Description
IGABYTE AORUS Z790I ULTRA
VRM Design and Memory Performance
To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance of Intel's new generation CPU, GIGABYTE AORUS series motherboards are equipped with the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components. This design focuses on unleashing the full potential of multi-core CPU performance and providing stable power for CPU integrated PCIe & Memory controller. Lower impedance capacitors reduce voltage ripple and maintain stable capacitance even under high temperatures. These components are strategically placed under the CPU area to stabilize CPU voltage during heavy loading. Furthermore, the motherboard supports Native DDR5 voltage control, transforming Native DDR5 memory modules to Overclocked DDR5 memory, thereby increasing DDR5 memory overclocking performance and capability. Users can easily overclock Native and XMP 3.0 DDR5 memory to higher frequencies without needing to input numerous memory parameters. The motherboard also features a built-in database of pre-tuned profiles for different memory IC vendors, facilitating quick memory performance simulations and allowing users to save and load their memory parameters.
ermal Management and Connectivity
Advanced Thermal Design and M.2 Thermal Guard III ensure VRM power stability and M.2 SSD performance, providing an optimal thermal environment for critical components. Additionally, EZ-Latch Plus M.2 connectors feature a quick release and screwless design for easy installation and maintenance. Fast network connectivity is provided by 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax, offering high-speed transfer rates perfect for gamers seeking an ultimate online gaming experience. Extended connectivity options include DP, HDMI, Front USB-C® 10Gb/s, and Rear USB-C® 20Gb/s ports, catering to various connectivity needs. Smart Fan 6 technology features multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality, allowing precise fan curve control and optimal cooling performance. Furthermore, the Q-Flash Plus feature enables BIOS updates without the need to install the CPU, memory, and graphics card, simplifying the update process and ensuring compatibility with future products.
ocessor Compatibility and Performance Enhancement
The motherboard supports Intel® Socket LGA 1700, accommodating 13th and 12th Gen Series Processors for unparalleled performance. It features a Direct 10+1+2 Phases Digital VRM Solution for efficient power delivery to the CPU. Dual Channel DDR5 memory support with 2SMD DIMMs and XMP 3.0 Memory Module Support ensures high-speed memory performance. Next Generation Storage is facilitated by 2PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Connectors, providing ample storage space and faster data transfer rates.
