ASRock Z790 PG Riptide Intel LGA1700 ATX Motherboard

The ASRock Z790 PG Riptide delivers robust performance for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. Built on the Intel Z790 chipset, this ATX motherboard combines PCIe Gen5 support, DDR5 memory technology, and extensive connectivity options for gaming and productivity builds.

DDR5 Memory and Processing Power

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128GB of memory with speeds reaching 6800MHz (OC) through Intel XMP 3.0. The 14+1+1 power phase design with 50A Dr.MOS ensures stable power delivery to your processor, supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0, Thermal Velocity Boost, and Adaptive Boost Technology for maximum performance.

PCIe Gen5 Expansion and Storage

The motherboard features one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics cards and a Blazing M.2 socket supporting PCIe Gen5x4 (128 Gb/s) for next-generation NVMe storage. Four additional Hyper M.2 sockets provide PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) connectivity, while eight SATA3 ports offer traditional storage options. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations are supported across both SATA and M.2 NVMe devices.

Connectivity and Networking

Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit LAN provides low-latency network performance with Killer LAN software optimization. USB connectivity includes USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C (20 Gb/s) front header support, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, and multiple USB 3.2 Gen1 ports including ASRock Lightning Gaming Ports for reduced latency. The integrated I/O shield includes DisplayPort 1.4 (8K 60Hz support) and HDMI 2.1 outputs for Intel Xe Graphics.

Audio and Cooling

Realtek ALC897 audio codec with Nahimic Audio delivers 7.1 channel HD audio. Seven fan connectors with Smart Fan Speed Control support both air and water cooling configurations, including dedicated CPU/Water Pump headers. Three addressable LED headers and one RGB LED header enable lighting customization through ASRock Polychrome SYNC.

BIOS and Software Features

The 128Mb AMI UEFI BIOS includes ASRock's Full HD interface with EZ Mode for simplified configuration. ASRock Auto Driver Installer and Post Status Checker streamline setup and troubleshooting. The motherboard supports Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and includes FCC and CE certifications with ErP/EuP ready compliance.
