Just got this exact board, it was bundled with an i7-13700k. Hopefully I don't have any of the ram issues, but I'm glad I know that clear CMOS button exists now. Thank you for giving us an in depth look at the board!
Im planning on upgrading my set up and this motherboard was a part of it and im glad i found this video. you really helped answer some questions and even offer a good look at how to install it. im not good at installing parts. i look forward to watching the full set up video soon
I just finished a build with this MB. The M.2 heatsink is huge! Unfortunately it lost out to my Thermaltake Silent 12 cooler for space because it was so tall. It wouldn't allow the locking latch to clip down the cooler. Thankfully I had purchased a 1TB Crucial P5 Plus M.2 w/ a heatsink. I'm still tweaking but I'm really happy with this "work" computer. I've been "testing" with Starfield and Metro for the past week. I went with TeamForce (2x16Gb) DDR5 6000Mhz. The XMP profile had no issues with these and overclocked correctly with no issues other than I have no control over the RGB. 1 is stuck on wave and the other is pink. I did have a strange issue in Metro when I would walk away or looked away from a NPC I lost their audio. I had also lost the audio on the firearms. So it was like having a suppressor installed. Turns out it was from the Realtek audio driver updates. I had to switch the audio output from 5.1 surround sound back to stereo in order to correct it.
The upgraded revised Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X WiFi7 for a few extra dollars. All the M.2 slots can all be populated with no downgrade in lanes. Gen 5 m.2 wouldn't be worth it for a mid tier board plus better deals on Gen 4 m.2 with larger compacities like the Crucial P3 2TB. 8layer PCB upgrade on the X over the 6layer on the AX, AC1220 audio , 8200MT , completely toolless, WiFi7, revised Gigabyte Bio's.
Thank you so much for this AND for including clips of the BIOS - that's what I was hoping to see as I'm trying to decide between ASUS or this board and my only hiccup woulda been the BIOS but it seems pretty decent. Appreciate it! Very well done vid.
Just built a photo editing rig with this board; the docs say it has 1-2x2, and 1 2x4 cpu 12v connectors. No, 2-2x4; my PSU had the right plugs, but wish the official docs had it accurate. Nice board, the on-board audio is good, I'm running an 8gb v-board, getting good results after 2 days on line. As another poster, running it with i7 13700k; Noctua CPU cooler; had a bit of issue getting the fans to re-attach, but improvised and got them tight. Built into a Fractal Define 7 case.
Would one of the CPU brackets help with the cooling issue? The 1 dear Barrow has or 1 of the knock off ones that replace the existing CPU retention mounting bracket
I just built my rig with almost all the same hardware. Love the Lian Li case as well. Glad i watched your vid as i forgot to remove one of those protective strips on the nvme heatsink (the large one for multiple drives)...lol. Got that fixed quickly. Thanks!
At the end of the month, i will be ordering this board as well but the Elite AX ICE (white) version. I suppose there is no other difference besides the color right? Going for a white build with the Lancool III rgb, Corsair dominator,corsair white psu with white cable and the corsair h150i though i am debating myself if it´s worth it to pay 90 euros more to get the one with an LCD. I have to agree tho, placing the pump header at the bottom, was a dumb move. Wonder what they were thinking. Other than that, i do not see any downside to this board tho i am thankful for the bios reset tip in case i might need it !
@@TheProvokedPrawn My case can hold 3 HDD drives but I'm contemplating maxing out the SSDs in the motherboard and putting 3 HDDs in the case to get as much storage as possible. Someone told me the less power you're putting through your PCI-E pathways, which has little to do with Sata and more to do with Graphics card bandwidths. Anything past the first slot, and you're taking power from your PCI-E slots, so where you put your 4090Ti, you won't get full power to that.
Top m2 ssd does not make contact with thermal pad on the bottom. Have the same board. Ssd got to just above 55c after a short test with a wd black, up to 7000read 6000write.

