  • Supports 9th and 8th generation Intel Core processors
  • Dual-channel DDR4 with four DIMM slots for memory expansion
  • Intel Optane Memory ready for faster storage response
  • 12+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS for stable power delivery

Z390 AORUS Elite for 9th and 8th Gen Intel Core

The GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ELITE is an ATX motherboard built for Intel Core processors on the LGA 1151 socket. It uses the Intel Z390 chipset to deliver a feature set aimed at enthusiasts who want a reliable foundation for a high-performance desktop build. The board includes HDMI output and SATA 6Gb/s ports for storage connectivity.

Suited for DDR4 builds with four memory slots

This board suits builders planning a dual-channel DDR4 configuration across four DIMM slots and who value Intel Optane Memory readiness. It is not for buyers who need more than four memory slots, who require ECC memory support, or who are building with a processor generation outside the 9th and 8th Intel Core families listed in the specifications.

12+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS under load

A 12+1 phase digital VRM solution with DrMOS handles power delivery during sustained workloads, while the advanced thermal design with screw-mounted heatsinks helps dissipate heat over long sessions. This combination aims to maintain stable operation when the system is pushed continuously rather than in short bursts. USB 3.1 ports provide high-speed peripheral access throughout.
