Gigabyte Z790 EAGLE AX Intel LGA1700 Motherboard

The Gigabyte Z790 EAGLE AX delivers robust performance for Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th generation processors in an ATX form factor. Built on the Intel Z790 chipset, this motherboard provides the foundation for high-performance computing with support for cutting-edge technologies.

DDR5 Memory and Storage Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 192GB of system memory with overclocking capabilities reaching 7600 MT/s and beyond. The dual-channel architecture with XMP 3.0 support ensures maximum memory bandwidth. Three M.2 sockets with PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity provide fast NVMe storage options, while M.2 Thermal Guards maintain optimal operating temperatures during intensive workloads.

Power Delivery and Thermal Management

The twin 12+1+1 phases digital VRM solution with low RDS(on) MOSFETs ensures stable power delivery to demanding processors. Enlarged MOSFET heatsinks dissipate heat effectively, maintaining system stability during extended operation. Smart Fan 6 technology features multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP capability, supporting up to 24W per header for PWM/DC fans and water cooling pumps.

Connectivity and Expansion

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with EZ-Latch quick release design accommodates the latest graphics cards, while additional PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 slots provide expansion flexibility. The rear I/O panel includes dual video outputs (DisplayPort and HDMI supporting 4K resolution), two USB-C ports with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, and a fitted I/O shield for convenient installation.

Network Performance

Intel WiFi 6E AX211 module delivers wireless speeds up to 2.4Gbps across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with Bluetooth 5.3 support. The Realtek 2.5GbE LAN controller provides wired network performance with speeds up to 2.5Gbps, reducing latency for online gaming and large file transfers.

Audio and User-Friendly Features

Realtek audio codec with high-end capacitors and Audio Noise Guard technology delivers clear 7.1-channel HD audio. Q-Flash Plus enables BIOS updates without installing CPU, memory, or graphics card—simply connect power, insert a USB drive with the BIOS file, and press the dedicated button. The GIGABYTE UC BIOS interface provides intuitive navigation with customizable Quick Access slots and PerfDrive performance optimization.
