Socket LGA 1700 ATX board for 14th Gen Intel

This ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE motherboard fits the LGA 1700 socket and supports Intel Core 14th Gen processors in a standard ATX layout. It is built for DDR5 memory and includes multi-GPU support for high-end graphics configurations. The board targets enthusiasts who want maximum overclocking headroom on a full-size platform.

Suited for DDR5 gaming builds with multi-GPU plans

The board suits builders running Intel Core 14th Gen CPUs who need DDR5 memory and want to run more than one graphics card. It is less appropriate for small-form-factor cases that only accept micro-ATX or mini-ITX boards, or for systems that must use older DDR memory standards. Users needing a compact layout or legacy memory support should consider other form factors.

DDR5 memory standard decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the DDR5 memory standard; only DDR5 modules will install and operate on this board. If your current kit is a different DDR generation it will not work and must be replaced. Confirm your memory type before purchase to avoid mismatched components.

Questions about this item

How do I seat the CPU into the LGA 1700 socket without bending pins?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down, then close the retention lever in one smooth motion; the lever locks with an audible click when pressure is even.

Will the DDR5 slots or voltage regulators need active cooling after months of high-frequency gaming?

The board ships with heatsinks on the VRM and M.2 areas; adding a case fan blowing across them keeps temperatures stable during long sessions.

At what point does the 14-phase power delivery hit its thermal ceiling under sustained load?

Extended 100 % CPU loads push VRM temperatures toward the 90 °C range, where throttling begins unless chassis airflow is increased.
