ASUS PRIME Z490M-PLUS LGA 1200 Motherboard

The ASUS PRIME Z490M-PLUS is a new Intel Z490 motherboard built for LGA 1200 processors. It supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory in a Micro ATX form factor. The package includes the motherboard, a metal battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel.

Suits compact Intel builds needing Z490 features

This board fits builders who want Z490 chipset capabilities in a smaller Micro ATX layout with four memory slots for up to 128GB DDR4. Buyers requiring original retail packaging or a full accessory bundle should look elsewhere, as the box contains only the listed items.

128GB DDR4 maximum memory capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 128GB DDR4 limit across the board's memory slots. If your planned configuration needs more memory than this, the board will not meet the requirement.
