Adamant Custom AORUS Z790 24-Core Liquid Cooled i9-14900K 192GB DDR5 8TB NVMe gaming PC

Core configuration

This desktop pairs a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900K with 192GB DDR5 memory and 8TB NVMe storage across two 4TB Samsung 990 PRO drives. The Z790 AORUS motherboard provides WiFi6 and 2.5Gb Ethernet connectivity. It suits professionals who need high multi-thread throughput and large fast storage without a discrete graphics card. Buyers requiring dedicated GPU compute or multiple PCIe add-in cards should look elsewhere.

Cooling and power delivery

A 360mm Quiet Edition liquid cooler handles the CPU thermal load while the Thermaltake Smart 850W 80 PLUS Bronze unit supplies power with Japanese main capacitors and protections for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-power and short-circuit. The case includes three 120mm front fans, one 120mm PSU shroud fan and a 140mm PSU fan for airflow. Users planning extreme overclocks or custom loop expansion will find the closed-loop cooler and fixed PSU limiting.

Chassis and connectivity

The Antec P10 FLUX mid-tower measures 477 x 220 x 486 mm with a sound-dampening panel, front fan control button, two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio. Rear I/O offers one USB Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 2, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports plus HDMI and DisplayPort from the integrated graphics. Internal bays provide three 3.5-inch and three 2.5-inch slots with four M.2 connectors on the motherboard. Builders needing front USB Type-C or more than one 5.25-inch external bay will not find them here.
