The Gigabyte Z790 Eagle AX is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the Intel Z790 Express Chipset and designed for the LGA1700 socket. It supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors, giving builders a platform that remains relevant across multiple Intel generations. The board measures 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm and fits any standard ATX chassis. Memory support is a standout feature. Four DDR5 DIMM slots accept up to 256 GB of system memory (64 GB per DIMM), with XMP 3.0 profiles enabled. On 14th and 13th Gen Core i9/i7 processors the board can reach DDR5 7600 MT/s in overclocked mode, while 12th Gen and lower-tier 13th Gen CPUs are supported at DDR5 4800/4400 MT/s natively. Dual-channel architecture and ECC un-buffered DIMM support (operating in non-ECC mode) round out the memory subsystem. For connectivity, the board ships with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (on PCB rev. 1.0) or Realtek RTL8852CE Wi-Fi 6E (on PCB rev. 1.1) module supporting 802.11ax across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands at up to 160 MHz channel width, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. Wired networking is handled by a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip supporting 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps speeds. Storage flexibility comes via three M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 connectors (one CPU-attached supporting up to 22110/2280, two chipset-attached at 2280), plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported for both NVMe and SATA arrays. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 directly from the CPU, featuring Gigabyte’s EZ-Latch quick-release mechanism. The rear I/O panel provides a USB Type-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2), one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), DisplayPort (up to 4096×2304 @ 60 Hz), an RJ-45 port, and three audio jacks. The board also carries two Thunderbolt add-in card connectors internally. Thermal management uses Gigabyte’s Smart Fan 6 system with multiple temperature sensors, hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality, and M.2 thermal guards to protect NVMe SSDs under sustained loads. The Q-Flash Plus button allows BIOS updates without installing a CPU, memory, or graphics card — a practical advantage during initial builds or after failed updates.
