LGA 1700 platform support

This motherboard fits Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th and 14th generations on the LGA 1700 socket. The Z790 chipset unlocks overclocking headroom for enthusiasts and content creators who need sustained multi-core throughput. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 128 GB of memory running at 4800 MHz stock speeds with XMP 3.0 profiles available.

DDR5 capacity and expansion limits

Dual-channel memory tops out at 128 GB, giving ample room for heavy multitasking and large datasets. Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots operate at x16 or x8/x8, while a third slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x4. Five M.2 sockets include one Gen5 x4 and four Gen4 x4 drives, though populating the second PCIe 5.0 slot disables the top M.2 and using the third slot disables five SATA ports.

Bundled connectivity and audio upgrades

Two USB4 Thunderbolt Type-C ports add 40 Gb/s external bandwidth for docks and high-speed storage. Killer E3100G 2.5 Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E handle wired and wireless traffic. The Realtek ALC4082 codec paired with an ESS SABRE 9218 DAC and WIMA capacitors drives 5.1-channel output with Nahimic software processing.

Questions about this item

Will a 14th Gen Intel Core CPU work out of the box?

A BIOS update may be required before the board recognises 14th Gen processors.

How many M.2 drives can run at full speed simultaneously?

One Gen5 x4 drive in the Blazing slot and up to four Gen4 x4 drives in the Hyper slots, provided the second PCIe 5.0 x16 slot stays empty.

What memory speeds are supported beyond the base specification?

DDR5 7000 MHz is listed as an overclocked target via Intel XMP 3.0 profiles.
