  • OptiMem II
    Careful routing of traces and vias, plus ground layer optimizations to preserve signal integrity for improved memory overclocking
  • Enhanced power solution
    Premium components provide better power efficiency
  • UEFI BIOS
    New UEFI options include a search function that allows you to find settings easily
  • Industry-leading cooling options
    Comprehensive controls for fans and AIO pump, via Fan Xpert 4 or the acclaimed UEFI
  • M.2 heatsink
    Ultra-efficient heatsink reduces M.2 SSD temperatures by up to 20°C for unthrottled transfer speeds and enhanced reliability

Features

  • Tune it your way
    Prime Z390 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
    • Intelligent Control
      • 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
      • CPU Potential
        We created a proprietary algorithm that evaluates the capabilities of your CPU
      • Cooling Capability
        The onboard intelligence also watches system vitals like temperatures, fan speeds, and power draw to gauge cooling performance
      • 5-way Optimization
        Take care of complex tuning with just one click. ASUS 5-Way Optimization is a system-wide tuning utility that overclocks the processor and tunes fan speeds to ensure the best balance between cooling and acoustics. The automated CPU tuning feature of 5-Way Optimization leverages the same onboard intelligence as AI Overclocking, but goes further by running a Prime95 based stress test to deliver a result that's well-tuned from the get-go
      • Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
        The UEFI BIOS is an early waypoint on any PC-building journey, and Prime Z390-A offers one of the best in the business
    • Memory Enhancements
      • OptiMem II
        DDR4 OC 4266+MHz. 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
      Prime Z390-A is designed for builders who want essential ASUS reliability and performance. More CPU cores create power-delivery challenges, so Prime Z390-A has extra power phases and comprehensive cooling features for optimal performance
      • Cooler By Design
        Prime Z390-A features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS
        • Multiple temperature sources
          Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and via Fan Xpert 4 you can even map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU and CPU-intensive tasks
        • Dual pump headers
          A dedicated header that supplies over 3A for high-performance PWM or DC water pumps, plus a second dedicated header for AIOs
        • 4-pin PWM/DC fan
          Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans
        • ASUS Fan Extension Card support
          Includes three additional DC or PWM fan headers, plus three thermal-probe headers
        • Smart protection
          A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and over-current
      • M.2 heatsink
        Keep your SSD cooler. Prime Z390-A has an ultra-efficient heatsink to reduce M.2 SSD temperatures by up to 20°C — and that means optimal storage performance and improved SSD longevity
    • Visual beauty
      • Aura Sync
        Outshine the competition. A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers.* And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware
