GIGABYTE has continued to push a white aesthetic (ICE) across a good number of displayed products on the show floor at this year's CES. The TPU crew got a close peek at a couple of new motherboard offerings—first up is the Taiwanese manufacturer's Z790 AORUS PRO X model with a white PCB and matching livery. The "X" designation denotes that this motherboard is good-to-go with Intel's latest 14th gen desktop CPU offerings. Their AORUS Z790 X Gen Motherboards boast "leading performance in DDR5 memory, the upgraded DIY-friendly innovations, and the all-new BIOS redesigned as user-centered, the AORUS Z790 X Gen Motherboards are built to fully unleash the next-gen power."
According to GIGABYTE's placard this white Z790 model features a 18+1+2 Twin Digital VRM design on an eight-layer PCB, VRM Thermal Armor Advanced with an 8 mm heatpipe, as well as Thermal Guard XL and Ext. for M.2 slot cooling purposes. EZ-Latch Click and M.2 EZ-Latch Plus are present, therefore creating a "seamless" DIY experience. Wi-Fi 7 connectivity (with an Ultra-high gain antenna) ensure that cutting-edge wireless standards are catered for.
