- Does it support Intel 14th-gen CPUs?
- Yes. The LGA 1700 socket and Z790 chipset cover 12th, 13th and 14th-gen Intel Core processors, though a BIOS update may be needed for the newest chips on older stock.
- Do I need a separate Wi-Fi card?
- No. The AX model has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in, so you only need an antenna, which comes in the box.
- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- It has several M.2 M-key slots accepting 2280 and 22110 drives, plus SATA ports for 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives.
- Is it good for overclocking?
- It handles mild overclocking and memory tuning, but the passive VRM cooling and modest power stages make it a weaker choice for high-voltage, all-core overclocking than premium Z790 boards.
- What memory should I pair it with?
- DDR5 only, in four slots, up to 256 GB. A two-stick kit at the speed you need is the safer choice for stability.
- Does it have USB-C?
- Yes, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps port on the rear and an internal Type-C header for a case front panel.
- Where is the Gigabyte Z790 D AX Motherboard cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $251.71, as of our latest check.