May I know how to set up RAID 1 for 2 SATA SSD HDDs with Gigabyte Z790 Elite AX motherboard? If there will be some demos no matter with 2 NVME SSD or 2 SATA SSD would be great. Or any URL can provide such setup information and procedures ? hope you can advise 🙏
Question for ya. If I do put an SSD in the top slot will it bottleneck my GPU since it's in the same lane? Someone told me it would and now I didn't even bother using the slot.
Hello. I have the same board, and I also could not find information about the bottleneck in the very first top slot under the m2 ssd. I assembled a completely new computer, as a result I installed one disk in the first slot, the video card does not cut the lines, the RTX 4070Ti video card works in PCIe 16x 4.0 mode in full mode. So, you can safely install the most hot disks in the topmost slot. And it cuts down the speed, as I understand it on motherboards for AMD
@@Станислав-п4м5ф Thank you! So it only cuts down speed on AMD cpu's? That's interesting, I'll be sure to spread the word to some friends. Seems I'll have to open up my PC and put my m.2 in the top most slot. Hopefully I see some performance improvements :).
Hey TPP, nice video, what do you think about these contact frames for the socket 1700 platform, I was given one with my motherboard so fitted it but not sure if it makes a difference, also I see you peeled the label off your SSD before putting it in your motherboard, I've read these are special thermally conductive labels, have you done testing and found they a detrimental to the temps staying lower or something? Thanks
I haven't used a contact frame yet, but do plan to see how well they work and what difference they make. I have heard it can be significant but I believe that's a long term experience because the whole point is the CPU bends over time on the standard setup so cooling becomes worse long term but the contact frame stops that. Which is interesting. As for peeling the sticker, I actually did that for an experiment into whether you should. ruclips.net/video/YUJKyA-q7Zs/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm wondering if I should use the Q-Flash Plus option to update to the latest BIOS v before I install Windows on my SSD because of the Eclypsium issue with Control Center.
Ciao, buongiorno, ho le ventole (7) che sono un po' rumorose, ma, non so come fare a regolarle dal bios. Mi daresti un consiglio? Scheda Madre : Gigabyte aorus elite ax . Grazie
Did the same, but with 3060 (12gb). Its super fast and clean. And i did boosted it up to 6000 mhz. It started to load slower the PC, but inside - is actually better.
So I have a set of precision Phillips head screwdrivers and the 9/64ths seems to fit very well into the M2 heatsink screws, but they won't budge except for one. Seems like they were put on carelessly with a powered screwdriver during manufacturing. The handles on my screwdriver set are made for delicate work, not like the one you are using. What screwdriver do you use for the M2 heatsinks?
This is a very usefull video! I got this motherboard like a month ago and its working perfectly! I just have one question not so much related to the motherboard but the nvme ssd. I forgot to remove the plastick sticker on the ssd itself, and just placed on its heatsink case (it came with its own heatsink. Im using this as storage. is this going to cause me any kind of trouble? Thanks in advance for the help.
why risk anything? You placed plastic into something that was made to dissipate heat...which infers there will be heat in that location...plastic melts. Just take it out.
I have the same - my i7 13700 is cool enough with the peerless assassin air cooler BUT, and a big BUT, I do not game. I only use lightroom and photoshop so i don't stress CPU
Yes it will, I have it. Same mobo with 13700k and AK620. It fit and run cool enough, however a downside i have gotten with this set up is without Air conditioning room, the PC will overheat to the point of shutdown if both GPU and CPU usage are over 50%+
Why Ram on A2 and B2 slots? Why not A1 and A2 or A1 and B1 ? Is it due to Cooler space problem? I am going to build something like this, and my concern - while checking lots of reviews is that with coolers fixed, especially big Air coolers Ram will be littlie hard to put in all slots. So my question is which is the best slots for Ram (A2-B2 or A1-B1 or A1A2) Second if I am not planning for K, KF processors, does it worth to buy higher Mhz Ram (like i5 14500 only supports 4800Mhz, So any use to buy 6000Mhs Ram? ) Thanks
I have the same issue bro did you fix it what did you do? I have issues saying I didn’t have enough vram (I have a 3090) and games crashed and blue screens
I returned the £390 Aero G for this. the aero is giving me heart problems with the 4070 not running at anything over pcie 1.1 really strange issue nearly killed me
Thanks for the video. The audio doens't have much bass to it. Anyway to improve it? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. Anything else you'd suggest? Thanks!
