Z490 Aorus Ultra Motherboard

The GIGABYTE Z490 Aorus Ultra is an Intel LGA 1200 motherboard built for 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core processors. It targets enthusiasts who want a high-quality power delivery system and comprehensive connectivity for a performance desktop build. The board includes integrated Intel WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 plus 2.5 GbE LAN for fast networking.

12+1 Phase Digital VRM With 55A DrMOS

A direct 12+1 phase digital VRM uses 55A DrMOS to supply clean power to the CPU during extended heavy workloads. Next-generation VRM cooling fins, a direct-touch heatpipe and a nanocarbon coating work together to dissipate heat effectively. This thermal arrangement helps sustain boost clocks without throttling when the system runs under load for long periods.

Shielded Memory Layout And Triple M.2 Guards

Shielded Xtreme memory routing with a tantalum polymer capacitor array protects signal integrity across four DDR4 DIMM slots. Three M.2 slots each receive an Aorus thermal guard to keep storage temperatures in check during sustained transfers. Builders who need more than three M.2 drives or who require ECC memory support should look at alternative platforms.

Questions about this item

How does the 12+1 phase VRM with 55A DrMOS and nanocarbon-coated heatpipe handle heat during all-day loads?

The direct-touch heatpipe and VRM cooling fins array are designed to dissipate heat from the 12+1 phase digital VRM with 55A DrMOS, helping maintain stable temperatures during extended operation.

Which components are confirmed in the box so I know what else I need to provide?

The package includes the motherboard, I/O shield, and original box; all other accessories such as cables, Wi-Fi antennas, or M.2 screws are not guaranteed.

Will my DDR4 memory kits work with the shielded memory design and four DIMM slots?

The board supports dual-channel unbuffered DDR4 across four DIMM slots with a shielded layout and tantalum polymer capacitors for signal integrity.
