ASUS has announced the launch of numerous new motherboards for Intel 12th Gen and 13th Gen processors. In 2022, ASUS launched a cutting-edge Z790 motherboard platform. Built to handle the most potent 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs, these boards serve the needs of PC enthusiasts, extreme overclockers, demanding gamers and professional creators alike. Today, ASUS is expanding the motherboard family with new Z790 models and several more options that feature the H770 and B760 chipsets. These bring the latest Intel chips to a wider audience than ever before. At the high end, ASUS is taking the wraps off the new ROG Strix and ASUS Prime Z790 motherboards, and it is also helping everyday builders move beyond boundaries with a wide selection of H770 and B760 motherboards from the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, ProArt and Prime product families.
Alongside new motherboard options, ASUS is also debuting a BIOS feature that gives users an easy way to unleash the power of their new 13th Gen Intel CPU while putting a lid on temperatures. Users of last-gen ASUS boards might be familiar with the ASUS MultiCore Enhancement and ASUS Performance Enhancement features. These BIOS options allowed users with exceptional cooling systems to let their CPU boost beyond stock settings. Now, ASUS is adding a new option to both menus.
As with the existing modes, the new options remove the limits holding back CPU boosting behaviour, but they also impose a CPU temperature limit of 90°C. This gives users outstanding multicore performance, but with restrained thermals. Even with the temperature restriction, ASUS MultiCore Enhancement and ASUS Performance Enhancement remain powerful tools for increasing performance. ASUS engineers tested these two MultiCore Enhancement settings with an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU, and they observed that the new setting can reduce CPU temperatures by a full 10°C while offering broadly similar performance. The new mode results in only a 2.8% performance drop compared to the earlier version while offering a significant cooling benefit.
This new ASUS MultiCore Enhancement option will be available to users of all overclocking-ready ASUS Z790 motherboards, and the similar ASUS Performance Enhancement option will debut in ASUS H770 and B760 motherboards. Existing owners will be able to access the new feature through a BIOS update.
Z790 motherboards hardened for battle
For enthusiasts hunting a beastly, overclocking-ready motherboard, new ASUS Z790 motherboards stand ready. These high-end boards help users build the best home for their overclockable K-series CPU. As the premier options in the ASUS family of Intel motherboards, they are loaded with luxuries for discerning builders. Whether building a no-holds-barred gaming rig, a high-powered content creation PC or an all-around PC ready for any workload, there is an ASUS Z790 motherboard solution on offer. Two new ROG Strix Z790 motherboards are ready to handle any battleground: the ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi and ROG Strix Z790-H Gaming WiFi.