@@eddiemattison7792 the thing that i hate about this motherboard is that i want to vertically mount my gpu to fix gpu sag, but doing so will make it impossible to plug things into other pcie slots unless ur not vertical mounting ur gpu

just got the gigabyte z790 aorus elite AX rev:1.2 but i cant find the exact latest BIOS for this , i see the REv1.0 1 and REv 1.1 even Rev 1.x but no Rev 1.2
1st SSD boot drive/OS on SATA port 2, Secondary HDD for storage on SATA port 4, slow boot when connecting Secondary. This I would love to hear how you understood what SATA to connect to
I'm debating between this board and the z790 master for a build, crazy that I see this video right before I pulled the trigger on the master z790 Would love to no your thoughts on the z790 vs this board.
I was just building a setup with this motherboard but i cant find a jfp1 input i have looked in the manual but cant find it there either can anybody who have this motherboard please help Me find it
I upgrading from 5900x and b550 Taichi and I bought i7-14700k and z790 aorus alite ax ddr5. Iam using my old aorus liquid cooler 360 not the water force Iam using the old bracket for intel and it worked but the temp is very high idle is 40c and in mid work is 80c and 90c and on load 103c should i get anew cooler or this cooler can handle it and go to buy lga 1700 new bracket Iam regreting the upgrade not so much performance from my old 5900x
They say life span of coolers are 5-10year but I wouldn't go over 5. For the bracket I would use a Thermalright ($8) or Grizzly frame ($30ish). Me i would test out the Thermalright for $8 before gettting a new cooler.
I’ve had some very bad experience with gigabyte mobos. When I got my first one all of the cpu pins were bent beyond repair. And the other had a screwed up ssd slot
Has anybody tried to run a 14th Gen i7 13700K on this MOBO? It looks like Aorus released an updated BIOS firmware recently that ensures compatibility, but wanted confirmation if anybody has tried this.
I just returned this mobo to Newegg I had problems with lan and Wi-Fi giving me bsod and it would only boot up with one rams stick vengeance 5600 but will force it down to 4800 even with XMP, what you think was wrong? I sent back the i7 12600K and the mobo. What I have to do on bios to make the mobo accept the ram stick?
i’m about to build a custom pc with seven hard discs 3.5 inch and all sata drives but what case would i need can someone send a link please to a good large pc case thanks
My wifi isn't working? Any tips? It's gold parts are on the back of the motherboard. But it's not popping up when i am downloading windows. How do i fix this
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks. I fixed it last night. All you need is a USB wifi router, then you download driver updates through their app. Now my new wifi works in my board
Hi! Awesome video I enjoyed watching because I, too, have this motherboard and will be doing a first build. I saw the memory specs during your video, and how they did not say 6400MT/s compatible. Now, I'm a little cautiously worried that my RAM won't work properly. I bought this ram, but haven't installed it yet. -VENGEANCE RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6400MT/s C32 Memory Kit... Is this going to not work? Thank you kindly if you might have some kind of answer. 🙏
Hi there. Tell me please: I have 2 mb gigabyte z790 AE ddr4 + i9 13900f and b760m gaming x ddr4 + i5 13600kf and in BIOS i don't see BCLK= 100Mhz (i get BCLK =99.75mhz) and in tweaker (f2) i don't see CPU BASE CLOCK! What should I do?
Are people having issues with ram speeds ? I have 6000 and bios on auto runs at 4800. Fortnite crashes after a while when Xmp or manually set to 6 k . Any help I’d appreciate
They do with the default setup. I just bout the "Thermalright Intel 12th/13th Generation LGA1700 Anti-Bending Buckle" for $11 and plan to install it w my 13600K on this mobo.
@@brucebob3190 Actually, having a cooler on the CPU is how they discovered the issue. The tests I remember seeing on Gamers Nexus were done with the same cooler (whatever kind they used) in both cases, and they showed the differences in contact surface via a heat map between the default mechanism and the Thermalright part installed.
