GIGABYTE Z790 S WiFi DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel Z790 ATX Motherboard with DDR4, Triple M.2, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, 2.5GbE LAN, PCIe EZ-Latch, Multi-Key

One user wrote that the motherboard doesn’t support video out unless you pair it with the correct CPU and that Gigabyte is at fault. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT. Gigabyte is NOT AT FAULT!!The motherboard doesn’t support video not control video output. It merely supports it. the CPU CONTROLS VIDEO OUTPUT IF YOUR COU HAS A VIDEO CONTROLLER IN THE CHIP! If it doesn’t then the Mobo cannot support it if it’s not available! Plain and simple!I am willing to bet this user had purchased an Inten i7 processor with the suffix of “F” because those are cheaper the the ones that do have integrated graphics. The intel processors with “F” in the name DOES NOT have ANY integrated graphics so therefore the mobo cannot support it if it doesn’t have it. Make sure you have a graphics cardOf ANY kind to make your pc send video out! It’s that simple! GIGABYTE IS NOT AT FAULT!

This is a solid motherboard for 12th to 14th gen Intel cpus, especially for retrofitting an older system to run Win 11. I paired mine with an i7 12700KF, RTX 3060, added two Samsung NVME drives (1 TB 980 Pro and 2TB 990 EVO Plus), two existing SATA drives (4TB each), two existing SATA optical drives (DVD-RW and BD-RW), and 32GB of DDR4 3200 RAM. Everything works as it should. My only complaint is that the Gigabyte software could be better. It is just okay and not as smooth as could be. I've been building PCs for over 25 years and this was easy enough. I am cooling the cpu with a Thermalright PA120. As for overclocking, It does it, but the headroom on air cooling just isn't worth it in my opinion. 5.0 GHz is not that impressive when stock turbo is already 4.9 GHz. I also like my cpus to run under 70 C under full load. This is also using an old Antec 900 case with USB 3.0 and a 620W Antec PSU. I am upgrading from an older Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H that had an i5-3570K that was OC'd to 4.5 GHz on air cooling (CM Hyper212). That was nice headroom to OC back then.

This board was on the more affordable end for a Z790 chip. But it has everything and more than I need. 1 thing, when attaching the MOBO USB 3 socket to the front tower connector cable, I had to remove the USB 3 cable to re-do some wire routing, and the plastic clip that locks the motherboard pins to the front adapter pulled off of the board. It did just snap right back on and into place over the pins on the board, and the front USB 3 works fine. But that was a little alarming. I have built a couple dozen computers and have never seen that happen. But nothing really came of it so I'm fine with that right now. Really nice heatsinks integrated on VRMs also. Another thing is that if running an M.2 on the CPU pcie lanes, the board will not be able to run a GPU at the same time. So, the M.2s will need to be installed on the chip lane sockets that it has if you run a discrete GPU. And, there are no built in heatsinks for the M.2s installed on the chip lanes, only for the CPU pcie lane M.2. So, get an M.2 with built-on heatsinks if running M.2 on the 2 chip sockets.The WIFI runs almost as fast as my other system that is using an ethernet port on a MSI tomahawk max wifi gaming board. Saw the wifi speed hit over 500mbs, but a lot of that is your internet provider and distance to your wifi router etc. But the potential is there.Actually, very happy with the MOBO. Just a couple of those small details make it miss a 5 star.The BIOS is a very nice set up also. With advanced or simplified UI option, and all of the overclocking TWEAKER options that I like Gigabyte for. Not perfect, but I would buy it again at that price and if you are not rich person, but you need the 790 chip, I would very much recommend it to anyone.

I installed this motherboard a few days ago, and so far everything has been working perfectly. The installation process was smooth, all components were detected right away, and the system booted up without any issues. The build quality feels solid and reliable. Although it’s only been a short time, I’m very happy with the performance so far. It looks like a great purchase, and I’d definitely recommend it based on my initial experience.

Has a very elegant design style when close lookup.The bios battery is place at a more user friendly place compared to other motherboard.Provide access to install beep speaker and has Debug LED which is pretty useful for troubleshooting.

This MB does not have onboard video as stated in the manual. The ports only operate if you have the correct Intel CPU with integrated Graphics. The manual states "onboard video depends on intel cpu" well you only put an intel CPU in an LGA1700 socket. This is deceptive practice for those that do not know. Gigabyte is at fault. This is a horrible stain on what has been a great product. This board may be a great motherboard, but it is wrong.
