LGA 1700 DDR5 motherboard for Intel Core 12, 13.

This E-ATX board uses the Intel Z790 Express chipset and an LGA 1700 socket to support 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Four DDR5 DIMM slots accept up to 192 GB of memory with single modules up to 48 GB. Dual-channel architecture and XMP support are included for high-speed memory configurations.

Thunderbolt 4 and DDR5 speed range

Two onboard Intel Thunderbolt 4 controllers provide high-bandwidth external connectivity for storage, displays and peripherals. The memory subsystem validates a wide ladder of overclocked DDR5 data rates from 4000 MT/s up to 8266 MT/s alongside standard 4800 MT/s JEDEC speeds. ECC un-buffered DIMMs are accepted but operate in non-ECC mode.

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics and accelerators

The primary expansion slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 electrical, delivering maximum throughput for current-generation graphics cards and compute add-in cards. Builders who need multiple full-length cards or legacy PCI slots should verify the board layout against their case and card requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the DDR5 memory slots on the Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE need replacing as speeds increase beyond 8266 MT/s?

The board supports DDR5 up to 8266 MT/s overclocked across four slots with a 192 GB maximum, so future modules within that range fit without slot changes.

What limits sustained performance first on the Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE?

The Intel Z790 Express chipset and LGA1700 VRM define the power ceiling for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, so VRM thermal headroom becomes the practical limit under continuous load.

How loud and hot does the Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE run when the system is on all day?

With integrated Thunderbolt 4 controllers and dual-channel DDR5 up to 8266 MT/s, sustained use increases VRM and chipset heat, requiring adequate case airflow to keep temperatures and fan noise controlled.
