Description

Built on the Intel Z790 chipset, the Gigabyte Z790 EAGLE AX motherboard supports Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th generation Core processors. It features a 12+1+1 phase digital VRM design with low RDS(on) MOSFETs, ensuring stable power delivery for demanding applications. The motherboard supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with four DIMM slots, allowing for speeds up to 7600MHz (OC) and a maximum capacity of 192GB. For storage, the Z790 EAGLE AX includes three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots and four SATA 6Gb/s ports, providing ample options for high-speed storage devices. The board also offers advanced thermal solutions, including enlarged MOSFET heatsinks and M.2 Thermal Guards, to prevent throttling and ensure optimal performance. Connectivity is enhanced with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) for fast wireless speeds, 2.5GbE LAN for wired connections, and multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C®. The rear I/O includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and multiple USB ports, catering to various display and peripheral needs. Additional features include Smart Fan 6 technology with multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers, RGB Fusion support with addressable and 12V RGB headers, and Q-Flash Plus for BIOS updates without the need for a CPU, memory, or graphics card.
