Socket and chipset

The board uses the LGA 1200 socket paired with the Intel Z590 chipset. It accepts 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. This combination determines whether your CPU will fit and which PCIe generation the top slot can run.

Memory capacity and speeds

Four DDR4 slots support a maximum of 128 GB. The board validates a long list of overclocked frequencies from 3300 up to 5333 MT/s. Buyers planning large memory kits should verify their modules appear on the qualified vendor list.

Connectivity and audience

Dual Intel LAN controllers provide 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps ports, while the rear I/O includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C at 20 Gbps. The ATX form factor and extensive PCIe layout suit builders who need multiple expansion cards and high-speed external storage. Users requiring integrated Wi-Fi or a smaller footprint should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What does the 128GB maximum memory mean for a real build?

You can install up to 128GB of DDR4 across the four slots, giving plenty of headroom for heavy multitasking or content creation workloads.

How does the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot behave with 10th and 11th Gen CPUs?

With an 11th Gen processor the top slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x16; with a 10th Gen processor it is limited to PCIe 3.0 x16.

What physical space and mounting pattern does the board need?

The board uses the E-ATX form factor, so it requires a case that supports E-ATX dimensions and the standard ATX mounting holes.
