Overview
Dressed in professional attire, the Prime Z390 series caters to daily users
and content creators with well-rounded specs and features. Combining the
benefits of the latest processors with essential ASUS design and engineering,
Prime Z390 provides a wealth of options for performance tuning via intuitive
software and firmware features.
Tune it your way
Prime Z390 simplifies CPU overclocking with software and extensive tweaking
options that give beginners and seasoned overclockers alike the tools to build
well-tuned machines. A new memory trace layout provides stability and
compatibility for both traditional DIMMs and RGB-infused memory, letting you
pair a broad choice of DRAM kits with your build.
EPU & Fan Xpert 4
All-round energy efficiency
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you'll enjoy system-wide power savings.
The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with
Away mode. — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by
shutting down unused I/O controllers.
Flexible cooling controls for air or liquid
With Prime Z390-P you have comprehensive control over fans via Fan Xpert 4 or
our media-acclaimed UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning
mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also
an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum
— keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.
UEFI BIOS
Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
The UEFI BIOS is an early waypoint on any PC-building journey, and Prime
Z390-P offers one of the best in the business.

Memory Enhancements
OptiMem II
Reimagined from the ground up
To provide Intel's latest processors' unfettered access to memory bandwidth,
we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II
tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce
vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to
further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations,
we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned
signaling.

Mem! OK II
Automated Recovery
Mem! OK II automatically fixes boot failures that arise due to memory
overclocking and instability. When a DRAM-related POST error occurs, the
motherboard adjusts memory parameters until the system is able to start.
Cool and Reliable
Prime Z390-P is designed for builders who want essential ASUS reliability and
performance. More CPU cores create power-delivery challenges, so Prime Z390-P
has extra power phases and comprehensive cooling features for optimal
performance.
Cooler by design
Prime Z390-P features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever,
configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
Multiple temperature sources
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and via Fan
Xpert 4 you can even map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to
optimize cooling for GPU and CPU-intensive tasks.
AIO pump
A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.
4-pin PWM/DC fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature
and over-current.
Enhanced power delivery
Prime Z390-P adjusts power delivery based on the number of power phases,
optimizing power and efficiency for the latest Intel processors.
ProCool power connector
Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight
specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. This lowers
impedance, which helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.
Built to Last
ASUS motherboards are exhaustively tested for compatibility with more than
1,000 components and devices, and each new model undergoes a minimum of 8,000
hours of strict validation — offering the peace of mind of knowing that your
ASUS motherboard is fit for all environments and applications.
