Z790 AORUS PRO X LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard

This Intel Z790 motherboard fits the LGA 1700 socket and supports 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It delivers a Twin 18+1+2 phase digital VRM with advanced thermal armour and M.2 guards. The board provides four DDR5 DIMM slots, five M.2 connectors, 5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 7 and front and rear USB 3.2 Type-C 20Gb/s ports.

Who This Suits

Enthusiasts building a high-performance DDR5 system with PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage will use the full feature set. The Q-Flash Plus button allows BIOS updates without a CPU, memory or GPU installed. Users needing only SATA storage or 1GbE networking can choose a simpler board.

Deciding Specification

Four DDR5 slots support up to 192GB total capacity with XMP 3.0 profiles reaching 8266 MT/s. This memory ceiling and speed range determine whether the platform matches the workload.
