## Long description

GIGABYTE Z790 ATX motherboard with LGA1700 socket supports Intel 12th and 13th Gen processors and up to 4 DDR5 memory modules. It offers advanced connectivity including 2.5GbE LAN, Wi‑Fi 6E (AX211), multiple USB‑C ports, six SATA 6Gb/s ports and four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors. The board is engineered for high performance with a robust digital VRM, extensive thermal solutions including M.2 Thermal Guard III, and features for easy system building such as EZ‑Latch Plus and Q‑Flash Plus.
Advantages
The motherboard provides an advanced power delivery with a twin 16+1+2 digital VRM for sustained Turbo Boost and overclocking. DDR5 support with XMP 3.0 and shielded memory routing enables high memory frequencies, with tested overclocking up to and beyond DDR5‑7600. Storage and expansion are addressed by four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, triple Gen4 M.2 RAID capability and reinforced PCIe armor ready for future PCIe 5.0 GPUs. Thermal design includes large one‑piece heatsinks, multi‑cut channels and M.2 Thermal Guard III to prevent SSD throttling. Connectivity features 2.5GbE, Wi‑Fi 6E, front and rear USB‑C (10Gb/s front, 20Gb/s rear), DisplayPort and HDMI. Convenient utilities include EZ‑Latch Plus for screwless M.2 installation and Q‑Flash Plus for BIOS updates without CPU, memory or GPU installed.

How to use
Install the LGA1700 CPU and cooler according to the cooler manufacturer's instructions and secure the board in an ATX case. Populate up to four DDR5 SMD DIMMs and enable XMP 3.0 in BIOS to use certified memory profiles or use DDR5 Auto Booster to raise native frequency to 5000MHz under load. Install NVMe SSDs into the M.2 slots and, if desired, use EZ‑Latch Plus for quick, screwless M.2 installation. Connect storage to SATA ports and configure RAID in BIOS when using multiple Gen4 M.2 drives. For network connections enable the Intel 2.5GbE or Wi‑Fi 6E module and connect displays via DisplayPort or HDMI. To update BIOS without CPU, memory or GPU installed, save the renamed BIOS file to a USB drive and use the Q‑Flash Plus button as instructed.
Recommendations
For best stability and performance, use high‑quality DDR5 modules listed in the motherboard memory support list and ensure adequate case airflow to make full use of the VRM and M.2 thermal solutions. When installing multiple high‑speed M.2 SSDs, verify thermal pads or keep airflow directed over M.2 Thermal Guard III to avoid throttling.
