NZXT N7 Z790 Wifi DDR5 Intel Motherboard (White)

The NZXT N7 Z790 Wi-Fi DDR5 Motherboard in White is a full-sized ATX board built on the Intel Z790 Express Chipset, designed to complement NZXT cases and ecosystem components with a clean, full-metal white cover that conceals the typical visual clutter of a motherboard. The integrated rear I/O shield and optimally placed internal headers make the assembly process more straightforward, while the cover's built-in heat spreader protects the top-most M.2 slot during operation. Powering the board's overclocking headroom is a 16+1+2 DrMOS power phase design backed by a 2oz copper PCB, providing stable power delivery for Intel 12th and 13th Generation Core processors via the LGA 1700 socket. Technologies including Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0, Thermal Velocity Boost, and Adaptive Boost are all supported, allowing compatible CPUs to reach their rated boost frequencies reliably. Memory support extends to four DDR5 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, with capacity up to 128GB and XMP 3.0 profiles supported for straightforward performance tuning. Storage is handled by three M.2 slots — two running PCIe 4.0 x4 and one offering both PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA 6Gb/s — plus four SATA 6Gb/s ports for traditional drives. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 for current-generation discrete graphics. Connectivity is a strong point: Wi-Fi 6E (dual-band) and Bluetooth 5.2 are built in, alongside a Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5G wired LAN port. The rear I/O provides a comprehensive USB spread including one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1220 codec delivering 8-channel HD audio through five rear jacks and an optical S/PDIF output. RGB and fan management are integrated directly into the board: seven fan channels (one CPU_FAN, one AIO_PUMP, five SYS_FAN), four NZXT RGB LED connectors, and two 5V ARGB connectors are all controllable through NZXT CAM software, which also supports lighting accessories from third-party manufacturers. Four POST LEDs aid in rapid fault diagnosis during startup.
