Z790 platform for Intel Core 12th to 14th Gen

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and LGA 1700 socket to support 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core, Celeron and Pentium Gold processors. Four 288‑pin DDR5 slots run dual‑channel memory up to 192 GB with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles. A 12+1+1 phase digital VRM delivers stable power for high‑core‑count CPUs.

Enlarged MOSFET heatsinks and M.2 Thermal Guard

Advanced thermal design uses enlarged MOSFET heatsinks and an M.2 Thermal Guard to keep VRM and SSD temperatures in check during sustained loads. Smart Fan 6 reads multiple onboard sensors and controls hybrid fan headers with a fan‑stop function, reducing noise when the system is idle or lightly loaded.

EZ‑Latch quick‑release and Q‑Flash Plus

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot features an EZ‑Latch quick‑release mechanism for tool‑free graphics card swaps. Q‑Flash Plus lets you update the BIOS using a USB drive without installing a CPU, memory or graphics card, simplifying recovery and new‑processor preparation.

Questions about this item

Will this board fit in a standard ATX case and work with a regular power supply?

Yes, it follows the ATX form factor and uses standard 12-pin plus 8-pin CPU power connectors, so any ATX case and PSU will work

Can I run a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 and DDR5 6000 memory without a BIOS update?

The board supports 12th, 13th and 14th Gen CPUs and DDR5 up to 7600 MT/s with XMP 3.0; if the CPU is newer than the shipping BIOS, use Q-Flash Plus to update without installing the CPU or memory

How many NVMe SSDs can I install and what speeds do they run at?

Three M.2 slots are provided, all PCIe 4.0 x4, supporting 2280 drives; the top slot connects to the CPU, the other two to the chipset
