Introduction of Ming _ iCraft Z790 WiFi motherboard
Mingxun iCraft Z790 WiFi is an ATX board, with a motherboard size of 30.5 x 24.5cm, a black PCB, a silver-white black design on the surface, and a silver-white alloy heat dissipation armor. The contrast of the two colors forms a good color contrast effect, which supports the lighting effect of skylight RGB.
In order to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the new generation Z790 platform, iCraft Z790 WiFi is equipped with alloy heat dissipation armor, which can effectively reduce heat accumulation and ensure the stable operation of SSD. At the same time, the extended radiator can further reduce the motherboard temperature and enhance performance.
memory interface
The MG iCraft Z790 WiFi is equipped with four DDR5 memory slots, and its appearance is black. Adopt single-sided buckle design and support XMP technology. The maximum single memory is 64GB, the maximum memory capacity is 128GB, the frequency is 7000 MHz, and dual-channel mode is supported.
PCI-E slot and M.2 interface
ICraft Z790 WiFi provides PCIe 5.0 x 16 full-length slot, PCIe 4.0 x4 full-length slot, PCIe 3.0 x4 open slot and PCIe 3.0 x 1 slot, two of which are protected by metal casing. The PCIe x 16 full-length slot at the top is directly connected to the CPU, which adapts to backwards compatibility and supports PCIe 5.0 x 16 channels. The middle PCIe x4 full-length slot is PCIe 4.0 x4 channel, followed by PCIe x 1 channel, and the bottom PCIe x4 slot is PCIe 3.0 x4 channel. In addition to the number one position of PCIe, PCH also provides PCIe for three other positions.
Regarding the M.2 interface, this motherboard is equipped with four PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 interfaces, all of which support NVMe protocol and Raid array. The top M.2 interface is directly connected to the CPU and supports the length specification of 2242/2260/2280/22 165438. For most users, the PCIe slot and M.2 interface provided by iCraft Z790 WiFi motherboard are enough.
SATA and USB expansion ports
Xuanming iCraft Z790 WiFi is equipped with four SATA3.0 6Gb/s interfaces, and it adopts side plug design. All 90-degree rotations are placed on the right edge of the motherboard. You can also find three onboard shortcut keys under SATA interface to control RGB/ boot/restart quickly.
As for the USB expansion port, there is a front USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C expansion port and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 next to the 24Pin power supply port of the motherboard, and there are two USB 2.0 expansion ports at the bottom of the motherboard, one of which can be externally connected with two USB ports. Because there are two USB 2.0 ports, there is no need to worry that some water cooling needs to occupy USB 2.0 expansion ports, resulting in the loss of USB 2.0 expansion.
Back-end input-output interface
On the rear I/O end, Mingxun iCraft Z790 WiFi is equipped with a DP interface, an HDMI interface, four USB 2.0 interfaces and a USB3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C interface. Four USB3.2 Gen2 Type-A interfaces, two 2.5Gbps RJ45 network interfaces, five audio interfaces, an S/PDIF output optical fiber output interface and a WiFi antenna interface. Intel is also equipped with a wireless network card s AX2 1 1, which supports Wi-Fi 6E. In addition to the conventional 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, Intel also supports the 6GHz band, Bluetooth 5.2, and has its own magnetic attraction.
In addition, there is a BIOS flash button and a CLR Coms button. The BIOS Flash button can be written into the BIOS with one click, which is convenient and quick. You can follow the steps in the motherboard manual. CLR Coms button can clean up the data in CMOS, which is equivalent to removing button cell from the motherboard. Hold for 3 seconds.
Motherboard disassembly
After removing all the alloy heat dissipation armor of MG iCraft Z790 WiFi, you can see that the PCB of the motherboard is basically filled with materials. The fan interfaces of the motherboard are basically arranged in the upper right corner of the motherboard, and there is also a fan interface on the left side of the top M.2 interface. Various RGB expansion interfaces are in the upper right corner of the memory interface, which is quite friendly for players to install.
