Multi-GPU support
WS Z390 PRO fits up to four dual-slot graphics cards and supports both NVIDIA
SLI and AMD CrossFireX for multi-GPU setups that harness the full power of the
latest graphics technologies, delivering the best performance for design,
modeling, medical research and processing-intensive simulation and rendering
applications.
Tune it your way
WS Z390 PRO simplifies CPU overclocking with software and extensive tweaking
options that give beginners and seasoned overclockers alike the tools to build
well-tuned machines. A new memory trace layout provides stability and
compatibility for both traditional DIMMs and RGB-infused memory, letting you
pair a broad choice of DRAM kits with your build.
AI Overclocking
ASUS AI Overclocking makes automatic tuning faster and smarter than ever
before. Available in Windows or directly through the UEFI, it profiles the CPU
and cooling to predict the optimal configuration for each individual
system.
OptiMem II | Reimagined from the ground up
To provide Intel's latest processors' unfettered access to memory bandwidth,
we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II
tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce
vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to
further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations,
we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned
signaling.
MemOK! II | Automated Recovery
MemOK! II automatically fixes boot failures that arise due to memory
overclocking and instability. When a DRAM-related POST error occurs, the
motherboard adjusts memory parameters until the system is able to
start.
Cool and Reliable
Designed to tackle compute workloads WS Z390 PRO has enhanced power delivery
for multithreaded processors and an array of controllable headers for liquid
loops and air coolers.
Cooler by design
WS Z390 PRO features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever,
configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
DR. MOS
The WS Z390 PRO's CPU VRM utilizes Dr. MOS power stages that combine
high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the
power and efficiency that Intel's latest processors demand.
ProCool power connector
Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight
specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. This lowers
impedance, which helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.
SafeSlot | Protect your graphics card
investment
SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide
superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using
a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal
for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB
through additional solder points.
M.2 heatsink | Keep your SSD cooler
WS Z390 PRO has an ultra-efficient heatsink to reduce M.2 SSD temperatures
for optimal storage performance and improved SSD longevity.
Speed up with onboard M.2 up to 32Gbps
With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps
data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or
application drive, providing fast access to data.
U.2 | Join the NVMe revolution
The revolutionary specification that lets your SSDs scream at top speed.
Simply attach your choice of drive and experience data-transfer speeds of up to
32Gbps and free up a PCIe slot for another expansion card.
Intel Optane memory | Intel Optane memory ready
Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by
WS Z390 PRO. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce
boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C | Ultimate-speed 10Gbps with USB
3.1 Gen 2 onboard
With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2
Type-C ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing
data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front Panel Connector | Future-proof
connectivity
WS Z390 PRO's front panel USB 3.1 connector is ready for next-gen PC cases
and devices.
ThunderboltEX 3 Card ready
Experience blistering Thunderbolt 3 speeds and any-way-up
connectivity
WS Z390 PRO supports ThunderboltEX 3, an Intel-certified Thunderbolt 3 add-on
card that enables bi-directional speeds of up to 40Gbps through a single cable.
Thunderbolt 3 also supports daisy-chaining up to six devices, has a reversible
USB-C connector for USB 3.1 compatibility, and supports USB Power Delivery for
fast, high-power charging of up to 36W
Intel Ethernet | Faster data transfers, lower CPU usage
WS Z390 PRO features the very latest Intel Ethernet. Intel's LAN has the
advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP
throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.
Turbo LAN
Network-optimization software for customizable packet prioritization
Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology allows you to configure
application priority via an intuitive interface, and reduces network lag.
Intel Z390 chipset
The Intel Z390 is a single-chipset design that supports Socket 1151 for 9th
Gen and 8th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It provides
