Thank you for posting this excellent review of Gigabyte's Z790 motherboards. I agree with your conclusions. Pricing does seem unreasonably inflated. On the Asus motherboard side, I built a system with the "ProArt Z790 Creator Wifi" earlier this year and it is a very solid performer. I used a 13th generation processor and I do not feel a need to update to the 14th generation. This is a very high quality review. Thanks again for all your work to provide this.

built-in properly supported 10Gbe nic can be worth 100€ extra, so Master X is definitely the only "futureproof" board from the lineup, ASUS will have to push down prices of Z790 ProArt/Creator boards to remain competitive, I wonder what happened with Gigabyte's AERO D and AERO G lineups?

Regarding the master X...if you add a Gen 5 in its slot, I am lead to believe the Video GPU slot drops form 16pin to * pin reducing the Video cards performance, can anybody clarify that ? Stupid having hig end CPU and Board Gen 5 and high end GPU to find the drops in performance as you added a Gen 5 NVm

@TechTesters 7 ай бұрын

The GPU will run in x8 instead of x16 mode when an SSD is installed there, but that isn't a limitation of the Master X / Gigabyte, but one of Intel: This applies to all these motherboards. It also makes maybe a 1-2% difference in some scenarios, so if you really need that M.2 Bandwidth, you're probably OK with paying that price.

@brianmoore7856 7 ай бұрын

Hive Mind Question: I just got an unopened Z790 Aorus Master for a build I'm going to put together. I also have a Intel 14th Gen CPU I was going to put in it. 14th gen is supported via a bios update. However this new Master X version supports 14th gen natively and so I'm wondering how much importance that has vs a bios update for the Master. Short version: Is it worth returning the Master and getting the Master X?

@aqeel77za 7 ай бұрын

As far as I know then Z790 master is limited to 13th gen. Im speaking under correction. The X series was specifically brought out for the 14th Gen. Go for the X gen... Its newer and has better features.

@Hybriqlol 4 ай бұрын

So to be exact as far as i know you need to Flash The BIOS for The 14.th Intel CPUs to be able to Run correctly but Overall The aorus master should Run them as well.

@MeMyself-gf7fn 5 ай бұрын

DDR5 is very significant for gaming especially since NIVIDA just started changing their drivers to utilize RAM for overflow basically meaning your maxed graphics loads will be locked to RAM speed in effect. So 8000 oc DDR5 will actually be noticeable and 15th gen sockets completely do away with DDR4 altogether. So it is a refresh, but it's actually a significant one and more than RAM as well, such as PCI5 etc. but that's too much to write here.

Yet when you go to the gigabyte website to see the specs, these boards only support up to ddr5 4800. Not even the current ddr5 5600. Sure they take higher frequencies but only via OC. Me really don't understand...

@TechTesters 7 ай бұрын

Pretty sure most their spec pages mention 7000/8000+ MHz, like most brands, technically everything over Intel spec is "OC". I haven't had any issues with most 6000-7200 MHz kits via XMP.

@rafars2246 7 ай бұрын

@@TechTesters Maybe I just don't know. I just go by specs. If the current intel CPU supports up to DDR5 5600, I go and purchase that, since overclocking is really not worth it. But then all manufacturers, except for Gigabyte, will tell you they support all the way to DDR5 5600, matching the CPU and chipset; and the rest is OC. So still weird to see Gigabyte setting their non OC limit to DDR5 4800. And because of that I wonder if the ram performance would be different. Gigabyte would do the same as other manufacturers when advertising DDR4 specs, so again is very strange the way they are doing things now.

Makes one wonder what the maximum performance increase would be compared to a midrange Z590 board from 2021. I think an overclocked midrange from 2021 would compare to a Z790 stockspeeds. Yet i can not deny the bottlenecks which cause the GPU RTX 40 series to throttle/break at highspeeds (75%). At stockspeed on a I5 11600k, this goes up to 25%. Which is a major drawback since one would not get the maximum out of their GPU performance. On top of that, the RTX4070TI is already its own bottleneck with a memory bandwidth of 192-bit instead of 384-bit. So all in all, with a i7 1470k, new DDR5 XMP2 or better with high frequency/lowest possible latency, PCIe 5 and the fastest M2 SSD you can get, performance increase should be quite noticeable across the board. Assuming water-cooling comes at hand so we can test it as its own max clock speeds within stable limits.

@MaZEEZaM 4 ай бұрын

😭I was REALLY hoping someone would look into the included DAC and Audio aspects of the EXTREME version but the only reviewer who even mentioned its inclusion said they know nothing about audio and didn't bother including it in the review. Even Gigabytes own vieo fails to directly menion it, only including dac twice in the list when talking about the i/o Very disappointing.

@mgaming7 7 ай бұрын

I bought the Gigabyte Aorus Pro X for a 14700k. I wish I had went Asus Rog Strix E gaming. The bios is better and the on board sound is WAY better on Asus.

@MeMyself-gf7fn 5 ай бұрын

That's because most people that have the money to build one of these usually have their own sound card or more often such as you case, use a DAW to handle all of their audio. If you buy studio monitors (speakers) you would never plug those into any onboard graphics, you would use a card or DAW, so they probably just save that money and invest it elsewhere on the board because they know their enthusiast market will probably be using a good monitor and audio device if they are investing in one of these boards.

@MeMyself-gf7fn 5 ай бұрын

Edit: I meant such as my case I use a DAW and I meant on-board audio, not graphics. If you are currently using onload audio, from either company, stop. Definitely get a sound card or even better a DAW. My DAW, a MOTU-6 sits right next to me and it makes everything sound amazing, inculding my headphones because not only is the sound processed at a higher level than any on-board could ever hope to be, the headphones also have an Amp on the output which makes an unbelievable difference, plus all the audio controls are right next to me and everything is ran through two wires instead of 20. Definitely never use on-board audio sway your decsion, just get like a Scarlett 2 or MOTU 2, which are cheap and good enough and forget about on-board audio altogether.

From my point of view, Gigabyte makes a big mistake with the common single piece of M.2 heatsink. That's why I have to lean to Asus motherboards. Also no producer was able to provide a Z790 chipset based motherboard to support simultaneous Gen5 M.2 SSD and PCIEX16 slot running at x16 like X670E AMD chipset based motherboards supports.
