Xceed in DDR5 performance
GIGABYTE is committed to enabling the unparalleled performance of the Intel® Core™ 14th Gen processors. That is why every Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE motherboard is engineered with industry-leading technologies to achieve the best-in-class DDR5 performance on the market.

Achieve Higher DDR5 Memory Frequencies with Ease

DDR5 XMP Booster function provides optimized pre-defined profiles, based on memory IC and PMIC vendor analysis, for effortless performance enhancement and elimination of manual configuration for overclocked DDR5 memory kits.
Accelerate instantly
Boost memory performance instantly.

Streamline overclocking
Easily overclock Native and XMP 3.0 DDR5 memory to higher frequencies.

Automate input
No need to manually configure multiple memory parameters like clock, voltage, and timings.

Integrate database
Built-in database of pre-tuned profiles for different memory IC vendors.

Maximize DDR5 performance with your memory settings

SPD Re-defined or retrieve from database
Users can define two empty SPD profiles and transfer them to another computer.

Performance Simulation
Simulate memory performance quickly by inputting clock and timing parameters.

Save/Load Profile
Save and load memory profiles for online sharing.

Boost non-overclockable DDR5 memory frequency
Increase the frequency of non-overclockable DDR5 memory.

One-click Clear Profile
Reset memory settings conveniently.

Revolutionary DDR5 Technology
Maximize DDR5 performance with our advanced technology for an unparalleled gaming experience.

Shielded Memory Routing
Memory routing is shielded within the PCB’s inner layer to protect against interference.

Isolated Memory Routing
Memory routing isolated on a dedicated inner layer to prevent interference.

Impedance-Optimized Topology
Optimized memory trace width, length, and style lower the overall impedance between the CPU memory controller and modules, enabling higher DDR5 speeds.

Daisy-Chained Routing
Optimized routing eliminates the stub effect, enabling higher memory frequencies and providing professional gamers with a faster and denser system memory experience.

8L Server-grade PCB
Selecting server-grade PCB material minimizes signal loss within the PCB, ensuring high-speed transmission for DDR5.

Back Drilling Technology
Enhances signal integrity in high-speed PCB designs by reducing signal reflections and timing issues, thereby improving system performance and reliability.

Xtraordinary power delivery
The Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE motherboard is equipped with an all-digital power design to achieve peak performance of the next-gen processor while providing the best stability under heavy workloads.

Xpress your cool
Every Z790 AORUS XTREME X ICE motherboard is armored with the most advanced, full metal thermal design. These solid heatsinks are forged to keep your system cool while running fast.
