ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula motherboard leaks

During last month’s illustrious “Intel Innovation” summit, Intel unveiled its 14th generation Core processors, colloquially known as the Raptor Lake Refresh. As the advent of these 14th-generation Core processors looms on the horizon, numerous motherboard manufacturers have commenced the introduction of their latest Z790 motherboards to impeccably accommodate these novel processors.

Earlier, ASUS heralded the launch of several new Z790 motherboards, including the distinguished ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero, ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II, and TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi.

Recently, whispers among digital denizens suggest that ASUS is poised to unveil yet another masterpiece, the “ROG Maximus Z790 Formula,” showcasing its exquisite design.

Indeed, as early as 2022, ASUS had alluded to the “Formula” model, yet it remained an elusive specter, awaiting the arrival of the 14th generation Core processors. The ROG Maximus Z790 Formula is adorned with a juxtaposition of monochromatic hues, conforming to the E-ATX specifications. A unique feature embellishing the motherboard is the “ROG Water-Cooling Zone”, permitting aficionados to directly integrate water-cooling circuits for superior thermal management of power modules.

This avant-garde motherboard is shrouded with expansive heat-dissipating armors, fortified with four DDR5 memory slots, a pair of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, and elevating its wireless capabilities to the Wi-Fi 7 standard. While it’s understood that ASUS remains engrossed in rigorous testing, they are unlikely to keep enthusiasts in prolonged anticipation. Given Intel’s strategic debut of its initial 14th generation Core processors scheduled for October 17th, it stands to reason that ASUS will unveil news regarding the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula around a similar timeframe.
