All-Around Energy Efficiency The Power Saving function contains several settings can easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.  COOLING PRIME Z790-P-CSM motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.  M.2 Heatsink An M.2 heatsink takes care of the two M.2 slots, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers.  VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads The extensive surface area of the massive heatsinks cover the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation. Together with specially engineered thermal pads, they improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.  PERFORMANCE The PRIME Z790-P-CSM motherboard is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors. ASUS Z790 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.  Robust Power Design Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel processors. The PRIME Z790-P-CSM is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.  ProCool Connectors Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 4 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.  Outstanding Audio Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.  Audio Shielding Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.  Dedicated Audio PCB Layers Separate layers for left and right tracks ensures both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.  Premium Audio Capacitors Provides warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
