LGA 1200 Z490 ATX motherboard for 10th Gen Intel

The GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS ELITE AC uses the Intel Z490 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It supports 10th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. Four DDR4 DIMM slots run dual channel up to 128 GB. A direct 12+1 phase digital VRM with 50 A DrMOS feeds the CPU.

Advanced thermal design

Optimised surface heatsinks cover the VRM and both M.2 slots. The board provides two M.2 connectors (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110) for SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSDs. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports support RAID 0/1/5/10. One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots handle expansion cards.

Integrated Intel Wi-Fi 802.11ac.

Rear I/O includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, four USB 2.0 and HDMI 1.4. Front headers add one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and four USB 2.0. Realtek ALC1200 delivers 7.1 channel audio. Q-Flash Plus updates BIOS without a CPU installed.
