Prime Z590-A
Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Prime Z590-A provides daily users and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features. It is expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core processors.
AI Cooling
ASUS AI Cooling function will automatically manage and control motherboard-connected fans to ensure optimal settings based on current system load and temperature. AI Cooling detects CPU temperatures and uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate the lowest fan speed required to effectively cool the system and keep fan noise down.
AI Overclocking
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. Accessible via the AI Suite software in Windows or directly through the UEFI, the intuitive AI Overclocking user interface enables users of all levels.
Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation
This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls.
Three M.2 Slots
Prime Z590-A offers a total of three M.2 slots, with one slot supporting data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCI Express 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
Thunderbolt 4 Support
Via an on-board header the board supports Thunderbolt 4. With ThunderboltEX 4 add-on card it can perform daisy-chain function up to an 8K resolution, 100 watts of power to fast-charge devices and 40 Gbps bi-directional data transfer.
PCIe 4.0 Slot
The board offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity for the latest GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.
ASUS OptiMem II
ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including both front and rear USB Type-C connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
M.2 Heatsink
Two M.2 heatsinks take care of the three M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The heatsinks are held in place by captive screws and can be moved.
