Pro Z790-A WIFI platform

The board pairs an Intel Z790 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket, accepting Core 12th, 13th and 14th Gen processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron parts. It targets builders who need a full-size ATX foundation with integrated wireless and 2.5 Gbps LAN.

DDR5 capacity and headroom

Four slots support dual-channel DDR5 up to 256 GB, running at JEDEC speeds from 4800 to 5600 MHz and overclocked profiles reaching 7200 MHz. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU, while the chipset adds a PCIe 4.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for additional cards.

Build integration and I/O

Six SATA III ports and four M.2 interfaces provide storage flexibility. Rear I/O includes 2.0, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Type-A ports plus a front-panel 10 Gbps Type-C header. Realtek ALC4080 drives 7.1-channel audio with S/PDIF, and the package ships with a Wi-Fi antenna, CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the I/O shield.

Questions about this item

Will my existing LGA 1700 cooler fit the socket on this board?

Yes, the board uses the standard LGA 1700 socket so any cooler with that mounting pattern will fit.

How can I confirm the DDR5 memory is running at the speeds listed such as 7200 MHz?

Enter the BIOS and verify the XMP profile shows the rated frequency, or check the memory speed readout in Windows Task Manager.

Which cables and the Wi-Fi antenna are included in the box?

The package contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable, the rear I/O shield and the Wi-Fi antenna.
