GIGABYTE Z790 Gaming X AX motherboard

SKU CH-Y9EF-0PQDH

ATX motherboard for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors with DDR5, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E

  • Supports 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR5 memory with four DIMM slots for high-speed capacity
  • 16+2+1 phase digital VRM delivers stable power for demanding workloads
  • Comprehensive heatsinks on MOSFETs and M.2 slots keep thermals in check
  • PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and NVMe M.2 enable next-gen connectivity

Intel LGA 1700 ATX motherboard

The GIGABYTE Z790 Gaming X AX is a full-size ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z790 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It supports 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors and runs dual-channel DDR5 memory across four DIMM slots. A 16+2+1 phase digital VRM and fully covered MOSFET heatsinks handle power delivery and thermals for demanding workloads.

For DDR5 builders with high-end CPUs

This board suits builders pairing a 13th or 12th Gen Intel Core processor with DDR5 memory who need PCIe 5.0 graphics support, multiple NVMe M.2 slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, 2.5GbE LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 6E. It is not for buyers whose CPU or memory kit requires a different socket or memory generation, nor for builds that must fit a smaller chassis than ATX allows.

16+2+1 phase digital VRM

The 16+2+1 phase digital VRM solution is the specification that determines whether this board can sustain heavy, sustained loads from unlocked 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core processors. If the planned CPU and overclocking targets demand that level of power delivery, this motherboard meets the requirement; if the build uses a lower-power locked processor, a board with fewer phases may be sufficient.

Questions about this item

What CPU cooler mounting holes does the LGA 1700 socket use?

The socket follows the standard LGA 1700 pattern, so any cooler rated for that socket will line up with the four mounting holes around the processor.

Which BIOS update method avoids installing a CPU, memory and GPU?

Q-Flash Plus lets you flash the BIOS from a USB drive while the board is on standby power, no processor or other components required.

How are the M.2 drives kept cool under load?

Each M.2 slot is covered by a dedicated Thermal Guard heatsink that attaches directly over the drive to dissipate heat.
