Intel Z390 ATX motherboard for LGA 1151 CPUs

This board uses the Intel Z390 chipset and fits the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 8th and 9th generation Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. Four DDR4 slots support up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode. The ATX form factor suits standard desktop cases.

Integrated I/O shield and multi-phase VRM cooling

An integrated I/O shield simplifies installation and removes a loose part. A 12+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS is cooled by multi-cut heatsinks and a heatpipe. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports and two M.2 sockets (2242, 2260, 2280, 22110) handle SATA and PCIe x4 storage. HDMI 1.4 outputs 4096x2160 at 30 Hz. Realtek ALC1220-VB audio delivers 114 dB rear and 110 dB front SNR.

Check CPU generation, cooler clearance

Verify the processor is an 8th or 9th generation LGA 1151 model; earlier 6th and 7th generation chips are not supported. Ensure the CPU cooler fits around the VRM heatsink array. Confirm M.2 drive lengths match the 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 keys before purchase. The package contains only the motherboard and I/O shield.
