Quite an expensive motherboard from Gigabyte, designed based on the flagship Z790 chipset. Part of the 2022 AORUS ELITE lineup, it boasts advanced hardware and additional overclocking tools, which can interest experienced gamers and enthusiasts. Equipped with LGA 1700 processor socket, supports installation of 2/4/6/8/10-core Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron 12th and 13th generation processors. Given the powerful 19-phase power subsystem, the board will be an excellent choice for assembling top-end premium gaming configurations with Core i9 class processors and GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards. To increase stability and better control during overclocking, the model is equipped with ubiquitous additional cooling systems, thermal sensors and a smart system for regulating the cooling sys...tem. Also, the board can update the firmware directly from the BIOS shell without loading the operating system. Otherwise, the Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X complies with the ATX standard and has 6 standard SATA 3 connectors, 4 M.2 slots with additional cooling and support for the PCI-E 4.0 interface, and dual PCI-E slots that allow you to install 2 video cards in the system in Crossfire mode. To connect the RAM, there are 4 new generation DIMM slots, designed to install up to 128 GB of DDR5 memory with a maximum frequency of 7600 MHz. Auxiliary connectors allow you to connect several colored ribbons (2 RGB + 2 ARGB) and a water pump.
