Product details

ASUS Z590 series motherboards are designed to squeeze every ounce of performance out of 11th generation Intel Core processors. Updated power supply designs underpin the entire range, which is enhanced
by connectivity options and expanded with refined features that use artificial intelligence to put advanced performance at your fingertips.ASUS Z590 motherboards feature exclusive software and firmware utilities that use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the user experience. On select motherboard models, ASUS AI enhancements include four distinct performance pillars: Overclocking, Cooling, Networking and even Onboard Audio. This makes advanced optimisations and tweaks more accessible to both staff and savvy PC home improvement veterans.To ensure system stability under heavy CPU workloads, ASUS Z590 motherboards use large VRM and chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area and mass. The same philosophy applies to integrated M.2 heatsinks to ensure readiness for the next wave of PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
