LGA 1200 Micro-ATX Z490 Board

This ASUS ROG Strix motherboard fits LGA 1200 processors on the Intel Z490 chipset in a compact Micro-ATX layout. It supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across four slots. Integrated Wi-Fi is included for wireless connectivity.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The Z490 chipset and robust power delivery are designed to maintain stable operation during extended gaming or rendering sessions. Heat from the VRM area is managed by the board's heatsink array. Consistent airflow inside the chassis helps keep temperatures in check over long periods.

Pre-Order Compatibility Checks

Verify that your case accepts Micro-ATX dimensions and that the CPU cooler clears the VRM heatsinks. Confirm your power supply provides the required 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors. Ensure you have DDR4 modules to reach the desired capacity up to 128GB.
