DIY Design
Whether you are a seasoned builder or brand new, the TUF GAMING Z590 is easy to configure and provides additional safety measures. SafeSlot enhances PCIe slots with fortifying metal for stronger retention and shearing resistance. ESD guards prevent damage caused from electrostatic discharge, while DRAM overvoltage protection and TUF LANGuard provide system stability through resettable fuses and signal-coupling technology. The stainless-steel back I/O panel resists corrosion, prolonging the lifespan up to three-times longer than traditional motherboards.
Thermal Design
A large VRM heatsink and dual thermal pads keep your onboard components cool during intense gaming sessions. The high-mass heatsink covers the VRM and choke to improve heat dissipation while thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array. These systems work cohesively to keep your power management components and M.2 storage drives safe from damage caused by heat build-up. Additionally, comprehensive fan controls are built right into the TUF GAMING Z590, allowing you to equip your rig with fan- or liquid-cooling thermal systems which can be adjusted within the Fan Xpert 4 program or UEFI BIOS settings.
PCIe 4.0 Performance
By harnessing the power of Intel Core 11th Gen processors, you can unlock enhanced speeds for your memory, storage, and expansion slots. M.2 NVMe SSD RAID support gives you the ability to adjust the operation of your storage drives. OptiMem II carefully maps memory signal pathways and reduces crosstalk, allowing you to overclock your memory with ease. Experience faster performance of your graphics and utility cards with PCIe 4.0 expansion slots for increased system performance.
