ASUS today announced 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.
New ways to beat the heat
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 behavior, 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 the 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. DDR5 support ensures that a CPU has plenty of bandwidth—perfect for the latest chips decked out with a fleet of cores and threads. Both motherboards boast a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot ready for the best graphics cards of today and tomorrow.
New H770 boards deliver high-end features at midrange prices
The new TUF Gaming H770-Pro WiFi and Prime H770-Plus D4 provide a plentiful supply of PCIe lanes — comparable to what users get in a Z790 motherboard, for those who do not need overclocking to build a rig that meets their needs.
The TUF Gaming H770-Pro WiFi boasts the horsepower and reliable performance needed for gaming rigs. It offers a high-bandwidth PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a next-gen graphics card, four onboard M.2 slots, and a bevy of USB ports. Seamless networking comes courtesy of an Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and WiFi 6 connectivity. And ASUS wraps it all up in the signature rugged TUF Gaming aesthetic.
DDR5 is the latest generation of memory, and it offers significant advantages to users of all kinds. But for users tempted by the affordable price tags of DDR4 memory, ASUS offers the Prime H770-Plus D4. With its plentiful PCIe x16 slots and M.2 slots, this motherboard is ready for an array of expansion cards and storage drives.
B760 boards bring Intel 13th Gen horsepower to builders everywhere
The ASUS B-series motherboards are all about value. As the most affordable lineup of the ASUS 700-series, these motherboards cater to a wide range of people―such as builders on a budget, people who intend to purchase non-overclockable CPUs, users with more modest performance needs, or anyone who just wants to assemble a reliable, long-lasting PC that does not break the bank.
While ASUS B760 motherboards do not quite go toe-to-toe with the brawny headliners in the cutting-edge ROG Maximus Z790 family, they are feature-rich, high-performance platforms in their own right. Time and again, the ASUS B760 lineup continues to surprise users with features that used to only appear in flagship models. Whether users are looking for a gaming board from the ROG Strix or TUF Gaming families, a creator-focused ProArt model, or an all-around excellent ASUS Prime motherboard, they will find incredible value in the B760 lineup.
