The salient mentioning is PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and LGA1700.
The motherboard is shipped inside a colorful box. *The power design is 16+1+2 not 12+1+1 Packaging And Unboxing Box We have ample USB connectivity with up to 17 connections including the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port on the rear I/O. GIGABYTE has done a better design on the Intel side though there are platform differences which would contribute to these design differences. I remember complaining about 2x PCIe Gen 3 slots which are rated for X1 speed only on the B650 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard. The network connectivity is provided on a dedicated Gen 3 PCIe bus which is a good design. The BIOS and TPM modules are wired to the chipset. Enabling this port on X4 will disable the 2x SATA ports. There are three more M.2 ports which are on Gen 4 bus and rated for X4 speeds but one M.2 port labeled as M2M_SB shared the bus with the 2x SATA ports. The chipset is connected to the CPU socket using PCIe x4 bridging. There is a HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity options form the CPU which is applicable for DDR5 version of ELITE series motherboard. However the actual supported frequencies are higher but require BIOS update. The DDR5 support of up to 5600MHz is mentioned. There is no native support from CPU for the USB ports. This motherboard supports PCIe x16 Gen 5 slot. We can see that the CPU is providing native support for 1x PCIe x16 slot on Gen 5 bus whereas 1x NVMe x4 port is on Gen 4 bus. The above picture shows the block diagram of the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard. Q-Flash Plus：Update BIOS Without Installing the CPU, Memory and Graphics Card.Smart Fan 6：Features Multiple Temperature Sensors, Hybrid Fan Headers with FAN STOP.Extended Connectivity：HDMI, DP, Rear USB-C® 20Gb/s, Front USB-C® 10Gb/s.Fast Networks：2.5GbE LAN & Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax.EZ-Latch：PCIex16 Slot & M.2 Connectors with Quick Release & Screwless Design.Advanced Thermal Design & M.2 Thermal Guard：To Ensure VRM Power Stability & M.2 SSD Performance.Next Generation Storage：3*PCIe4.0 x4 M.2 Connectors.Dual Channel DDR5：4*SMD DIMMs with XMP 3.0 Memory Module Support.Unparalleled Performance：Twin 12*+1+1 Phases Digital VRM Solution.Intel® Socket LGA 1700：Support 13th and 12th Gen Series Processors.Let’s start with the salient features of the motherboard: We are taking a look at the mid-range segment motherboard from GIGABYTE in Z790 chipset series which is GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ALITE AX.Īwards Received By GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
This generation of the Core processors use the same LGA1700 socket hence we have compatibility of 12th gen Core i processors on the 13th gen and vice versa. They have introduced new chipsets for this generation peculiar of which is Z790. While the tech testers were busy in testing the AMD Zen 4 platform, Intel has released their 13th gen platform named Raptor Lake.
One M.2 port shares the bus with 2x SATA ports.
