Gigabyte Z790 AORUS TACHYON

Flagship large E-ATX motherboard from Gigabyte with LGA 1700 processor socket, high-end power subsystem, fast RAM support and advanced overclocking tools. It belongs to the upper price segment, designed primarily for overclocking enthusiasts who know how to squeeze all the juice out of their hardware with the help of competent manual settings. It is based on an advanced 18-phase power subsystem with a RENESAS RAA229131 digital PWM controller, the capabilities of which are designed to overclock flagship multi-core Core i7 and Core i9 chips.

The integrated cooling system consists of multiple heatsinks that completely cover the VRM power subsystem for efficient heat dissipation, as well as additional thermal pads and heat pipes. The circuitry is designed to minimize signal loss interference, and the tracks leading to the DIMM slots are equipped with additional Shielded Memory Routing. Thanks to this, the board is able to overclock DDR5 RAM up to 8333 MHz, which is actually 4 times faster than classic DDR4-2400 RAM.

In addition to the advanced power subsystem, there are many tools and sensors to simplify overclocking (XMP Booster, DDR5 Unlocked Voltage, etc.), as well as improve measurement accuracy. Gigabyte Z790 AORUS TACHYON is equipped with LGA 1700 processor socket and Intel Z790 system logic. It is designed for use with 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors (Alder Lake and Raptor Lake).

In addition, it supports the PCI-E 4.0 interface, which allows you to install several modern M.2 SSD drives with read and write speeds up to 8000 MB / s. In addition, 4 SATA3 connectors are available to the user for installing classic drives (HDD 3.5 ”or SSD 2.5”). Advanced networking features are provided by an Intel network controller with a 2.5-gigabit LAN port and a built-in wireless receiver with Wi-Fi 6E.
