GIGABYTE Z790 UD Motherboard, Intel LGA 1700 (14th/13th/12th Gen), DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 2.5GbE LAN, Triple M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, Ultra Durable | Z790 UD

The GIGABYTE Z790 UD is part of the legendary Ultra Durable™ series, built with top-tier components to ensure a long-lasting and stable platform. Utilizing the Intel Z790 chipset, this motherboard is designed to unlock the full potential of Intel’s hybrid architecture. Whether you are overclocking memory or running intensive multi-threaded applications, the Z790 UD provides a steady power supply and advanced thermal management to keep your system running at peak efficiency.
 

Advanced Power & Thermal Engineering
To support the power-hungry 14th Gen processors, the board features a 16+1+1 Phase Twin Hybrid Digital VRM solution with 60A DrMOS. This is complemented by an enlarged MOSFET heatsink and 5W/mK thermal pads to dissipate heat quickly. The 6-layer & 2X Copper PCB further enhances thermal conductivity and signal integrity, ensuring that even under heavy workloads, your system remains cool and stable.
 

Next-Gen Storage and Graphics
Future-proof your build with PCIe 5.0 support. The primary PCIe x16 slot offers double the bandwidth of previous generations, ready for future high-end GPUs. Storage is handled by three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors, one of which is protected by an M.2 Thermal Guard to prevent high-speed NVMe SSDs from thermal throttling. For easy hardware maintenance, the PCIe EZ-Latch design allows for quick and tool-free removal of large graphics cards.
 

High-Speed Connectivity & Smart Features
Stay connected with Realtek 2.5GbE LAN, providing significantly faster data transfer speeds than standard Gigabit Ethernet—perfect for online gaming and large file transfers. The rear I/O includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® port for 20Gbps speeds. Additionally, Smart Fan 6 technology gives you granular control over your cooling with multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers, while Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS without even installing the CPU or RAM.
 

Why the GIGABYTE Z790 UD Stands Out
LGA 1700 Native: Full support for 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Intel Core processors.

DDR5 Overclocking: Support for high-frequency XMP 3.0 memory profiles up to 7600+ MT/s.

Ultra Durable Armor: Reinforced PCIe 5.0 slot to support heavy, modern GPUs.

Studio-Grade Audio: High-end audio capacitors and noise guard for immersive sound.
