AI OVERCLOCKING
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

What's New?
As the first foray of AI Overclocking on an AMD architecture, the set of parameters has changed substantially, but voltage and clock speeds are still the primary targets for adjustment. Every core has a recommended VID and frequency, with the latter based on a combination of ratio and Asynchronous BCLK tuning.

Predictive settings in the utility are designed to work in tandem with Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but they go one step further by enhancing the values for EDC, TDC, and PPT, as well as tuning the curve optimizer.

Finally, by enabling the Dynamic OC Switcher, AI Overclocking ensures that the CPU is using ideal settings whether in single- or multi-threaded workloads.

AI COOLING II
Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

Traffic Monitor
Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the "Channel Switch" button for improved network performance.

*The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor.

Fast Check
Armoury Crate's Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength.

GameFirst
GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various application customizable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest latency possible during intense game streamingcloud gaming sessions. To provide a better user's experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate.

 Performance MEMORY

• DDR5 DOMINATION Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 9 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-F.
• DIMM FIT DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues.
• AEMP III ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge  CUDIMM memory.  
• DIMM FLEX DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock their DDR5 memory modules.

DDR5 Strength
ROG has a rich history of delivering top-tier memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 9 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-F, with even greater speeds on the horizon. For experienced users, the UEFI offers a wide range of options to fine-tune and push performance to its limits.

DIMM FIT
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability.

Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

AEMP III
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.

*Results may vary according to individual system specifications. Currently, only 2-DIMM configurations are supported. Results are based on a test with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and 2x16GB SK Hynix DDR5-6400 Clocked Unbuffered DIMM RAM, model HMCG78AHBCA326N.

DIMM FLEX
DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock their DDR5 memory modules. It employs specialized circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings. When temperatures are nominal, it can use the extra headroom to increase speeds and efficiency. And when temperatures increase, it can adjust memory behavior downward to maintain stability.

WIFI 7
The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM . Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.

ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna
Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.

Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet
Onboard Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.

PCIE 5.0
The Strix Z890-F offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, and the topmost x16 expansion slot is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One onboard M.2 slot is rated for blistering read and write speeds up to 16 GB/s, while the remainder can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. And every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.  

• TWO THUNDERBOLT 4 TYPE-C PORTS - Each port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
• USB WATTAGE WATCHER - USB Wattage Watcher allows users to monitor the current wattage delivered to a device connected to the USB 10Gbps Type-C rear I/O port. With USB Wattage Watcher, users can glance at their device's charging wattage in real-time and check on their device's Fast-Charging status.

DOLBY ATMOS
ROG and Dolby have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.

SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z890-F implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

• AUDIO LINE SHIELDING
• SAVITECH SV3H712 AMPLIFIER
• ALC4080 CODEC
• AUDIO COVER
• PREMIUM AUDIO CAPACITORS
• A specially designed circuit separation reduces electromagnetic interference from the motherboard and attached devices for cleaner audio.
• The integrated Hi-Fi Savitech amplifier holds up its end of the signal path with imperceptible levels of distortion at -90dB THD+N and a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB for extremely clean output.
• Instead of the conventional high definition audio (HDA) interface, the ALC4080 codec uses a USB interface to deliver studio-level sound reaching up to 32-bit 384 kHz audio resolution.
• A metal cover protects against electromagnetic interference, preserving the integrity of audio signals to ensure the best sound quality.
• High-quality components produce a warmer, more natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