@@brucebob3190 Not sure about warranty, but you should def get one. Once you place it on and see how securely it fits you will understand how simple a design it is. My 13600K idles under 30C and barely ever hits 60C. Love it.
The only difference between the Auros Elite AX and the Gaming X AX is the Auros has slightly better WiFi, some additional RGB and more support for RGB connections. Other than than its the same board. About $25 in price.
I bought this but it seems impossible to install an M2 SSD. The screws on the heatsinks are glued in or something, it seems impossible to unscrew them. It works with a SATA SSD but I really wanted to use M2 for optimal performance. I don't know what to do.
Hi, Bro can you please suggest a 600-700$ future-proof PC build with GPU. Please reply it's a request. It's a bit confusing between AMD & Intel. I will be using it for Gaming & Work

it's the Lian Li Lancool 216 ruclips.net/video/fNNJSLP5sTU/видео.html
Great vid. I've just bought one of these and an i7 13700. Do you know if a ak620 cooler will fit on this motherboard?
I have the same - my i7 13700 is cool enough with the peerless assassin air cooler BUT, and a big BUT, I do not game. I only use lightroom and photoshop so i don't stress CPU
Yes it will, I have it. Same mobo with 13700k and AK620. It fit and run cool enough, however a downside i have gotten with this set up is without Air conditioning room, the PC will overheat to the point of shutdown if both GPU and CPU usage are over 50%+
Why Ram on A2 and B2 slots? Why not A1 and A2 or A1 and B1 ? Is it due to Cooler space problem? I am going to build something like this, and my concern - while checking lots of reviews is that with coolers fixed, especially big Air coolers Ram will be littlie hard to put in all slots. So my question is which is the best slots for Ram (A2-B2 or A1-B1 or A1A2) Second if I am not planning for K, KF processors, does it worth to buy higher Mhz Ram (like i5 14500 only supports 4800Mhz, So any use to buy 6000Mhs Ram? ) Thanks
6:00 can't you plug the pump in CPU_OPT port?
Can I install an i9 14 processor after updating the Bios? Does it work well without problems?
I have the same issue bro did you fix it what did you do? I have issues saying I didn’t have enough vram (I have a 3090) and games crashed and blue screens
I returned the £390 Aero G for this. the aero is giving me heart problems with the 4070 not running at anything over pcie 1.1 really strange issue nearly killed me
Thanks for the video. The audio doens't have much bass to it. Anyway to improve it? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. Anything else you'd suggest? Thanks!
plug in a sound card
@@kon0212 Yep, I figured that was my next step, thanks.
@@eddiemattison7792 the thing that i hate about this motherboard is that i want to vertically mount my gpu to fix gpu sag, but doing so will make it impossible to plug things into other pcie slots unless ur not vertical mounting ur gpu
@@kon0212 So, there are other motherboards that are designed better for that..
@@eddiemattison7792 yep, tho they too have their issues, I've looked at one that doesn't have Ethernet built into it, or just has bad/faulty Ethernet, etc
just got the gigabyte z790 aorus elite AX rev:1.2 but i cant find the exact latest BIOS for this , i see the REv1.0 1 and REv 1.1 even Rev 1.x but no Rev 1.2
wish i watched this before getting all my parts lol now i need a bracket for the back of the board 💀
Yup I’m there with you !!!!!
will I need to worry bout the aio cooling cable not being long enough? If I’m using the kraken 360
I liked this review but didn't hear or havn't seen anything related to its amp-up audio and codec
Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind in future.
I installed 4 sticks of ddr5 6500mhz on this motherboard is that okay considering your saying it only goes up to 6000?
I also manage to run my 4 dims at 6400mhz over XMP with this motherboard.
After several failed attempts, the solution was to reinstall windows 11
Could you please explain how did you set the bios? Profile xmp auto or disable? Did you use system memory multiplier? Voltage?
@@joseone91 Could you please explain how did you set the bios? Profile xmp auto or disable? Did you use system memory multiplier? Voltage?
