GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 ATX マザーボード [Intel Z790チップセット搭載] MB5929

Finally said goodbye to all HDD with this MB

I really like this mobo. Highly customizable settings, nice build quality, etc. My buddy just built an brand new Asus system- flashed the recently released Asus BIOS update and bricked it. Asus sent him a replacement- two of the four RAM slots did not work. Give this Gigabyte Z790 Aorus DDR4 Wifi a chance. I paired it with a new Intel i7-13700 CPU, a Thermalrite Assassin air cooler, a Samsung Gen 4 M.2 drive and 48 GB of Corsair RAM. It screams in gaming even with a legacy Nvidia 3060Ti GPU. Flashed the BIOS to version F6 (due to recent security revelations) - super easy to do right thru Windows 11. Went perfect. Super happy with this mobo so far ! This is my first new gen computer build in many years. Just BUY it !

I upgraded from a B660 motherboard to the Z790, because this was a great Warehouse Deal, and I am upgrading my CPU in the near future (come on Prime days!!). It fits like a glove, and it was, as far as I can see, never been opened, brand new. The savings were substantial and that already put me in a great mood. What do I not like about the board? Placement of the PWM fan headers could be better spread over the board. What do I like? Well, it is compatible with the LGA1700 Intel chips, and moving the CPU from one motherboard onto this one was a breeze. Because the board is bigger (full ATX) it fit my case snugly, there is still room to poke cables through and overall the cable management was easy. Except for one fan (exhaust) that sits way far from the fan headers, but it is what it is, and luckily I have extension cables. The manual is online, I did not find one in the box, and I printed off the page where I would connect the cables. Worked out perfectly fine. Some tight spots and I would really recommend, if this is the first time, to review some build videos either on Amazon or YouTube. I needed to order some extra motherboard mounting screws and PCI slot covers since the motherboard is larger and the video card is one slot lower. The software that came with the board is fantastic. GCC (management software) is to the point and is great in setting fan curves and setting the motherboard up the way you want it. XMP profiles are new to me, so I have not even attempted to overclock at this moment. Great motherboard and great prices, they go hand in hand. A worthy upgrade!!

motherboard. i have one. get one

I've had it for over a year and so far no problems. Not much to say really. My Specs: * Intel i5 -12600k * AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT * WIndows 11 * 64 GB DDR4

I use this machine for photography and video work (Photoshop, LightRoom, Topaz, etc.) So here's what happened: 1. I needed a new graphics card to meet the load Topaz can put on a graphics card. (Great software.) 2. Ordered Geforce 4070 ti (later returned it - black screen - and got the 4070 - long story) 3. Ordered the Z790 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 (DDR 4 is not a typo) 4. Ordered the i7 13700KF (no graphics unit on the chip) 5. Ordered the Corsair H115i adpator kit for the older cooler's bracket - these slightly longer standoffs work great. 6. Used my GSkill DDR 4 3200 RAM - 32 GB. 7. Used my EVGA 850 PSU. 8. Once I figured out I needed a PCIe 4.0 riser extension cable, all was well. (If you use the old PCIe3.0, you'll get black screen and pull your hair out on unneccesary trouble shooting. The picture shows the card in the PCIe 4.0 slot. When the cable comes in, I'll return the Card to the riser via the PCIe extension cable. ) This machine is grrrrreat!!!! Cinebench 23 score multicore is 29810. Monitor: BenQ SW 2700PT on Display port and Calibrated i1 Display Pro (XRite). Saved a bunch of dollars using a few older parts for this build.
