Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX-W - Motherboard for Intel LGA 1700 - ATX

Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX-W is a high-performance ATX motherboard for Intel LGA 1700 platforms, designed to support the latest Intel processors and fast DDR5 memory for demanding builds.

This motherboard is built around the Intel Z790 Express chipset and supports a wide range of Intel® processors including Celeron®, Pentium® Gold and the Core™ i3/i5/i7/i9 families on the LGA 1700 socket, giving you flexibility when choosing a CPU for gaming, content creation, or workstation tasks.

Memory support is a standout feature, with four DIMM slots compatible with DDR5-SDRAM in dual-channel configuration, ECC and non-ECC support, and a maximum capacity of 192 GB. The board handles high-speed kits up to 7600 MHz, and supports module sizes from 1 GB up to 48 GB, enabling extreme multitasking and heavy memory workloads.

Storage and expansion options are comprehensive: four M.2 slots plus multiple PCIe slots (Gen5 x16, Gen4 x16, Gen3 x16) and six SATA III ports allow up to ten storage drives and RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations. This makes the board ideal for fast NVMe boot drives, large game libraries, or RAID arrays for data redundancy and performance.

Connectivity is modern and plentiful, with onboard Intel Wi‑Fi 6E (AX211) and Bluetooth 5.3, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, USB Type-C Gen2x2 and multiple USB Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, and audio with 7.1 channels plus S/PDIF out. There are also TPM and Thunderbolt headers, RGB header, and robust power connectors including 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS for stable CPU delivery.

PC builders will appreciate practical features such as UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit), clear CMOS button/jumper, extensive fan and water cooling monitoring, and bundled accessories including SATA cables and a CR2032 battery. The board ships with a three-year warranty and Windows 10/11 x64 compatibility for mainstream desktop setups.

Typical use cases include high-end gaming rigs with PCIe Gen5 GPUs and fast NVMe storage, content creation systems that benefit from large DDR5 capacity and fast connectivity, and enthusiast motherboards for overclockers and custom cooling setups. The Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX-W delivers a balanced platform for users who need future-proof connectivity and strong memory and storage scalability.
