Our take on the Gigabyte Motherboard Z790 AORUS ELITE AX WIFI

The Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX WIFI is an ATX board for Intel's LGA 1700 socket, pairing a 16+1+2 phase VRM with DDR5 support across four slots. It covers the essentials of the Z790 tier: PCIe 5.0 for the graphics card, multiple M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5 GbE LAN. It sits in the value end of premium Z790 boards, so it skips extras like Thunderbolt and a second PCIe 5.0 slot that costlier rivals carry. Reviewers rate it as a solid, well-cooled board for 12th to 14th gen Core builds, with the caveat that its rear I/O and audio codec are ordinary for the class.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners generally rate the board as a dependable mid-range Z790 pick, praising its power delivery, cooling and built-in networking. Criticism centers on the plain rear I/O, average audio and the lack of Thunderbolt, which some see as gaps next to similarly positioned boards.

What people mention
  • Power deliveryPraisedOwners report the VRM holds up under sustained loads without throttling.
  • NetworkingPraisedWi-Fi 6E and 2.5 GbE LAN are seen as welcome built-ins that save an add-in card.
  • Rear I/OCriticisedReviewers call the USB port selection modest for a board at this level.
  • AudioMixedThe onboard codec is serviceable but not a standout next to premium rivals.
  • BIOSPraisedUsers describe the BIOS as easy to navigate, with Q-Flash Plus helping CPU-less updates.
  • SoftwareCriticisedSome owners find Gigabyte's control utilities intrusive and prefer to skip them.

Questions and answers

Does this board support Intel 14th gen CPUs?
Yes. The LGA 1700 socket covers 12th, 13th and 14th gen Core processors, though older boards may need a BIOS update first. Q-Flash Plus lets you update without a CPU installed.
Can I use DDR4 memory with it?
No. The board takes DDR5 DIMMs only, across four slots. Plan your memory kit around DDR5 from the start.
How many M.2 drives can I install?
It has several M.2 M-key slots for 2280 and 2260 drives, with the primary position heatsinked. Check the manual for which slots share lanes with SATA ports before filling them all.
Is PCIe 5.0 available for the graphics card?
Yes, the main PCIe x16 slot is PCIe 5.0. The remaining expansion slots run at PCIe 4.0.
Does it have Wi-Fi and Ethernet built in?
Yes. Wi-Fi 6E and a 2.5 GbE LAN port are integrated, so no add-in networking card is needed.
