Introducing The Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX LGA1700 Motherboard

Get your next gaming rig up and running with the GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard. Designed to give new and seasoned builders the ability to install resource-demanding components while offering a unique and customizable aesthetic, the AORUS ELITE AX lays a proper foundation for your next build. Equipped with Intel's LGA 1700 socket and Z790 chipset, you can leverage a wide range of Core, Celeron, and Pentium processors, enhancing performance and responsiveness. Four dual-channel DDR5 RAM slots enable you to install up to 128GB of memory to enhance multitasking and rendering speeds. Install an array of storage drives for your media assets with six SATA III and four M.2 PCIe interfaces. The AORUS ELITE AX also has one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16 (in x4 mode), and one PCIe 3.0 x16 (in x4 mode) expansion slot so you can equip your system with various graphics and utility cards. Connect your low-powered peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and controllers to the AORUS ELITE AX with USB-A 2.0 ports while USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports are reserved for resource-demanding devices such as external drives, audio interfaces, and more. You can also use Bluetooth 5.3 technology to support wireless devices for a true cable-free experience. Quickly access online assets with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) technology for wireless connectivity or use the wired 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for a strong and reliable connection.

Performance

Twin Digital VRM design leverages 16 VCORE phases and 70A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors as well as extreme overclocking. DDR5 XMP overclocking boosts RAM up to 7600 MHz for enhanced multitasking and rendering performance.

Enhanced Thermal Design

Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the AORUS ELITE AX's fully covered MOSFET heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard, 6mm heatpipe, 7.5 W/mK Thermal Pad, and 6-layer 2x copper PCB work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. Smart Fan 6 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.

Front Panel USB-C Connector

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 port has a throughput up to 10 Gb/s while connected to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.

Personalization & Customization

With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room. UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile according to your needs. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode.

Ultra Durable

Sporting an easy DIY design, the AORUS ELITE AX provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. PCIe EZ-Latch provides quick access to your M.2 storage drives and Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor.
