Product overview

Released on October 16, 2023, the ROG Strix Z790‑F Gaming WiFi II is ASUS’s Z790 refresh for Intel’s LGA1700 platform, supporting 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core processors. Positioned in the high_end tier of Intel Z‑series, it exists to deliver full overclocking support with modern I/O such as a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, Wi‑Fi 7, and abundant USB including a 20Gbps front USB‑C header with up to 30 W PD.

Its ATX layout offers four DDR5 DIMMs (up to 192 GB, 8000+ OC) and five M.2 slots—four PCIe 4.0 x4 plus one PCIe 4.0 x4/SATA—making it well‑suited to expansion/multi‑M.2 builds, high‑speed memory kits, and K‑series overclocks backed by a 16+1+2 90 A VRM. Notable: Wi‑Fi 7 with ASUS Q‑Antenna and Q‑Design touches (PCIe Q‑Release, Q‑DIMM). Not discontinued as of October 2026.
