Overview
The GIGABYTE Z790M Aorus Elite DDR5 is a Micro ATX form-factor motherboard built on the Intel Z790 Express chipset. Designed around the LGA1700 socket, it supports 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors, giving builders a versatile platform for gaming rigs, creative workstations, and productivity-focused systems that demand modern I/O and memory bandwidth. Memory performance is a highlight of this board. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel configurations with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. Native DDR5-4800 operation is complemented by XMP/overclocking profiles reaching up to DDR5-7600 (O.C.), providing ample headroom for users who want to extract peak throughput from high-frequency memory kits. Expansion options are well considered for a Micro ATX design. A primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot handles the latest discrete graphics cards at full bandwidth, while a second PCIe 4.0 x16 physical slot runs at x4 for additional expansion cards. Six SATA 6 Gb/s connectors give ample room for traditional drives alongside NVMe storage. board connectivity includes a Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN controller supporting 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps link speeds. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1200 codec delivering up to 7.1-channel surround output. The rear I/O panel provides one HDMI 2.0 port and one DisplayPort for use with processors featuring integrated Intel graphics, plus two audio jacks. Power delivery uses a 24-pin ATX main connector, one 8-pin ATX 12 V connector, and one 4-pin ATX 12 V connector. The board measures 24.4 cm × 24.4 cm, conforming to the standard Micro ATX footprint.
