Installation
We used a Hyte Y70 (non-touch) chassis which has plenty of room, so installation wasn’t a problem. We also mounted the Gigabyte Aorus WaterForce X II 360 ICE AIO cooler, which fitted nicely without issues.
BIOS
There are two BIOS modes on the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS elite X WiFi 7 motherboard … Easy Mode and Advanced Mode. The Easy Mode allows you can monitor all the system status on this page such as fan speeds, CPU temperatures, memory and processor speeds, as well as voltages.
In the Advanced Mode, there are a lot of options available for tweaking your processor, memory speeds and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here.
During our tests, we left everything on AUTO/Default. All we did was to make sure that XMP was enabled to ensure that the ram was running at DDR5-7200 speeds.
Users can also configure other settings for CPU, chipset, storage and NVMe, as well as onboard devices such as USB, TPM, onboard devices and more.