@@joseone91 what was wrong with your Windows 11? Why did you install it again?
did you use the lianli rgb controller for al the fans or did you connect everything on the motherbord?
did you have problems installing the aio cooling?
1st SSD boot drive/OS on SATA port 2, Secondary HDD for storage on SATA port 4, slow boot when connecting Secondary. This I would love to hear how you understood what SATA to connect to
People say there is horrible coil wine? Also, ok to install boot ssd in single slot (cpu) above the gpu? Thankz
I'm debating between this board and the z790 master for a build, crazy that I see this video right before I pulled the trigger on the master z790
Would love to no your thoughts on the z790 vs this board.
are you an overclocker? if so then the master is the better choice
@theprovokedprawn can you run a GeForce rtx 3060 oc edition ventus 2x with this motherboard pls answer!!
I was just building a setup with this motherboard but i cant find a jfp1 input i have looked in the manual but cant find it there either can anybody who have this motherboard please help Me find it
Is there a conflict with using name ssd at the top losing pcie lanes to the GPU
I upgrading from 5900x and b550 Taichi and I bought i7-14700k and z790 aorus alite ax ddr5.
Iam using my old aorus liquid cooler 360 not the water force
Iam using the old bracket for intel and it worked but the temp is very high
idle is 40c and in mid work is 80c and 90c and on load 103c
should i get anew cooler or this cooler can handle it and go to buy lga 1700 new bracket
Iam regreting the upgrade not so much performance from my old 5900x
They say life span of coolers are 5-10year but I wouldn't go over 5. For the bracket I would use a Thermalright ($8) or Grizzly frame ($30ish). Me i would test out the Thermalright for $8 before gettting a new cooler.
If I use the top nvme port, can I still get 16 lined to the graphic cards PCI 5 bus ?
I’ve had some very bad experience with gigabyte mobos. When I got my first one all of the cpu pins were bent beyond repair. And the other had a screwed up ssd slot

Has anybody tried to run a 14th Gen i7 13700K on this MOBO? It looks like Aorus released an updated BIOS firmware recently that ensures compatibility, but wanted confirmation if anybody has tried this.
I just returned this mobo to Newegg I had problems with lan and Wi-Fi giving me bsod and it would only boot up with one rams stick vengeance 5600 but will force it down to 4800 even with XMP, what you think was wrong? I sent back the i7 12600K and the mobo. What I have to do on bios to make the mobo accept the ram stick?
I know ram slots are A2 and B2 aka 2nd and 4th from CPU, Bios maybe not current, even possibly incompatible if not on QVC list
Im also building my pc with I5 13600k and this mobo with 4070ti till now do you faced any issues in this Board please let me know it will be helpful
what type of standoffs does one use to attach this motherboard to a CorsairR motherboard ?
So we're you able to get the furybeast 6000 mhz memory to run at 6000 mhz?
Yes
@ I see its on qvl list. I have a i712700k so I was looking at this board. Is the x worth buying over ax or pro x?
what is the vertical video card adapter used ?
Moving from a 10600k to a 13600k later in the year. I don't need or want to pay for wi fi, so options are limited.
i’m about to build a custom pc with seven hard discs 3.5 inch and all sata drives but what case would i need can someone send a link please to a good large pc case thanks
I have this board with a 13700k it’s nice but I can’t figure out how to run a raid 0 with though
How are the temps with this board
My wifi isn't working? Any tips? It's gold parts are on the back of the motherboard. But it's not popping up when i am downloading windows. How do i fix this
ruclips.net/video/i5SgqcjyZdU/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks. I fixed it last night. All you need is a USB wifi router, then you download driver updates through their app. Now my new wifi works in my board
please tell this time work with the i9-14900k 14th i order it but i’m seeing is compatible with 13th generation
Hi! Awesome video I enjoyed watching because I, too, have this motherboard and will be doing a first build. I saw the memory specs during your video, and how they did not say 6400MT/s compatible. Now, I'm a little cautiously worried that my RAM won't work properly. I bought this ram, but haven't installed it yet. -VENGEANCE RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6400MT/s C32 Memory Kit... Is this going to not work? Thank you kindly if you might have some kind of answer. 🙏
Is it working ?
