Colorful launched Flagship iGame Z790D5 Vulcan W and Vulcan X Motherboards

Colorful has officially launched its flagship iGame Z790D5 Vulcan W and Z790D5 Vulcan X motherboards, which were first unveiled at COMPUTEX 2024. Available in striking white (W) and black (X) variants, these motherboards are designed to cater to high-performance gaming and content creation needs. With their E-ATX form factor, the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan models are packed with cutting-edge features, including USB4 40 Gbps connectivity and the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology.

Robust Power Delivery and Overclocking Capabilities

At the heart of the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan W and X motherboards lies a formidable 19+1+1 power phase design, incorporating DrMOS 105 A power stages. This robust power delivery system ensures that these motherboards can handle the demands of the latest Intel Core processors, including the 14th, 13th, and 12th generations. The inclusion of a dedicated LN2 Mode underscores Colorful’s commitment to extreme overclocking, providing enthusiasts with the tools needed to push their systems to the limit.

The server-grade 8-layer low-loss PCB design is another highlight, ensuring greater stability and higher overclocking headroom. This advanced PCB construction minimizes signal loss and enhances the overall reliability of the motherboard, making it a suitable choice for users looking to achieve stable overclocks.

Cooling and Aesthetic Enhancements

Cooling is a critical aspect of the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards, especially given their high-performance nature. To this end, Colorful has equipped these boards with high-performance fin-stack heatsinks on the VRMs, ensuring that the power delivery components remain cool even under heavy loads. Additionally, the bottom of the motherboard features a large heatsink that not only covers the M.2 slots and PCH but also incorporates a quick-release mechanism for hassle-free M.2 SSD installation.

Aesthetically, the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards are designed to impress. The Vulcan branding on the rear I/O cover is RGB-lit and fully customizable via the iGame Center app, allowing users to personalize their systems to match their style. The availability of both black and white variants ensures that these motherboards can seamlessly integrate into a variety of build themes.

Memory and Storage Capabilities

The iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards are equipped with four alloy-reinforced DDR5 DIMM slots, featuring thickened gold-plated contacts. These slots support dual-channel DDR5 memory, with speeds up to 7800 MHz+ when overclocked, making them ideal for users who demand the highest memory performance.

In terms of storage, the motherboards offer ample expansion options. The four M.2 slots support NVMe SSDs, with the top-most slot featuring a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface for maximum data transfer speeds. This slot also benefits from a large fin-stack heatsink, which keeps the SSD cool to maintain stable performance. The remaining M.2 slots utilize the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and are housed under a large heatsink armor, which can be easily removed using the quick-release mechanism. Additionally, the boards come with six SATA 3 connectors, allowing for extensive HDD configurations.

Comprehensive Rear I/O and Connectivity

The rear I/O of the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards is designed with both functionality and convenience in mind. It includes advanced features such as BIOS flashback and clear CMOS buttons, which simplify the process of updating and troubleshooting the BIOS. The I/O panel also boasts a plethora of USB ports, including two USB 3.2 Gen 1, six USB 3.2 Gen 2, and two USB4 40 Gbps Type-C interfaces. These USB4 ports are compatible with the Thunderbolt protocol, providing support for high-speed data transfer and video output.

Network connectivity is another area where these motherboards excel. The dual LAN ports (2.5G and 5G) support link aggregation, allowing for high-bandwidth and low-latency connections. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 further enhances the wireless connectivity options, making these boards well-suited for modern high-speed networking environments.

Additional Features for Enhanced Usability

Colorful has also included several advanced features in the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards to enhance usability, particularly for overclockers and enthusiasts. At the bottom of the motherboard, users will find a Safe Boot button, which provides access to safe boot options upon restart. Additionally, the LN2 Mode and Slow Mode switch are strategically positioned for those engaging in extreme overclocking. The dual BIOS switch, also located at the bottom, offers a failsafe and backup option, ensuring that users can recover their system in the event of a failed BIOS update or overclocking attempt.

With the launch of the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan W and Z790D5 Vulcan X motherboards, Colorful has delivered a flagship offering that combines cutting-edge technology with robust build quality. These motherboards are not only designed to meet the demands of high-performance gaming and content creation but also cater to the needs of overclockers who seek to push their systems to the limit. Whether in black or white, the iGame Z790D5 Vulcan motherboards are set to be a compelling choice for enthusiasts looking to build a powerful and stylish system.
