Z790 ATX board for Intel LGA 1700 CPUs

The motherboard uses the Intel Z790 chipset and fits the LGA 1700 socket. It supports Intel Core 12th, 13th and 14th generation processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron models. The ATX form factor suits standard desktop builds.

DDR5 memory up to 7800 MT/s and 192 GB limit

Dual-channel DDR5 runs at JEDEC speeds from 4800 to 5600 MHz and can be overclocked through steps up to 7800 MHz. Total capacity stops at 192 GB. PCIe 5.0 x16 comes from the CPU while the chipset provides PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.

Check CPU cooler clearance and rear I/O needs

The board includes 2.5 Gbps LAN, Realtek ALC4080 7.1-channel audio and a rear USB 20 Gbps Type-C port among other 10 Gbps and 5 Gbps ports. Verify that your case, power supply and cooler match the ATX layout and that the provided I/O shield fits your chassis.

Questions about this item

Which DDR5 speed should I pick for this board with its 192GB maximum?

The board supports dual‑channel DDR5 from 4800 MHz JEDEC up to 7800 MHz when overclocked, so choose a kit rated for the highest speed your CPU and cooling can sustain.

What does the 7800 MHz DDR5 figure mean once the board is in a working PC?

It is the highest overclocked memory frequency the board can reach; actual speed depends on the processor’s memory controller, the DIMM quality and your BIOS settings.

What PCIe generation does the top x16 slot use and what does that cap in practice?

The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0, limiting graphics cards or accelerators to 5.0 bandwidth while the second x16 slot operates at PCIe 3.0 x1 and the third at PCIe 4.0 x4.
