basic DNA of the ROG Maximus series and distill it into more attainable designs that provide exceptional gaming performance and outspoken style. The ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II moves the series forward with more connectivity, refined VRM cooling and more storage options.

The ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II stands ready to serve as the foundation for a white-themed build with its striking white and silver I/O shroud and heatsinks, each an eye-catching contrast to the black PCB. Even the ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna is draped in luxurious white so that a build has a cohesive aesthetic.

WiFi 7 support headlines this motherboard’s spec sheet, but it is far from the only upgrade offered by the ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II. ASUS has boosted its M.2 slot count up to five, and each of those slots has robust cooling with a built-in heatsink. The rear I/O selection now includes a total of twelve USB ports to ensure that users have the connectivity that they need. And ASUS has bolstered the VRM cooling solution with massive heatsinks and high-conductivity thermal pads.
