GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX LGA 1700 Intel motherboard

SKU CH-YRNW-5JW01

ATX motherboard for Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs with LGA 1700 socket, four DDR5 slots up to 192 GB, PCIe 5.0 x16, three M.2 connectors, 2.5 GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E

  • ProcessorIntel Core 13th Gen (LGA 1700)
  • ChipsetIntel Z790
  • Form factorATX
  • CPU socketLGA 1700
  • Memory slot count4 × 288pin (DDR5)
  • Supported memoryDDR5 5600
  • Supports 14th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors via LGA 1700 socket
  • 192 GB maximum DDR5 capacity across four 288-pin slots for heavy workloads
  • Twin 12+1+1 phase digital VRM delivers stable power for overclocking
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 slot plus two M.2 connectors for high-speed NVMe storage
  • 5 GbE LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 6E provide fast, low-latency networking

Socket and Memory

This motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket and supports 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. Four 288-pin DDR5 slots run in dual channel up to 192 GB. JEDEC speeds reach 5600 MT/s and overclocked profiles scale to 7600 MT/s.

Upgrade Path

This board replaces Z790 models by adding a CPU-linked PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 connector. The jump is worth it when the build needs GPU bandwidth at 5.0 speeds or a CPU-attached NVMe drive at 4.0 x4.

Target Builder

The 12+1+1 phase digital VRM suits high-core-count CPUs and sustained workloads. Builders who only need SATA storage, 1 GbE networking or a smaller form factor should look at a B760 or ITX alternative.
