Micro-ATX Z490 for 10th Gen Intel

The GIGABYTE Z490M GAMING X fits a Micro-ATX chassis and takes 10th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1200 socket. The Intel Z490 chipset provides a 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and a 1 x PCI Express x1 slot for expansion cards. It is built for compact gaming or workstation builds.

128 GB DDR4 across four slots

Four 288-pin DDR4 slots support up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode. JEDEC speeds include 2933 and 3200; a long list of overclocked steps reaches 4400. The board also offers 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports and one M.2 Socket 3 M key connector accepting 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSDs.

DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI for integrated graphics

The rear I/O includes DisplayPort 1.4 with HDCP 2.3 and HDR, driving up to 4096x2304 at 60 Hz, plus an HDMI port. Networking uses an Intel I219-V 1 Gbps LAN controller. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1200 codec with 2, 4, 5.1 and 7.1-channel output and S/PDIF. Rear USB provides 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 memory modules work with the four 288-pin slots on this Z490M GAMING X board?

The board accepts DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across four slots running in dual-channel mode, with supported speeds from 2933 MT/s up to 4400 MT/s when overclocked.

How can I verify the Intel I219-V LAN controller is running at its full 1 Gbps link speed after installation?

Check the network adapter properties in the operating system or the router status page; both should report a 1 Gbps full-duplex connection when the cable and switch support it.

Which cables or adapters must I buy separately to use the M.2 slot and the six SATA 6Gb/s ports?

The M.2 slot takes 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 form-factor drives and includes a thermal guard; SATA data and power cables for up to six drives are not included.
