What we like about ASUS Prime Z590 P

  • High-speed 2.5 Gb Ethernet and fast Wi-Fi 6 connectivity
  • Excellent value for a Z590 chipset board supporting 11th Gen Intel CPUs
  • Clean, elegant aesthetic with customizable RGB and Aura Sync support
  • Robust cooling design featuring beefy VRM heatsinks and comprehensive fan controls
  • User-friendly UEFI BIOS with intuitive tuning options for beginners and enthusiasts
  • Integrated I/O shield makes installation easier and safer for fingers

What we don't like about ASUS Prime Z590 P

  • First M.2 slot is disabled if used with a 10th Gen Intel processor (requires 11th Gen for PCIe 4.0)
  • Non-standard ATX width (9.2 inches) leaves the right edge unsupported by case standoffs
  • RAM slots are positioned very close to the CPU socket, causing clearance issues with large air coolers
  • Lack of an optical audio (S/PDIF) port on the rear I/O
  • No built-in LAN support during initial Windows 10/11 setup, requiring manual driver loading via USB
  • Sharp edges on some board components can be a hazard during installation

Verdict

The ASUS Prime Z590-P is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z590 chipset, supporting 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core processors via the LGA 1200 socket. Key specifications include PCIe 4.0 support, three M.2 slots (one with a dedicated heatsink), 2.5 Gb Ethernet, and a rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port offering 20 Gbps speeds. Main pros include a robust 10+1 DrMOS power stage design for stable delivery, comprehensive cooling with large VRM heatsinks, and Thunderbolt 4 header support for high-speed expansion. However, notable cons include its more basic Realtek 2.5Gb LAN compared to the Intel controllers found on higher-tier models, only four SATA ports, and reports of higher VRM operating temperatures when paired with high-end overclocked CPUs.