Mingxun iCraft Z790 WiFi motherboard adopts 19 1 phase power supply design, which can realize 400W power supply. The CPU core supplies 19 phase, and the core displays 1 phase. The power supply adopts ISL99390 chip, and the continuous current output is as high as 90A. The PWM controller powered by CPU and nuclear display is RAA229 13 1. It can also be seen that the auxiliary power supply is two-phase. AUX power supply adopts MPNX 8694 190 1 chip, and MPS M2940A is the PWM controller of AUX. The audio area of the motherboard is located in the PCB space in the lower left corner. The sound card of the motherboard is Realtek ALC 1220, and there are also five 3.5mm audio interfaces on the I/O backplane.
Introduction to BIOS
ICraft Z790 WiFi motherboard is turning on or restarting the system. When the screen is displayed, press quot to enter the settings. Press the key to enter the BIOS.
The BIOS interface of Mingxun iCraft Z790 WiFi is relatively simple and intuitive. * * * There are five functional interfaces, namely, main menu interface, option selection interface, option description interface, equipment status interface and operation instruction interface. The main menu interface has seven main menus. They are main, advanced, power supply, acceleration, startup, safety and exit. There are basic operation tips in the lower left corner, such as F7 giving up modifying and using the settings before modification, and F 10 saving and exiting are also common bios operations.
On the main page, we can see the parameters of most main hardware of the host, such as processor, graphics card, memory and so on. We can change the RGB lighting mode of the motherboard, and there are many lighting effects to choose from. Then drag down to find the system language option, which can be set to Simplified Chinese.
On the advanced page, you can set the processor parameters, the related information and configuration of SATA hard disk and NVME hard disk, and select the configuration and information of opening and closing FTPM and USB interface. For example, in the setting of processor parameters, you can choose to turn off the number of energy-saving cores of the processor.
On the power page, you can set whether to turn on the sleep function, whether to turn on the sleep function, whether to support the ErP function, the motherboard state when the motherboard is powered off and then on, whether to wake up by USB and timer when it is powered off/asleep.
Turbo page, for players who like overclocking, will probably come to this page often. On the overclocking page, you can choose the adjustment mode of P-core or E-core frequency doubling, CPU voltage adjustment mode, whether to turn on the memory XMP or not, or you can manually select the memory frequency, adjust the memory voltage and adjust the memory timing.
On the startup page, you can set the time for the motherboard to stay in the LOGO at startup, whether the BIOS turns on the keypad, whether the BIOS brushes the write protection function, whether the CPU 8PIN detection is turned on, whether the quick startup function is turned on, the boot system at startup, and the device that starts first.
On the security page, you can set the password to enter the administrator mode, set the password to enter the user mode, and set whether to turn on the secure boot.
Finally, exit the page. If necessary, you can choose to save current BIOS settings and restart, restart without saving currently changed BIOS options, restore factory default settings, save current options as user default settings, and restore user default settings.
Core i9- 13900K overclocking experience
Overclocking the Core i9- 13900K processor on the famous iCraft Z790 WiFi motherboard. The traditional method is to enter the BIOS to make detailed settings, but XTU software, the limit tuning utility provided by Intel, is also a relatively convenient and not weak choice. This time, we try to overclock the Core i9- 13900K processor in XTU software.
After our attempt, with the core voltage offset of 0.03V, we increased the core frequency of the P core of the Core i9- 13900K processor from 5.5GHz to 5.8GHz, and on this basis, it passed the AIDA 64 FPU baking machine stably. The overclocking capability of the motherboard is still ok, but it should be noted that at this time, because the working temperature of the processor has reached 100 degrees Celsius, which is too high, the actual frequency of the whole core of P core may not be stable at the highest turbine frequency. To fully tap the overclocking potential of Core i9- 13900K processor, a powerful radiator is essential.
