This is my feature review of the Gigabyte Z790 Elite AX motherboard. A surprisingly affordable motherboard that packs in some really decent specs with four NVMe ports, PCIe gen 5 GPU support, WiFi 6E and much more besides, all for a very affordable price frankly. In this video I'm unboxing it and showing the setup process for the motherboard as I went about building it in the Lian Li Lancool 216 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNNJSLP5sTU I was surprised to see just how well this motherboard performed considering it's price. Highlights include: - The potential to RAID multiple PCIe gen 4 drives at x4 speeds - Support for DDR5 RAM upto 76000 MT/s - Multiple 5V and 12V RGB headers (perfect for my RGB build) - understated design aesthetic but not understated features - Decent bios settings options Lowlights: - Some problems with XMP causing boot loops - RGB complaints Please note links listed here include affiliate links which may earn me a commission.
