GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX

GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX
The GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX supports 14th, 13th, and 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors and features a dual-channel DDR5 memory controller with overclocking support via XMP 3.0 technology. Its 6-layer PCB design, two copper layers, and a 12+1+1 phase power solution guarantee reliable operation even under heavy loads. The board comes with modern networking equipment, including 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E, ensuring a fast and stable connection. High-quality sound is delivered by a Hi-Fi audio system with premium capacitors and separated analogue circuits for clean signal transmission. Extensive connectivity includes USB-C 10Gb/s, DisplayPort, HDMI, and Q-Flash Plus, which enables easy BIOS updates without installing a CPU or memory.
Key features of the GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX motherboard
- Supports 14th, 13th, and 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors
- Digital 12+1+1 phase power delivery with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs
- Dual-channel DDR5 memory with XMP 3.0 and DDR5 XMP Booster function
- Three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots with Thermal Guard cooling
- PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with EZ-Latch for easy GPU removal
- 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E network connectivity
- Q-Flash Plus for BIOS updates without a CPU
- Hi-Fi audio with high-quality capacitors
Stable power and high performance
The Twin 12+1+1 Phases Digital VRM power architecture, combined with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs and Solid Pin connectors, ensures clean voltage and efficient power distribution. Thanks to its 6+6 phase parallel power design, the board maintains stable operation even during intense overclocking. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with EZ-Latch technology makes handling graphics cards easier, while three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots with passive Thermal Guard cooling guarantee stable SSD performance even under sustained loads.
Advanced memory technologies and cooling
The motherboard is optimised for maximum DDR5 memory utilisation, enabling easy overclocking and automatic voltage management with DDR5 XMP Booster and Secure Mode. The Low Signal Loss PCB and Shielded Memory Routing technologies enhance transmission stability and minimise interference. Efficient cooling is handled by an enlarged MOSFET heatsink with a one-piece TMOS design, which provides up to three times the cooling surface area of standard solutions.
