GIGABYTE launched a new generation of AORUS Z790 X Gen motherboards. This series of motherboards supports Intel’s 14th-generation Core processors, with a special focus on “DDR5 performance, user-centred BIOS improvements, and innovative hardware enhancements”.
The new motherboards are said to deliver best-in-class DDR5 compatibility and performance, with XMP Auto Enhancement supporting XMP-8266 or higher rate DDR5 memory, allowing users to easily boost DDR5-5600 to 6000 with a single click.
The AORUS Z790 X Gen motherboard brings M.2 EZ-Latch Click as well as M.2 EZ-Latch Plus technology, which allows for M.2 heatsink installation without screws, greatly simplifying the M.2 SSD installation process. It also features PCIe EZ-Latch (Plus) technology to help users easily remove the graphics card.
In addition, the Z790 AORUS PRO X and B760M AORUS ELITE X motherboards feature an exclusive no-wire installation sensor panel. The Z790 AORUS XTREME X also features a 5-inch LCD Edge View display that shows real-time system information and custom images.
According to reports, the AORUS Z790 X Gen motherboards are designed to handle intense workloads and feature an all-metal cooling design. The AORUS XTREME X and AORUS MASTER X motherboards feature a VRM Thermal Armor Fin Array design, which expands the heat dissipation area by 10 times. The new motherboards are also covered with a carbon nano-coating for a further 10% improvement in thermal performance.
These motherboards also feature M.2 Thermal Guard technology on the XTREME and XL models to ensure optimal cooling for PCIe Gen 5 SSDs. Additionally, GIGABYTE states that its I/O ventilation design significantly reduces overall system temperatures by up to 7°C.
GIGABYTE has not yet announced pricing or a launch date for the new motherboards, but a source has released early pricing for GIGABYTE’s new motherboards with unknown credibility. The party information is expected to be revealed on the night of Intel’s 14th Gen Core processor release, so stay tuned.
