Z790 chipset for Intel LGA 1700 CPUs
This motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and an LGA 1700 socket to support 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron models. It targets builders who need a full-size ATX board with current connectivity for work or gaming systems.
Four DDR5 slots and four M.2 sockets
Four 288-pin DDR5 slots accept up to 192 GB of memory in dual-channel mode with XMP 3.0 profiles up to 7800 MHz. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects to the CPU, while three chipset-linked slots provide PCIe 4.0 x4, PCIe 3.0 x1 and PCIe 3.0 x1. Four M.2 sockets (two from CPU, two from chipset) take 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives, and six SATA 6Gb/s ports add further storage flexibility.
2.5 Gbps LAN with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
Wired networking runs at 2.5 Gbps through an Intel controller, while wireless uses Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for modern peripheral and network support. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC4080 codec delivering 7.1-channel output with S/PDIF. The 16+1+1 DRPS power design with dual 8-pin CPU connectors and extended heatsinks keeps the board stable under heavy multi-core loads.

Questions sur cet article
What limits sustained performance first on the PRO Z790-A MAX WiFi?
The 16+1+1 DRPS power design with 80A SPS stages and dual 8-pin CPU connectors is built to handle high current loads, so thermal capacity of the extended heatsink and 7W/mK MOSFET pads becomes the practical ceiling under continuous all-core workloads.
How loud and hot does the board run during all-day operation?
Premium thermal solution uses an extended heatsink, 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads, additional choke pads and M.2 Shield Frozr to dissipate heat without active chipset fans, keeping noise at case-fan level while maintaining safe temperatures for 24/7 use.
What must I already own for this motherboard to work?
You need an LGA 1700 processor from the 12th, 13th or 14th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold or Celeron families, DDR5 memory modules, an ATX case and PSU with dual 8-pin CPU power cables, plus a CPU cooler that clears the extended heatsink.
