luckily i didn't blind trust Pcpartpicker. It's my first build after 10 years.
here's the mobo support list
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-EAGLE-AX-rev-10/support#support-cpu
so i should avoid what is N/A even after F3d bios update. they won't support that CPU model?
and the Intel sup list:
https://compatibleproducts.intel.com/ProductDetails?activeModule=Desktop%20Processors&pcsr_num=i7-14700KF
I'm limited to z790 cause in my country the z690 has been bought out for the most part, (don't wanna spend extra.) and i really rather spend 20 bucks extra have it be compatibly out of box, than have to Q button Flash on an empty Mobo and possibly brick it, without my fault. And the B series mobo's won't oc a K series CPU.
I’m still fairly new to pc building but when reading through the manual for this MOBO, it states the main PCIe can only be utilized by either the GPU OR m.2. I currently have my WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe in the first spot that has the heat sinc that looks to share lanes with the PCIe 5.0. I currently have a 1050ti in that spot waiting on the new graphics card. It all seems to work.
My question is, do I need to move my m.2 to utilize all lanes for my GPU? Or is it ok to run both from that slot? Will I loose performance on either or both? Any help is appreciated.
I have a question, which motherboard to choose Gigabyte Z790 Eagle AX (rev. 1.0) or Gigabyte Z790 D AX (rev. 1.0). At the same time, the price of both motherboards is the same in my country. The processor will be i5 14600kf, in principle I could choose something from b760, it would probably be enough for me, but more or less motherboards with such a chipset cost the same as these two or even more expensive, and the Z790 chipset is logically better than b760, so the choice will be between them. And yes, I read the specifications and they seem to be identical to each other, but it is not for nothing that these are different versions of motherboards, so I would like to know their differences, and in general, which is better to take.
