Product overview

Asus launched the ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi in late 2022 alongside Intel’s 13th‑Gen “Raptor Lake” on the Z790 platform; it’s a Mini‑ITX ROG Strix board for LGA1700 and supports 12th/13th/14th‑Gen CPUs.

Positioned as a high‑end Z790 ITX board, it exists to cram flagship connectivity into small‑form‑factor builds: PCIe 5.0 x16, a Gen5 M.2 plus a Gen4 M.2, dual Thunderbolt 4, Wi‑Fi 6E, and 2.5GbE. With two DDR5 slots rated up to 7600 OC and unlocked overclocking, it suits premium SFF gaming or creator rigs that still want multi‑M.2 storage and fast external I/O. Unique: it includes the ROG Strix Hive desktop module for audio, AI OC, BIOS FlashBack, and extra USB.
