PRIME

ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 10th and 11th Generation Intel^® Core™ processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Prime Z590-P provides daily users and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.

Tune It Your Way

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The Prime Z590 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work, to maximize productivity.

• Flexible Air- and Liquid-Cooling Controls
  ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) cooler. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans and AiO cooler can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

• Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers
  An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.

Cool to the Core

Prime Z590 series 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. The heatsink is held in place by captive screws and can be moved to other M.2 slot.

• VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads
  Two massive VRM heatsinks and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

• Cooler by Design
  Prime Z590 series features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Build on a Solid Foundation

Prime Z590 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 11th Generation Intel^® Core™ processors. ASUS Z590 motherboards provide all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

• Robust Power Design
  Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of 11th Generation Intel^® Core™ processors. Prime Z590-P is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core count CPUs.

• ASUS OptiMem II
  Revisions to the motherboard’s trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

• Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)
  Prime Z590-P offers a total of three M.2 slots, with one slot supporting data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCI Express^® 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

• PCIe^® 4.0 Slot
  ASUS Z590 motherboards are designed specifically for 11th Generation Intel^® Core™ CPUs and offer PCIe® 4.0 connectivity for the latest GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.

• USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C^®
  Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including one rear USB Type-C^® connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

• Thunderbolt™ 4 header Support
  Prime Z590-P features Thunderbolt™ 4 support via an on-board header. With the latest Intel-certified ASUS TunderboltEX 4 add-on card, it can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to an 8K resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 watts of power to fast-charge devices.

• Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet
  Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

Small Details Make a Big Difference

Prime Z590 series adds the nuanced details that improve every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely personal look.

• Audio Shielding
  Separates analog/digital signal domains, significantly reducing multi-lateral interference.

• Separate Layer for Left and Right Tracks
  Ensures minimal crosstalk between audio paths.

• Premium Japanese Capacitors
  Premium parts provide an immersive sound signature, with exceptional fidelity.

• Aura Sync
  A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the strips connected to the onboard RGB headers — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

• Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header
  Two addressable Gen 2 RGB headers are capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

• Armoury Crate
  Armoury Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate allows you to easily customize RGB lighting and effects for every compatible device in your arsenal. The software also provides control of settings for an ever-growing number of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate even features dedicated product registration and news to help you stay in touch with the ASUS community.
