So why am i seeing ASUS site saying this is a DDR4 board but all the websites say its DDR5?

There is 2 versions of this board with both DDR4 and DDR5 variants. The one that uses DDR4 will have a �D4" included at the end of the name.

Will this MOBO be good for a 4070ti and Intel i7-13700k pairing? Mainly worried about size of GPU and if this card will be large enough. Can anyone confirm this board id indeed come with lga1700 bracket?

I have a RTX4080 and in Intel i7-13900K on mine and it works just fine. It is an LGA1700 socket.

Does this board support ddr4 ram as well as ddr5?

The motherboard supports DDR5 memory only.

Does the MB ASUS|TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R come with WiFi 6?

The board features WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and also supports WiFi 6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax), meaning it can utilize 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and, where supported, 6 GHz wireless bands. This ensures compatibility with WiFi 6 devices and networks. Additional Connectivity Features Includes Bluetooth 5.3 and an Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet LAN. The WiFi module is designed for high performance and gaming environments. So, the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R definitely provides WiFi 6 support, and is fully compatible with both WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E networks

Is there a q flash button on this motherboard?

The ASUS Z790-PLUS WIFI MB does NOT have a Q-Flash button neither on the I/O panel nor the motherboard itself. It has ASUS Easy Flash 3 and ASUS crash Free BIOS 3 both of which must be accessed within the bios itself. There is a Clear CMOS terminal on the motherboard at the bottom, but seems like a backwards/old technology for a "latest design MB. With this MB you'll just have to D/L the latest bios on to a USB drive and use any USB port to update the BIOS.

Does this board require an intel processor with integrated graphics?

No, integrated graphics are not needed on the Intel CPU. I'm going to use this MB with 13900KF and the ASUS site says they are compatible. Hope the ASUS site is correct!

This board has four SATA connectors. I would like to use two for a RAID 1, and the other two for SATA Drives. Is this possible? It is not real clear in the RAID configuration guide.

Yes, it is possible to use two SATA connectors for RAID 1 and the other two for SATA drives. The motherboard supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology which allows for configurations such as RAID 0/1/5/10 using the SATA ports.

will it support 14th gen?

You will need the bios to updated to at least 1205 if it doesnt ship with that bios installed. Which unfortunately if it has an earlier bios you will either have to find somewhere a cpu that is supported by the bios or ship it back to Asus as a repair for them to update the bios and send it back to you. I found this out after purchasing the i9 14900KF and the board already and luckily have a friend willing to loan me his CPU to get it updated if required. I was told by Asus support that the bios should be printed on the PCIe slots so you can see what version it is without booting into the computer.

Does this board boot to UEFI shell? if it does is the shell EDKII?

Yes, the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R motherboard does boot to a UEFI shell, as it features a UEFI AMI BIOS.

Manufacturer Contact Info

The ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi is an ATX motherboard for Intel LGA 1700 processors, suited to gaming PCs built around 12th, 13th, or 14th Gen Intel Core CPUs, DDR5 memory, and a PCIe 5.0 graphics card.

Recommended For

Desktop gamers building around a compatible 12th-, 13th-, or 14th-gen Intel processor who want a Z790 platform for a discrete graphics card, DDR5 memory, and Wi-Fi or wired networking without adding separate network cards.
PC builders planning a multi-drive game or work library who want up to four M.2 SSDs and four SATA drives on one ATX motherboard; the reviewed system also ran with an Intel Core i9-14900K and DDR5-6000 memory.
DIY builders who regularly swap graphics cards or install storage themselves: the board includes a PCIe slot release and tool-free M.2 latches, which can make hands-on assembly and component changes easier.
Owners of a compatible LGA 1700 system upgrading or replacing a motherboard who want to keep using supported 12th-, 13th-, or 14th-gen Intel CPUs and DDR5 memory; check CPU support and BIOS requirements before installing a 14th-gen chip.

Real-World Use Scenarios

Building an Intel-based gaming PC: pair the board with a supported 12th-, 13th-, or 14th-gen processor, a graphics card, and DDR5 memory; it provides the core connections for a gaming-focused desktop. Check whether a BIOS update is needed for your processor.
Setting up a PC with several internal drives: use multiple M.2 SSDs for an OS, games, and project files, with SATA connections available for additional storage. This can keep storage inside the case without relying on external drives.
Building a desktop for gaming alongside CPU-heavy tasks such as rendering or benchmarking: the board supports compatible high-end Intel processors, and a product-specific review tested it with a Core i9-14900K across gaming and CPU benchmarks. Actual performance depends on the processor, cooling, memory, and other components.
Placing a desktop where running Ethernet is inconvenient: connect over Wi-Fi, or use the wired network port when available. The board’s wireless and wired networking options let builders choose based on their home setup.
Assembling or upgrading a desktop at home: the pre-mounted I/O shield, M.2 latches, and graphics-card release feature can make common installation or component-swap steps easier. Confirm the processor and memory are supported before buying or upgrading.
