Z590 WIFI GUNDAM EDITION

Decked out in the heroic white livery worn by the RX-78-2 of the Mobile Suit GUNDAM anime series, ASUS Z590 WIFI GUNDAM EDITION is a special-edition motherboard that propels the latest Intel® platform to new heights with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with the precision one expects from the Earth Federation Space Force and employing top-grade components as well as an upgraded power solution and comprehensive cooling options, this motherboard delivers rock-solid performance with unwavering stability.

The extensive surface area of the large, high-mass heatsink covers the VRM and choke to improve heat dissipation. The total surface area of the VRM heatsink is 1.6X that of the previous generation.

High-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

Each M.2 slot has a dedicated heatsink keep the M.2 SSDs at optimum operating temperature to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

The embedded Intel® WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks. Pair your GUNDAM motherboard with any ASUS WiFi 6 router and experience a new level of connection
