Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX Overview

Get your next gaming rig up and running with the GIGABYTE Z790 GAMING X AX LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard. Designed to give new and seasoned builders the ability to install resource-demanding components while offering a unique and customizable aesthetic, the GAMING X lays a proper foundation for your next build.

Equipped with Intel's LGA 1700 socket and Z790 chipset, you can leverage a wide range of Core, Celeron, and Pentium processors, enhancing performance and responsiveness. Four dual-channel DDR5 RAM slots enable you to install up to 192GB of memory to enhance multitasking and rendering speeds. Install an array of storage drives for your media assets with six SATA III and four M.2 PCIe interfaces. The GAMING X also has one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16 (in x4 mode), and one PCIe 3.0 x16 (in x4 mode) expansion slot so you can equip your system with various graphics and utility cards. Connect your low-powered peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and controllers to the GAMING X with USB-A 2.0 ports while USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports are reserved for resource-demanding devices such as external drives, audio interfaces, and more. You can also use Bluetooth 5.3 technology to support wireless devices for a true cable-free experience. Quickly access online assets with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) technology for wireless connectivity or use the wired 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for a strong and reliable connection.

Performance
Twin Digital VRM design leverages 16 VCORE phases and 60A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors as well as extreme overclocking. An M.2 PCIe 5.0 storage interface enables up to 16 GB/s data transfer speeds, getting your games running even faster. DDR5 XMP overclocking boosts RAM up to 7600 MHz for enhanced multitasking and rendering performance. PerfDrive technology integrates multiple GIGABYTE exclusive BIOS settings to allow users to find a balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs easily when using 13th gen Intel Core processors.
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the GAMING X's fully covered MOSFET heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard, 6mm heatpipe, 5 W/mK Thermal Pad, and 6-layer 2x copper PCB work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. The Smart Fan 6 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.
Front Panel USB-C Connector
USB 3.2 Gen 2 has a throughput up to 10 Gb/s for fast data transfers while connected to USB 3.2 Gen 2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Personalization & Customization
With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room. UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile according to your needs. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode.
Ultra Durable
Sporting an easy DIY design, the GAMING X provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. PCIe EZ-Latch provides quick access to your M.2 storage drives and Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor.
