Socket and generation fit

This motherboard uses the LGA 1200 socket and the Intel Z590 chipset. It accepts both 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core processors. The chipset choice determines feature support such as PCI Express 4.0 lanes and memory overclocking headroom.

Memory ceiling by CPU generation

With an 11th Generation Core i9, i7 or i5 installed, the board can run DDR4 non-ECC un-buffered modules up to 4800+(OC) across four slots in dual-channel mode. A 10th Generation processor limits that ceiling to 4666+(OC). Maximum capacity is 128 GB.

Bundled WiFi 6E module

A WiFi 6E module is supplied pre-installed in the dedicated M.2 Key E socket. It adds 802.11ax wireless and Bluetooth connectivity without consuming a PCIe slot or a rear-panel USB port. The module uses the CNVi interface provided by the chipset.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR4 4800+(OC) figure mean when I install an 11th Gen Intel Core processor?

With an 11th Gen Intel Core i9, i7 or i5 the board can run DDR4 memory up to 4800 MT/s when overclocked; actual speed depends on the CPU memory controller and the modules you fit.

How does the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot behave when I use an 11th Gen versus a 10th Gen processor?

An 11th Gen CPU enables PCIe 4.0 x16 on the primary slot; a 10th Gen CPU limits that slot to PCIe 3.0 x16 while the second x16 slot runs at Gen3 x4.

What size M.2 drives fit in the Hyper M.2 socket and what keying is required?

The Hyper M.2 socket accepts M-key modules in 2260 or 2280 form factors; it supports PCIe Gen4 x4 only with an 11th Gen Intel Core processor.
