5-Way Optimization

ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. One click takes care of complex tuning, dynamically optimizing essential aspects of the system to provide overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig.

Make your memory go faster

ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing memory traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and the T-Topology layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements lead to more headroom for overclocking and improved stability, allowing memory speeds of DDR4-4000 and beyond with all slots populated.

OC design – ASUS Pro Clock Technology

Prime Z370-A includes a dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control, providing the flexibility to extract every ounce of performance from the Intel processors.

ASUS Fan Holder

With the ASUS Fan Holder increasing airflow your Prime Z370 Series motherboard’s VRM area is simple. Just screw on a 40/50 mm fan, mount the bracket on the heatsink, and hook the fan up to a header for a targeted cooling boost. With the Fan Holder and fan in place, VRM temperatures are reduced – perfect for your overclocking adventures.

Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS

The smooth, slick mouse-controllable graphical BIOS has been improved to make it even more appealing. Whether you’re a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, EZ and Advanced modes will help you quickly find your way, quickly and easily.

Speed up with onboard M.2 up to 32 Gbps

With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32 Gbps data-transfer speeds. It’s the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.

M.2 heatsink

Prime Z370-A has an ultra-efficient heatsink to reduce M.2 SSD temperatures by up to 20°C – and that means optimal storage performance and improved SSD longevity.

3D-printable M.2 fan mount

ASUS Prime Z370-A features dedicated mounting points for the ASUS 3D-printable M.2 cooler. Supporting a 40 mm fan, the M.2 cooler teams up with the onboard M.2 heatsink to reduce drive temperatures by up to 25°C, ensuring your high-performance SSD always delivers peak performance.

Intel Optane memory

Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by Prime Z370-A. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive.

Ultimate-speed 10 Gbps with USB 3.1 Gen 2 onboard

With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, you’ll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

ThunderboltEX 3 card

Prime Z370-A provides full support for a ThunderboltEX 3 card. A Thunderbolt 3 add-on card enables breathtaking bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps through a single cable – up to 4X faster than other PC data-transfer protocols. Beyond sheer bandwidth, Thunderbolt 3 supports daisy-chaining up to six devices, utilizes a Type-C reversible connector for compatibility with the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C devices, and meets USB Power Delivery specifications for fast, high-power charging.

Intel Ethernet

Prime Z370-A features the advanced Intel Ethernet. Intel’s LAN has the advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

SafeSlot – protect your graphics card investment

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using an insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.
