1. CPU socket The motherboard comes with a LGA1700 socket designed for 13th Gen Intel® Core™ & 12th Gen Intel® Core™, Pentium® Gold and Celeron® Processors. Chapter 1 1-4 • Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1700 socket. • The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU.
2. DIMM slots The motherboard comes with Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots designed for DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) memory modules. Chapter 1 A DDR5 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 memory module to the DDR5 slot.
Memory configurations You may install 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB unbuffered and non‑ECC DDR5 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. Chapter 1 You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
3. Expansion slots Chapter 1 Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.
4. Fan and Pump headers The Fan and Pump headers allow you to connect fans or pumps to cool the system. Chapter 1 • DO NOT forget to connect the fan cables to the fan headers. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan headers! • Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the header. For water cooling kits, connect the pump connector to the AIO_PUMP header.
5. Power connectors Chapter 1 These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply. The power supply plugs are designed to fit in only one orientation, find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted. Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug, or connect both 8-pin power plugs. • For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.
6. M.2 slot The M.2 slot allows you to install M.2 devices such as M.2 SSD modules. Chapter 1 • Intel® 13th & 12th Gen Processors: .2_1 supports PCIE 4.0 x4 mode M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / -M 22110 storage devices. • Intel® Z790 Chipset: - M.2_2 supports PCIE 4.0 x4 mode M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 storage devices. -M .2_3 supports PCIE 4.0 x4 mode M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110 storage devices. -M .2_4 supports PCIE 4.
7. SATA 6Gb/s port Chapter 1 The SATA 6Gb/s port allows you to connect SATA devices such as optical disc drives and hard disk drives via a SATA cable. If you installed SATA storage devices to the SATA6G_1-4 ports, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configuration with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel® Z790 chipset. Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide. You can download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 header The USB 3.2 Gen 1 header allows you to connect a USB 3.2 Gen 1 module for additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The USB 3.
10. USB 2.0 header Chapter 1 The USB 2.0 header allows you to connect a USB module for additional USB 2.0 ports. The USB 2.0 header provides data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s connection speed. DO NOT connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors. Doing so will damage the motherboard! The USB 2.0 module is purchased separately.
11. Addressable Gen2 header The Addressable Gen2 header allows you to connect individually addressable RGB WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips. Chapter 1 The Addressable Gen2 header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/ Data/Ground), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), and the addressable headers on this board can handle a combined maximum of 500 LEDs.
12. Aura RGB header Chapter 1 The Aura RGB header allows you to connect RGB LED strips. The Aura RGB header supports 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V). Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components. • Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
13. CPU Over Voltage jumper Chapter 1 The CPU Over Voltage jumper allows you to set a higher CPU voltage for a flexible overclocking system (depending on the type of the installed CPU). Set to pins 2-3 to increase the CPU voltage setting, or set to pins 1-2 to use the default CPU voltage setting. 14. Front Panel Audio header The Front Panel Audio header is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports HD Audio. Connect one end of the front panel audio I/O module cable to this header.
15. System Panel header Chapter 1 The System Panel header supports several chassis-mounted functions. • System Power LED header (PLED) The 2-pin and/or 3-1 pin headers allow you to connect the System Power LED. The System Power LED lights up when the system is connected to a power source, or when you turn on the system power, and blinks when the system is in sleep mode. • Storage Device Activity LED header (HDD_LED) The 2-pin header allows you to connect the Storage Device Activity LED.
16. Thermal Sensor header Chapter 1 The Thermal Sensor header allows you to connect a sensor to monitor the temperature of the devices and the critical components inside the motherboard. Connect the thermal sensor and place it on the device or the motherboard’s component to detect its temperature. The thermal sensor is purchased separately.
17. Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header Chapter 1 The Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) allows you to connect an add-on Thunderbolt™ I/O card that supports Intel®’s Thunderbolt™ Technology, allowing you to connect Thunderbolt™-enabled devices to form a daisy-chain configuration. • The add-on Thunderbolt™ I/O card and Thunderbolt™ cables are purchased separately. • Please visit the official website of your purchased Thunderbolt™ card for more details on compatibility.
18. Q-LEDs The Q-LEDs check key components (CPU, DRAM, VGA, and booting devices) during the motherboard booting process. If an error is found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up until the problem is solved. Chapter 1 The Q-LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error code as a starting point for troubleshooting. The actual cause may vary from case to case. 19. BIOS FlashBack™ LED The FlashBack™ LED lights up or blinks to indicate the status of the BIOS FlashBack™ LED.
20. 8-pin Power Plug LED Chapter 1 The 8-pin Power Plug LED lights up to indicate that the 8-pin power plug is not connected.
