Designed for 8th and 9th Gen Intel Core

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the LGA 1151 socket with Intel Z390 chipset to support 8th and 9th generation Core i7, i5 and i3 processors. Four 288-pin DDR4 slots accept up to 64 GB in dual-channel configuration at 2666 MHz. Onboard 802.11 ac Wi-Fi and USB 3.1 Gen2 add modern connectivity in a compact form factor.

Upgrade path from older 300 Series boards

The Z390 chipset brings native USB 3.1 Gen2 support and improved power delivery over earlier 300 Series designs, making the jump worthwhile when moving to 9th generation CPUs or when more M.2 slots are needed. Two M.2 sockets and six SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 give flexible storage expansion without sacrificing PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics lanes.

Sustained load behaviour

TUF Chokes, Capacitors and MOSFETs are rated for extended durability under continuous thermal stress, while FanXpert 4 adjusts cooling curves dynamically across headers. Realtek S1200A 8-channel audio driven by Japanese capacitors maintains signal integrity during long sessions, and ASUS OptiMem II trace isolation preserves memory stability at higher frequencies over time.

Questions about this item

What case clearance does the Micro ATX board need?

The board uses the Micro ATX form factor, so it fits any case that accepts Micro ATX or larger ATX motherboards.

How is the CPU installed on the LGA 1151 socket?

Lift the socket lever, align the processor triangle with the socket corner, place the CPU gently without force, then lower and lock the lever — the step often missed is checking that the notches sit fully before locking.

When will the DDR4 memory slots need attention?

The four 288-pin DDR4 slots only need attention if you upgrade capacity later; they support up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode.
