Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX

A perfectly balanced, full-format motherboard for gamers and overclocking enthusiasts from Gigabyte. It belongs to the upper price segment, is included in the popular series of Gigabyte Gaming components in 2023. Designed for demanding gamers, overclocking enthusiasts and dedicated professionals who are looking for a high-performance and reliable workstation foundation based on the 12th or 13th generation Intel Core platform.

Designed in accordance with the Ultra Durable concept, which implies the use of a high-quality and reliable element base. According to it, a key role in the durability of motherboards is played by a high-end element base, built on the basis of heat-resistant capacitors, ferrite chokes and low-resistance field-effect transistors. Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX is based on the flagship Z790 system logic, and its heart is an extremely powerful hybrid 19-phase power subsystem with additional cooling for power circuits and critical areas.

The price, equipment and high level of quality make it similar to the elite motherboards from the Gigabyte Aorus line, so the most reasonable option would be to build a powerful gaming or workstation based on it with a Core i7 / i9 caliber processor, a lot of RAM, a disk array of several M. 2 SSD drives and an RTX 3080-level graphics card. Less powerful components will not be able to fully unleash its potential.

The device layout includes 6 slots for connecting drives (4 SATA3 + 2 M.2 with support for the PCI-E 4.0 bus) and several reinforced PCI-E slots for video cards (Crossfire mode). For connecting RAM, there are 4 standard DIMM slots that support up to 128 GB of new generation DDR5 memory with a maximum frequency of 7600 MHz. Network traffic is distributed by a Realtek LAN controller with a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps and a pre-installed wireless module (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth v 5.3).
