NEW!! I bought this cause I don't know anything better. So far it is good. Does what I need.
14th gen will work just fine out of the box. However i did update the bios after i installed Windows. Currently running a I9-14900kf. No issues so far. The board is heavy. Very good quality.
It works. I've had the best luck with MSI boards working and not having to return them.
-As of October 2024 purchase, it came with BIOS version 3/26/2024. It recognized the Core i3 14100 processor without any issue. Didn't need to put a 12th gen Core processor in to do any BIOS update. -From the above bulletpoint, my box had a "Next Gen CPU Ready" sticker on it probably to indicate it has the updated BIOS version to support 13th and 14th gen Core processors. -Compact size and has Wi-Fi card already included. -High quality -2x ARGB 5v headers for your LED lights -Integrated video output if you don't want to add a dedicated video card. (VGA, Displayport, and HDMI)
Excellent, strong in every sense of the word, and has all my needs
very nice mobo has 6 m.2 slots and a proper igpu lane which is why i wanted to upgrade from the z790 apex encore other than for cudimm ram OC. Im glad theres finally an XOC mobo with a proper igpu lane that ill use with tb4 unlike last gen where i didnt have the option
I really was amazed about this motherboard . It had some purple on it and really had everything you would need on it including a start and reset button right on the board awesome!!
I have been building PCs for about 20 years now and I finally gave in to purchasing a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS MASTER X motherboard, and let me tell you, it's a game changer. The performance of this motherboard is nothing short of spectacular. I paired it with a 14th gen CPU, it is very fast and handles even the most demanding tasks. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or working on intensive projects, this motherboard does it all. I never got into overclocking, but I decided to give it a try with this motherboard. The BIOS is very easy to navigate, and makes the entire process very simple to do.
Easy to install, has three m.2 slots
Its perfect
Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.
- Visual appealing - Ample USB and M2 ports - Excellent build quality
