Features


All-round Performance

ROG Strix Z590-I Gaming WiFi helps you get the most out of your gaming build with up-rated power delivery, optimized cooling, and intelligent controls that let you manage overclocking, cooling, networking and audio settings.


Power Design

Digital Power control and an array of power stages provide the muscle needed to control the latest Intel CPUs.

Teamed Power Stages

8+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

Ferrite Chokes and Capacitors

Superior chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.

Ten-Layer PCB

The PCB design quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overlocking heatroom.

ProcCool II Power Connector

The ASUS ProCool II socket is built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. Metal armor improves heat dissipation, and lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.

DIGI+ Power Controller

The built-in Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and clean power delivery to the CPU.

Cooling - Cooling Innovation

Custom Delta Superflo Fan

The embedded VRM fan is custom-made for low noise and features durable bearings rated to last up to 60,000 hours. The fan speed curve references VRM temperatures to provide optimal cooling for any workload.

Integrated I/O Cover and VRM Heatsinks

Connected by an L-shaped heat pipe, the two VRM heatsinks and aluminum I/O cover provide ample mass and surface area to deal with the thermals of Intel’s latest processors.

Triple-Decker Heatsink

The innovative triple-decker cooling array neatly stacks the M.2 and PCH heatsinks together to save prized motherboard space. The design is cleverly tiered to efficiently wick heat away from onboard components while keeping M.2 SSD temperatures in check.

Skived-Fin Design

The high-density skived-fin heatsinks provide masses of surface area and are positioned to take full advantage of airflow from the VRM fan and CPU cooler.

M.2 Backplate

An integrated M.2 backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.

Cooler By Design

ROG Strix Z590 motherboards feature comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

CPU Fan Header

A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers for CPU coolers

AIO Pump Fan Header

A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups

M.2 Heatsink

Keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability

M.2 Backplate

Provides additional mass to deal with the thermal load of high-performance M.2 drives

4-pin PWM/DC Fan Headers

Each header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans

Intelligent Control - Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation

This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or during calls.

AI Overclocking
