Overview
The Gigabyte Z790 D DDR4 is an ATX form factor motherboard built on Intel's Z790 Express Chipset, designed to support both 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors via the LGA1700 socket. It offers a capable and well-rounded feature set for desktop PC builders who want a platform that is ready for current-generation storage and connectivity standards without moving to DDR5 memory. For memory, the board features four DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration supporting up to 128 GB of system RAM (32 GB per slot). Speeds range from a standard 2133 MHz up to 5333 MHz with XMP overclocking, covering a wide range of kit options. ECC Un-buffered memory is acknowledged but operates in non-ECC mode. Expansion is handled by a CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 x16 primary slot, delivering the full bandwidth of the latest interface generation. Additional slots from the chipset include a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. AMD CrossFire multi-GPU configurations are supported across the primary and secondary x16 slots. Storage options are a strong point: three M.2 connectors all running PCIe 4.0 x4 (one from the CPU, two from the chipset), plus six SATA 6Gb/s ports for legacy drives. Thermal Guards on the M.2 slots help manage SSD temperatures under sustained workloads. Connectivity includes a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip, a rear USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) support, a rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, four rear USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two rear USB 2.0 ports. Front-panel USB is covered by a USB-C header (Gen 1) and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 header. Display output for integrated graphics is available via HDMI 2.0 (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz). Audio is handled by a Realtek HD Audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel output with S/PDIF Out. Fan management uses Gigabyte's Smart Fan 6 system with multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP capability. The BIOS is AMI UEFI with Q-Flash Plus, allowing firmware updates without a CPU, memory, or GPU installed — useful during initial builds or after a failed update. ARGB and standard RGB headers (two each) are present for lighting customisation via Gigabyte Control Center.
