Performance
GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Elite X AX has Twin Digital VRM design leverages 16 VCORE phases and 70A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle 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.
Power Delivery
The GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Elite X AX features a twin 16+1+2 phases digital VRM solution with 70A Smart Power Stages. This means that the motherboard has 31 power phases in total, which is more than enough to power even the most demanding processors. The Smart Power Stages are also more efficient than traditional MOSFETs, which helps to reduce heat output and improve overall performance.
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Elite X AX’s fully covered VRM Thermal Armor Advanced heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard L, 8-layer copper PCB, 7 W/mK Thermal Pad, and 8mm heatpipe 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.
Networking
The GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Elite X AX features a 2.5GbE LAN port and Wi-Fi 7 with Ultra-high gain antenna. The 2.5GbE LAN port provides up to 2.5x faster speeds than standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, while the Wi-Fi 7 provides up to 3.2x faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6. The Ultra-high gain antenna helps to improve signal strength and range.
