Depending on the revision: MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7927, RZ738 (rev. 1.0), Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 (rev. 1.1), Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 QCNCM865 (rev. 1.2).

Classic ATX motherboard from Gigabyte, part of the 2023 Aorus Pro line. Equipped with an LGA 1700 processor socket, running the top-end Z790 system logic, designed for the 12/13/14th generation Intel Core hardware platform (Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, Raptor Lake Refresh). Designed for experienced video game fans who are looking for a modern motherboard with a reliable power subsystem, support for next-gen components and serious tools for overclocking the system.

Thanks to the use of a powerful 16-phase converter and high-quality element base, the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X will be the optimal choice for assembling high-performance gaming systems with Core i9/Ryzen 9 class processors and GeForce RTX 3080/3090/4080/4090 video cards. Emphasizing that it belongs to the gaming series, the manufacturer included in the kit the Gigabyte RGB Fusion backlight synchronization system, additional connectors for connecting RGB/ARGB lighting and free zones for installing water pumps.

Additional stability of the system is ensured by a protective complex, including proprietary radiators VRM zones, heat pipes, Thermal Guard pads and many thermal sensors controlled using Smart Fan 6 software. The layout of the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X slots provides various options for organizing a disk subsystem based on high-speed M .2-drives with support for high-speed PCI interfaces of the fourth and fifth generations.

There are five such connectors in total. As an alternative, there are 4 more conventional SATA3 connectors. Daisy Chain technology maximizes the use of the PCI-E 4.0 data bus, increasing the speed of data transfer between drives, RAM and the video card. To organize RAM, there are 4 DDR5 slots with support for dual-channel operating mode and XMP technology. The maximum RAM frequency can reach 8266 MHz, which significantly exceeds the capabilities of default DDR4 modules. The picture is completed by an advanced Realtek network controller with a built-in next-generation Wi-Fi 7 wireless module.
