Ready for Intel Core 12th, 13th and 14th Gen

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It supports un-buffered DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. The board targets gamers and builders who need modern connectivity and a strong power phase design.

14+1 DrMOS power stages for stable delivery

The voltage regulator module uses fourteen DrMOS power stages plus one additional phase. Large VRM heatsinks, a PCH heatsink and hybrid fan headers managed by Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II keep temperatures under control during heavy loads.

Three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots and Thunderbolt header

Rear I/O includes one USB 20Gbps Type-C, one USB 10Gbps Type-A, two USB 5Gbps Type-A and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports. Onboard Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, Realtek 1Gb LAN and 7.1-channel audio complete the platform.

Questions about this item

What does the 14+1 DrMOS power design mean when the board is running a high-end CPU?

The 14+1 DrMOS stages and 6-layer PCB deliver stable current to the LGA 1700 socket so 13th and 14th Gen processors can sustain boost clocks under load.

How fast is the rear USB 20Gbps Type-C port in real use?

It runs at USB 20Gbps speed, capped by the controller and cable quality; connected devices negotiate the highest rate both ends support.

What clearance do the large VRM heatsinks need for a CPU cooler?

The board uses an ATX layout with large VRM heatsinks; choose a cooler rated for standard ATX keep-out zones to avoid interference.
