LGA 1700 Z790 DDR4 Motherboard

This ATX board accepts Intel Core 12th, 13th and 14th generation processors in the LGA 1700 socket. It is built for workstations and enthusiast desktops that need Z790 features while keeping existing DDR4 memory kits.

128GB DDR4 Capacity and PCIe Layout

Four slots support up to 128GB of DDR4 memory for heavy multitasking and content creation workloads. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU, a second slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x1 and a third at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset, so add-in cards share bandwidth accordingly.

Bundled I/O Shield, Battery.

The package supplies a rear I/O shield, a CMOS battery and one SATA cable for immediate installation. A Wi-Fi antenna is also included to enable the onboard wireless module, while no further cables or software media are provided.
