GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS MASTER X DDR5 Intel Motherboard
Features Of GIGABYTEÂ Z790 AORUS MASTER X
Â
Performance
Twin Digital VRM design leverages 20 VCORE phases and 105A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors as well as extreme overclocking. DDR5 XMP overclocking boosts RAM up to 8266 MHz for enhanced multitasking and rendering performance.
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling and utilizing GIGABYTE VRM Thermal Armor Fins-Array technology, the AORUS MASTER X’s fully covered MOSFET heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard, 8-layer 2x copper PCB, vent holes, and Smart Fan6 application work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. Smart Fan6 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.
Front Panel USB-C Connector
The front and back USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 ports provide up to 20 Gb/s throughput while connected to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
RGB Fusion
With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE’s RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room.
Intuitive System Customization
UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile with a reimaged UX, Quick Access function, PerfDrive technology, and BIOS Cooling. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode. You also get access to various modes that unlock the potential of your processor including Optimization, Spec Enhance, Instant 6GHz+, and E-Core Disable modes.
Ultra Durable
Sporting an easy DIY design, the AORUS MASTER X provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. PCIe EZ-Latch Plus provides quick removal for your graphics card and Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor. You also get strong and reliable enhancements including a reinforced PCIe UD Slot X, Memory UD Slot D5, M.2 UD Slot PG5, UD Nanocarbon Backplate, and UD Power Connector.
PCB Crafting Xtra layers for excellent players
As the very foundation of the motherboard, the PCB plays a subtle yet critical role in the capabilities. No gamers should overlook the details lie within the PCB layers.
8-Layer PCB
Enables dense integration, signal quality, power integrity, and low EMI for high-performance systems.
2X Copper Enhancement
Enhances system performance with improved heat dissipation, power handling, and seamless overclocking support.
56% Lower Dissipation Factor