@@quiche1936 YES SIR! but I think even with xmp enabled im getting 4200MHZ. xmp does enable, but possibly i need to change some bios settings.
Hi there. Tell me please:
I have 2 mb gigabyte z790 AE ddr4 + i9 13900f and b760m gaming x ddr4 + i5 13600kf and in BIOS i don't see BCLK= 100Mhz (i get BCLK =99.75mhz) and in tweaker (f2) i don't see CPU BASE CLOCK! What should I do?
chatgpt
Would this build run smoothly with a gigabyte RTX 3070 8GB OC, intel i7 13700F, and G.Skill 32GB 6000Mhz Ram?
For that type of build you should seriously reconsider getting a more powerful GPU to get the most out of your system.
What is the difference between ax and ax-w?
Are people having issues with ram speeds ? I have 6000 and bios on auto runs at 4800. Fortnite crashes after a while when Xmp or manually set to 6 k . Any help I’d appreciate
Does it support i5 14600k?
Should do but you might need a bios update
Okay hmm I got the same mobo and ddr5 6,000 so it should work just lower it ?

Can I use Corsair Vengence DDR5 6400 RAM on this board?
I would say no. I’m trying now and it won’t post
@@ronniecortez1460 So I have built my rig, using the gaming x ax and the ddr5 32gb 6400 and it’s working fine. I was also able to enable xmp.
do we need cpu contact frame on this mobo ?
i want to buy a new pc build too how about the intel i9 ?? thanks should i go for the intel i9 ????? thanks lots…………..
Do you think its better than the NZXT N7 Z790?
better
Supports 14th gen as well?
yes
Awesome build! Which monitor are you using in this video?
It's a 27 inch LG 4k monitor but I bought it so long ago I can't remember what the model number is 😂
Does 13900k or 13600k processors bend in z790 motherboards ?
They do with the default setup. I just bout the "Thermalright Intel 12th/13th Generation LGA1700 Anti-Bending Buckle" for $11 and plan to install it w my 13600K on this mobo.
@@TedBroganI was looking at your comment and wondering, wouldn't it not be an issue once you had a cooler on it?
@@brucebob3190 Actually, having a cooler on the CPU is how they discovered the issue. The tests I remember seeing on Gamers Nexus were done with the same cooler (whatever kind they used) in both cases, and they showed the differences in contact surface via a heat map between the default mechanism and the Thermalright part installed.
@@TedBrogan I might get one, got the 13900k about to go into this board, will it void warranty?
@@brucebob3190 Not sure about warranty, but you should def get one. Once you place it on and see how securely it fits you will understand how simple a design it is. My 13600K idles under 30C and barely ever hits 60C. Love it.
Does this Mobo support 14th gen 14700k?
Same issue how did you solve
does this support 14th gen cpu's like the i7 14700k?
Yes but you'll probably need a bios update.
My board do not get picked up by GCC so NO rgb control etc
Have you tried just downloading RGB Fusion instead?
Is this compatible for core i7 14900k?
Yes
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks!

This or gigabyte z790 gaming x ax?
no that's a complete different card - but they are the same series Z790
The only difference between the Auros Elite AX and the Gaming X AX is the Auros has slightly better WiFi, some additional RGB and more support for RGB connections. Other than than its the same board. About $25 in price.
I bought this but it seems impossible to install an M2 SSD. The screws on the heatsinks are glued in or something, it seems impossible to unscrew them. It works with a SATA SSD but I really wanted to use M2 for optimal performance. I don't know what to do.
Hi, Bro can you please suggest a 600-700$ future-proof PC build with GPU. Please reply it's a request. It's a bit confusing between AMD & Intel. I will be using it for Gaming & Work
that is impossible
Maybe you could find a prebuilt with a 3060 in it
There's difference between Aorus Elite Z790M to Z790M AX?? I've searched a lot and nothing...
i9 14900k prosser suported motherboard plz yas &no
Nice Mobo
You need to buy the X if you want a Marvell 10G network card. F this piece of crap.
