ASUS ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming ATX Motherboard

SOLID HARDWARE SPECS FOR GAMING AND MOREROG Strix Z390-H Gaming revitalizes the classic ROG red-and-black color scheme, adding a futuristic cyber-text pattern for a stunning modern style. It's loaded with essentials, including the latest connectivity plus intuitive ROG software optimization. All this and more makes ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming the perfect choice for all types of gamers and any level of ambition. With comprehensive cooling options and upgraded power delivery to fuel CPUs with more cores, plus support for faster memory and storage, ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming provides all the essentials you need to harness the full potential of components in your build for top-tier gaming performance.

Please note: This motherboard supports Socket 1151 for 9th Gen and 8th Gen Intel® Core™, Pentium® Gold and Celeron® processors, with integrated graphics, memory and PCI Express controllers to support onboard graphics output with dedicated chipsets, dual-channel (4-DIMM) DDR4 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes for great performance.

HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTSDigital power control together with an efficient thermal solution ensure ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming has the muscle to control Intel's latest CPUs. The Strix Z390-H Gaming uses high-quality thermal pads to help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to a heatsink that has ample surface area to deal with the power demands of all Coffee Lake processors. Superior parts have been used when manufacturing the ROG STRIX boards to resist extreme temperatures and provide up to 110% better performance than the industry standard.

FASTER AND UNDISTORTED CURRENT DELIVERYROG Strix Z390 Gaming series features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers for CPU coolers are easy to access on the top right of the CPU Socket whilst a dedicated AIO header can be found for self contained water-cooling setups. Every onboard header even supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

INTEGRATED OPTIMEM II TECHNOLOGYROG Strix Z390-H Gaming features dual M.2 slots. One slot supports both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 modes, and the other slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe. Together, they give you the fastest and most-flexible M.2 interface available. To provide Intel's latest CPUs unfettered access to memory bandwidth, motherboard trace routing has been reimagined with the ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming. Integrated OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across PCB layers to reduce vias, and it also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. To further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, a highly customized T-Topology layout delivers time-aligned signaling.

ASUS LANGUARDROG Strix Z390-H Gaming features Intel Ethernet (I219-V), ensuring data exchanges with your network and the outside world are fast and smooth. Intel LAN reduces CPU overhead and increases TCP and UDP throughput, keeping more processing power. Featuring advanced signal-coupling technology and high-tolerance components, LANGuard provides consistent Ethernet performance and greater protection against static electricity and power surges.

SONIC STUDIO III PROVIDES CRYSTAL QUALITY SOUNDSImmerse yourself in sound with SupremeFX audio technology. Utilizing the S1220A codec, SupremeFX is the integrated-audio solution that's engineered to provide a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature. And to ensure that pristine signature is perfectly preserved, the front-panel output is driven with dual op amps, delivering sonics with the scale and authority to create virtual worlds via your gaming headset. Sonic Studio supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.

EFFORTLESS SYNCHRONIZATION WITH ALL YOUR COMPONENTSThe ASUS Aura ecosystem is in the ascendancy, with an extensive and growing list of ASUS products now offering Aura Sync compatibility — along with loads of compatible accessories and kits available through partners.
