TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI
TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest Intel® processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. “BTF” means “Back To (the) Future” for a new era for all PC DIY gamers; the advanced BTF series not only hides all its connectors on the underside of the motherboard, but it also delivers up to 600 watts for BTF graphics cards through a graphics card high-power slot, for clean cable management and a minimalist build appearance.
The TUF GAMING BTF lineup allows easy cable management and setup for builders of all levels. The ASUS BTF Alliance ecosystem confirms compatibility, while Armoury Crate displays hardware information and makes it easy to adjust Fan Xpert 4, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, RGB options and peripheral settings. This platform has intuitive tools to build and optimize dream rigs.
The hidden-connector design can be ideal for a first-time builder, because it allows easier cable management and also enhances a build’s appearance by presenting neat and clean internals.
TUF GAMING Z790 motherboards provide a feature-packed high-performance gaming package, with ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay, pristine audio with positional cues for FPS Gaming, and onboard RGB lighting that syncs with attached gear to personalize your gaming atmosphere.
