An amazing quality board with great features!
If you’re using a 14900k and want a refreshed LGA 1700 board, this is the one to get. I went through issues with the ASUS Dark Hero and the ASRock Phantom Gaming Nova. I had one Dark Hero arrive with a crack in one of the DIMM slots and the other with a failing audio chip. The ASRock Nova was dead on arrival, so I decided to give GIGABYTE a chance, and I’m beyond happy I did. The motherboard is gorgeous and built like a tank. It has excellent functionality, especially for my needs. The bios has been drastically improved and is extremely easy to navigate, which is a vast improvement from what I remember. I have no issues other people have reported on, like coil whine or the motherboard not recognizing all the available RAM. The QC on mine is flawless. There’s not one complaint on my end. It’s running my 8000mhz 48 GB RAM kit at 7600mhz using an XMP profile with minor voltage changes with no errors on MemTest, and I’m using the Instant 6HZ feature to automatically OC my CPU. I’m using a thermal grizzly contact frame and a kryosheet. I couldn’t be happier with the performance of this motherboard. I will now consider GIGABYTE boards in the future, given that they have won me over with the Master X.

Nearly perfect
i9-14900K, RTX4090, 96GB 6800MT/s RAM
Used Q-Flash+ to pre-update BIOS to F5G from GB site.
Absolutely no problems.
Best points: 10 GB LAN. Wi-Fi 7, tons of rear USB, power delivery, many nvme, ez latch thingy for GPU slot, and from my personal experience Iâm expecting Gigabyte longevity ( six builds over 12 years not a single hardware issue), fantastic benchmarks and real-world performance .
Negatives: Gigabyte Windows utilities remain sub-par, 5v power on a USB port (eg from a hub) prevents startup from power-off (not restart or power on from a power-on shutdown) – my Z390 Master had the same issue. I replaced the ILM with a coolright clamp and wish the backplate was attached to the board (easily fixed with tape).
In summary, I donât think thereâs a realistically better LGA1700 board.

Bent CPU Socket Pins
Looks to be a really nice motherboard and I was excited to get my new PC built and put the system through its paces. Unfortunately, I never even got to install the CPU because I received a board with bent pins on the CPU socket. I should have checked the motherboard before I started my build, but I was so excited to get my new PC built that I didn’t open the motherboard until I was ready to install the CPU and put the motherboard into the case, only to find the socket has bent pins.
I mean come on Gigabyte, a $550 motherboard should not be making it out the door with something as obvious as bent pins on the CPU socket. Thats a lack of quality control or employees not doing their job and it needs to be remedied. Im usually not upset about defects as I understand this stuff is man made and it happens, but a 550 dollar motherboard with something as obvious as bent cpu socket pins should not be making it out the door to customers hands. Thats infuriating.
Im returning this one for a refund and have placed an order for the same motherboard in the meantime. Once I receive it and get it installed, I will update this review accordingly.

Heavy duty high end board
Heavy and packed with features. This is one of my favorite Z790s. It looks amazing and overclocks well.

A beast of a board.
In my previous builds, I always tried to keep it simple and less expensive. This time, I wanted something more. More is what I got. This monster has a large number of USB slots, 4 of which is usb-C. 1 front, 3 in the back. This was one of the reasons I selected this board as I have a lot of toys that need connecting. In addition it also has 5 NVME M2 slots. I’m not one for downloading, installing and needing to uninstall when I want to play something different. I’m also a developer, so my tools take up a lot of space as well. Storage is something I can never have enough of. I haven’t dove into a lot of the features of this board yet, but I’m excited to give it a go. If you are looking for connectivity and a beast of a board, this is the one.

Third times the charm
I was looking for a switch from A”sus” products so I went ahead and tried Gigabyte after using a different board in my nephews computer build. I pick up this z790 master x and swapped out my z690 maximus hero. Worked great for a few weeks then started having internet drop out issues and stability problems did all the troubleshooting and sent it back to Amazon, 2-3 weeks later get refund order new board and this board was anything from new, the entire product was used so horribly bad thermal paste everywhere even had bent pins so again.. sent it back….. Ordered a third board and I could already tell this was an actually new product did quick install and everything working right.
So TLDR it took 3 tries before I got a working one from Amazon.
Amazons QC needs some work if there was a spot to rate that then I would lol.
Overall board is great!

The Aorus Z790 Master X mobo offers terrific feature.
Built very well but did not even try to work properly. No boot. I have built my own computers for over 30 years and used Asus boards with no issues. The Gigabyte Aorus Z790 Master X was what appeared to be the ideal board for me but as it turned out a complete waste of time. No operator manual, internet site was advertising only and no solutions. Online help was slow acknowledging request and offered no assistance. After weeks of working with the build, following generic help online and calling a Microsoft certified program tester, I gave up. Too bad I think this board could be a winner but unfortunately not for me. Back to Asus hope they are as dependable they have been in the past.

My experience with the motherboard was frustrating.
I will not deny that it has great features, but when compared to Asus products, there is a difference.
In my experience with Asus boards, I did not encounter any problems when connecting via LAN or Wi-Fi.
However, with this board, the matter is different. As soon as I received it, I was unable to connect to the internet, so I had to bring an external network connection USB and connect it in order to be able to connect to the internet, and thus download the necessary drivers and updates. This is a point in favor of Asus, as they provide an external USB with all the necessary drivers for the motherboard.
Also, it is worth mentioning that I did not find the instruction manual inside the motherboard box, which is supposed to be present.
Frankly, I was very disappointed with this board and I am seriously considering returning it if it does not suit me.
Updated …
The process of returning the product to the seller has begun
I would like to add a point regarding the USB drive installation. the MSI also has that in most product.
Also, the thermal pad that is placed under the heatsink is of poor quality, especially the heatsink for the M.2 PCIe 5.0 port.
