About the TUF Z790-BTF WIFI
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.
EASY PC DIY
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.
BTF DESIGN | Optimized Cable Management
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.
Advanced BTF Design
With the combination of a BTF graphics card, motherboard, and chassis, you can enjoy a full hidden-connector experience. This Advanced BTF approach is achieved through graphics cards compatible with the new graphics card high-power slot to deliver up to 600 watts through this motherboard. With a set of compatible BTF components, builders can eliminate the need for visible cables for a clean and organized Advanced BTF look.
TUF PROTECTION | SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Because PCIe 5.0 is two times faster than PCIe 4.0, ASUS enhanced SMT manufacturing processes for the faster SafeSlot?all to ensure users get the highest-possible data speeds. In addition, the ASUS SafeDIMM sheath is added to support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering you to insert modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.
ESD Guards
ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge - greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV. Surface-mounted TVS diodes in a dual in-line package help protect your PC from voltage spikes.

Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression
TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.
Stainless Steel Back I/O Panel
TUF GAMING motherboards have a corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a lifespan that's three times longer than traditional panels. With this protective feature, TUF GAMING motherboards passed 72-hour salt fog testing, while other brands only passed 24-hour testing.
EASY CONFIGURATION | PCIe Q-Release
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade to a new graphics card or other compatible device.
