ASUS COMPUTER INTERNATIONAL ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-I GAMING ROG Strix Z490-I GAMING Desktop Motherboard

Triple-decker heatsink. The innovative triple-decker heatsink comprises of three heatsinks in a single module, with two M.2 heatsinks stacked on top of a PCH heatsink. The triple-decker heatsink cleverly maximizes motherboard space, and improves airflow to bring M.2 SSD temperatures down for better stability and performance. MOS heatsink with L-shaped heatpipe. An L-shaped heatpipe allows for rapid and even heat transfer, while the MOS heatsink provides a large contact area for the MOSFETs and chokes. together with the metal shroud, it covers a third of ROG Strix Z490-I motherboard, giving you effective cooling within the confines of a cramped mini-ITX chassis. Predictive edge. The algorithm analyzes your CPU and cooling system and, based on what it finds, predicts optimal settings. The software then uses these settings to automatically guide the clocking process, balancing frequency and voltage. Power design. Digital power control and an array of power stages ensure ROG Strix Z490-I has the muscle to control advanced CPUs. ROG AI overclocking. ROG AI overclocking is an intelligent utility that helps you get the most out of your build by automatically profiling your CPU and cooling system to predict optimal voltage and frequency settings. Digi+ power control. The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) ensures ultra-smooth and clean power delivery to the CPU. All-round performance. ROG Strix Z490-I helps you get the most out of your gaming build with up-rated power delivery and optimized cooling. Intelligent controls lets you manage overclocking, cooling and networking settings easily, giving you everything you need to harness the full potential of your build for top-tier gaming performance. 8+2 power stages. ROG Strix Z490-I utilizes 8+2 power stages to combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering power and efficiency. Thermal pads. High-quality thermal pads transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink. ProCool II power connector. The ProCool II socket is built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines and have a metal armor for improved heat dissipation. The connectors lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.
