The Gigabyte Z790 D DDR5 LGA1700 ATX Motherboard suits builders pairing Intel 12th, 13th or 14th Generation processors with a DDR5 memory platform who want solid storage expansion without reaching for a top-tier board. It addresses the need for a well-featured Z790 foundation — with three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, 2.5GbE networking and a capable digital VRM — at a mainstream price point.

Why this product

12+1+1 Phase Digital VRM

The twin digital power stages use Low RDS(on) MOSFETs and a one-piece TMOS heatsink with up to 3× larger surface area, helping keep VRM temperatures in check under sustained CPU loads.

Three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Slots

All three M.2 connectors run at PCIe 4.0 x4, giving room for fast NVMe storage across the board. M.2 Thermal Guard heatsinks help prevent throttling.

DDR5 with XMP 3.0 Support

Four DIMM slots accept up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory. XMP 3.0 profiles let compatible kits run at higher frequencies without manual tuning of clock, voltage and timings.

2.5GbE Wired Networking

The onboard 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port delivers noticeably higher throughput than standard 1GbE, benefiting large file transfers and NAS access on compatible networks.

Q-Flash Plus BIOS Update

The dedicated Q-Flash Plus button lets you flash a new BIOS from a USB drive without a CPU, memory or graphics card installed — useful when preparing for a new CPU generation.

Smart Fan 6 Fan Control

Multiple temperature sensors feed the Smart Fan 6 system, which supports hybrid fan headers and FAN STOP to allow fans to idle completely at low temperatures.

  • Compatible with Intel 14th, 13th and 12th Generation Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors using the LGA1700 socket.
  • Accepts DDR5 DIMM modules only — up to four sticks, with a maximum of 256 GB total (64 GB per DIMM).
  • Fits standard ATX cases; board dimensions are 30.5 cm × 24.4 cm.
  • Full DDR5 overclocking up to 7600 MT/s (O.C.) is supported only on 14th and 13th Gen Core i9/i7 processors; 13th Gen i5/i3 and all 12th Gen processors are limited to 4800/4400 MT/s.
  • Not compatible with DDR4 memory — the board uses DDR5 DIMM sockets only.
  • Does not support AMD processors; the LGA1700 socket is Intel-specific.

Best for

  • First-time DDR5 builders who want XMP 3.0 support, broad CPU compatibility and a straightforward BIOS flashing tool without paying for a flagship chipset.
  • Storage-heavy workloads where three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports provide capacity for mixed NVMe and SATA drive configurations.
  • Home or small-office networking where the onboard 2.5GbE port offers a step up from standard Gigabit without adding a separate network card.
  • Builders who run integrated graphics from a compatible Intel CPU, since rear outputs include both HDMI and DisplayPort.
  • Enthusiasts who upgrade CPUs across generations and value Q-Flash Plus, which allows BIOS updates before a new processor is seated.

Trade-offs

  • High-end overclocking on 12th Gen or lower-tier 13th Gen CPUs — those processors are limited to 4800/4400 MT/s and cannot use the board's higher DDR5 O.C. profiles.
  • Builders who already own DDR4 memory — the board has no DDR4 slots and DDR4 kits cannot be reused.
  • Workloads requiring ECC memory in error-correcting mode — while ECC Un-buffered DIMMs are accepted, the board operates them in non-ECC mode only.
  • Users needing onboard Wi-Fi — no wireless networking is listed in the specifications, so a separate adapter would be required.
  • Compact or small-form-factor builds — at 30.5 cm × 24.4 cm this is a full ATX board and will not fit Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX enclosures.

  • Durable Performance — GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ motherboards built with optimal components inside out provide the prime performance and timeless platform.
  • Digital VRM Design — The best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components. 12+1+1 Phases digital PWM + Low RDS(on) MOSFETs. Support the latest CPUs, and deliver enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware scalability.
  • Shielded Memory Routing — All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.
  • Impedance Optimized Topology — By optimizing memory trace width, length and style from HPC simulation to actual implementation, overall impedance is lowered between CPU memory controller and memory modules to achieve higher DDR5 speed.
  • Low Signal Loss PCB — Server grade mid-loss or low-loss PCB material is chosen to lower signal loss inside PCB and maintain DDR5 high speed signal transmission.
  • Secure Mode — Motherboard provides fixed 5V to Native DDR5 memory and built-in PMIC outputs locked 1.1v to memory IC. Unlocks Native DDR5 PMIC secure mode into programmable mode and controls Native DDR5 voltage with wide range. Supports all PMIC vendors for maximum compatibility. * Memory overclocking capability will vary based on users' hardware configuration.
  • Unlock DDR5 — DDR5 Overclocking Up to 7600 and Beyond*. GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform with extreme memory performance boost. * Memory overlocking and XMP profile support may vary depending on hardware configuration.

  • SPD Re-defined or retrieve from database — Users can define two empty SPD profiles and transfer them to another computer.
  • Performance Simulation — Simulate memory performance quickly by inputting clock and timing parameters.
  • Save/Load Profile — Save and load memory profiles for online sharing.
  • Boost non-overclockable DDR5 memory frequency — Increase the frequency of non-overclockable DDR5 memory.
  • 3X Large Surface — Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
  • Real One-piece Build — TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors' multi-piece design.
  • The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.
  • 2X copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
  • Q-Flash Plus — With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the CPU, memory and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you're good to go!
