GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE
The GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE is a modern motherboard designed for 14th, 13th, and 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors. Its design is built on a 12+1+1 phase digital VRM solution with high-quality MOSFETs and a 6-layer PCB with a doubled copper layer, which guarantees high power efficiency and reliable operation under load. DDR5 memory support delivers extreme transfer speeds and overclocking capabilities without complex configuration. The board features a rich selection of ports including DisplayPort, HDMI, 2.5GbE LAN, and a 10 Gb/s USB-C. Q-Flash Plus technology lets you update the BIOS even without a processor or memory installed, while Smart Fan 6 provides precise fan control based on temperature sensors. The improved UC BIOS interface offers a clear environment for system management, performance tuning, and fan settings. The audio section with Hi-Fi audio capacitors ensures a clean and realistic transmission without interference.

Stable power and high performance
The advanced Twin Hybrid Phases Digital VRM power solution ensures precise voltage control and optimal performance under any load. Low RDS(on) MOSFET technology improves efficiency and reduces heat generation. The high-quality power delivery system, along with Solid Pin connectors, supports stable operation and increases component lifespan. This makes the board ready for the full performance of modern processors, even during intensive multitasking.
DDR5 memory and advanced cooling
DDR5 memory support delivers higher frequencies and more efficient voltage management. The DDR5 XMP Booster and XMP 3.0 features simplify performance tuning with predefined profiles, enabling quick and optimal settings without manual configuration. Thermal stability is handled by an enlarged MOSFET Heatsink with TMOS technology, which improves heat dissipation by up to three times compared to standard solutions. It also includes an M.2 Thermal Guard, which prevents SSDs from overheating and ensures stable storage performance.
