Intel W790 Series Motherboards
Gigabyte W790 AI TOP Motherboard
The Gigabyte W790 AI TOP is the one W790 motherboard on this page. It is an E-ATX workstation board for Intel's LGA4677 socket, with eight DDR5 slots for up to 2 TB of memory, six M.2 slots, eight SATA ports and built-in Wi-Fi. It suits AI, rendering and simulation machines that need large memory and many drives.
W790 takes Intel Xeon W workstation processors, not Core desktop chips, and uses registered ECC DDR5. The E-ATX board needs a case with E-ATX mounting. Other Intel chipsets are on the Intel Motherboards page.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Core i9 processor be used on the W790 AI TOP? No. W790 boards accept Xeon W processors only, while Core i9 chips use LGA1700 or LGA1851 boards.
Does it take normal desktop DDR5? No. Xeon W platforms need registered (RDIMM) DDR5, so unbuffered desktop memory will not work.
