Compatible with Raptor Lake-S processors
All motherboards with 600 and 700 series chipsets are compatible with Raptor Lake-S processors. Motherboards with 600 series chipsets may require a BIOS update to properly support Raptor Lake-S processors.
Designed for 14th generation Intel processors
X stands for 14th generation! Introducing AORUS Z790 X Gen motherboards, the most powerful platforms ever built for 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. With leading DDR5 memory performance, improved DIY-friendly innovations, and an all-new BIOS redesigned to be user-centric, AORUS Z790 X Gen motherboards are built to fully unleash the power of the next generation.
DDR5 performance
GIGABYTE is committed to delivering unrivaled performance with 14th Generation Intel® Core™ processors. That's why every Z790 AORUS XTREME X motherboard is designed with industry-leading technologies to achieve best-in-class DDR5 performance on the market.
Exceptional power delivery
The Z790 AORUS XTREME GIGABYTE's DIRECT VRM DESIGN stands out for its temperature control and current efficiency. When combined with a polymer tantalum capacitor, it increases efficiency, reduces ripple and maintains lower temperatures. This strengthens AORUS motherboards, improving response, stability and overclocking performance.
Advanced cooling
Every Z790 AORUS XTREME X motherboard features the most advanced all-metal thermal design. These solid heatsinks are forged to keep your system cool during high-speed operation. GIGABYTE's Fins-Array heatsink design, featuring irregular fins and a nano-carbon coating, delivers exceptional thermal performance.
Extra layers for great players
As the foundation of the motherboard, the PCB plays a subtle but crucial role in capabilities. No gamer should miss the details found in the PCB layers. The 8-layer PCB enables dense integration, signal quality, power integrity and low EMI in high-performance systems. Additionally, it increases system performance with improved heat dissipation, power distribution and smooth overclocking support.
Very versatile connectivity
The Thunderbolt™ 4-compatible USB4 connector provides speeds of 40 Gbps, supports DisplayPort 1.4a and allows you to connect up to 10 devices, including 4K/8K displays, all with charging capabilities.
WiFi 7
Wi-Fi 7 offers significant benefits in the virtual reality (VR) sphere. With high bandwidth and low latency, Wi-Fi 7 delivers a smooth and immersive VR experience. Wi-Fi 7 supports channels up to 320 MHz, providing a significant increase in bandwidth and higher data rates.
With MLO (Multi-Link Operation) technology, you can allocate the 2.4 GHz band for streaming and the 5/6 GHz band for gaming, ensuring a better network experience with fewer interruptions. With 4K-QAM technology, Wi-Fi 7 improves data throughput, resulting in faster file transfers and smooth streaming.
Deterministic low latency ensures minimal latency, making it ideal for real-time applications such as video conferencing and online gaming. Experience increased signal strength with the GIGABYTE ultra-high gain antenna, which includes a smart antenna function to optimize Wi-Fi signal transmission.
Dominate the game with great sound
The ESSential HEX USB DAC replaces outdated front-end audio interfaces, providing improved audio quality with reduced pre-ringing, higher reverb strength and superior soundstage, making it the perfect choice for immersive audio experiences across a variety of devices.
Explore endless tools
The Z790 AORUS XTREME X motherboard is the embodiment of our constant pursuit of BIOS optimization. Thanks to our new community partnership, we're now making next-gen performance more accessible in an even more intuitive way.
