Using the 8-Channel Realtek S1220A HD audio codec, the Prime Z390-A can support audio with higher fidelity than standard controllers. Audio can also be output using the integrated five 3.5mm audio outputs or S/PDIF output. This motherboard is also equipped with features such as AI overclocking, OptiMemII, and M.2 heatsink, support for Intel Optane memory and a Thunderbolt 3 header, a TurboV Processing Unit (TPU), an Energy Processing Unit (EPU), Fan Xpert 4, Digi+ Power Control, Aura Sync, Crystal Sound 3, and more. Included is an ASUS Q-Shield, three SATA III 6 Gb/s cables, an M.2 screw package, an SLI HB Bridge (2-Way-M), a Q-connector, and a CPU fan holder. This motherboard is protected by a limited 3-year warranty.
