Intel Z490 ATX motherboard for LGA 1200 CPUs

This ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-F GAMING board uses the Intel Z490 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It accepts DDR4 memory up to 128 GB. The ATX form factor fits standard full-size chassis. It ships as a new unit with an I/O back panel and one SATA cable.

Suited for builders moving to a 1200-pin Intel

The board matches systems that require the Z490 chipset and LGA 1200 socket. It is not for buyers who need a different socket, a smaller form factor, or integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It is also not for anyone who wants a sealed retail package with every original accessory.

128 GB DDR4 maximum capacity

Four DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory. This ceiling decides whether the board can hold the memory kit you plan to install. Check your module density and kit size against this limit before you buy.
