ASRock has been hard at work introducing a plethora of innovative new choices throughout its Z790 motherboard product line,along with all of the goodies you’d expect from a top-end motherboard
WIFI 7, 14th Generation CPU compatibility, and the gaming aesthetics that the PG brand is renowned for are all included on the Phantom Gaming NOVA motherboard, which is loaded with all of the most recent capabilities that you’d expect to see on a 2023 motherboard
Desktop central processing units (CPUs) based on the Raptor Lake-S architecture from Intel have compatibility with the LGA 1700 socket, which is also used by the Alder Lake CPUs
The Z790 PCH is based on the 14nm node and measures 98mm2, which is somewhat bigger than the Z590 PCH that is included on LGA 1200 socket motherboards
The new LGA 1700 socket has 500 more pin connections to the CPU, which enables more communication channels with the board itself
Additionally, it can accommodate the electrical pin configurations that are necessary to support 14th-, 13th-, and 12th-generation CPUs
The most recent CPUs for desktop computers will arrive in a box measuring 37.5 by 45.0 millimeters and will be supported by the ‘V0’ socket, also known as LGA 1700
In addition, the socket transforms the grid of mounting places from 75 by 75 millimeters to 78 by 78 millimeters. The Z-height is now 6.529 millimeters, down from 7.31 millimeters before
Many manufacturers of coolers have provided LGA 1700 conversion kits, which include mounting hardware for the new socket, in order to make their old coolers compatible with Intel’s array of Raptor Lake and Alder Lake central processing units (CPUs)
