Target system

This ATX motherboard fits Intel Core 9th and 8th Gen processors in the LGA 1151 socket. It delivers a Z390 platform for enthusiasts who want overclocking headroom and multi-GPU flexibility in a standard chassis.

Memory ceiling

Four DDR4 slots accept up to 128GB in dual-channel mode with supported speeds from 2133 to 4400(OC) MHz. Builders who need large capacity or high frequency can populate all slots without changing boards.

Sustained operation

Extended heatsinks on the power delivery and M.2 areas spread heat during long sessions. The Intel I219-V 1Gbps LAN and Intel Wireless-AC 9462 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi maintain stable throughput when the system runs hot.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR4 4400 OC rating mean once the board is built?

The board can run memory at 4400 MHz when overclocked, but only with a compatible CPU and modules; standard speeds start at 2133 MHz.

How fast is the Intel I219-V LAN and Wireless-AC 9462 in practice?

Wired tops out at 1 Gbps; wireless reaches 433 Mbps on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz with MU-MIMO receive.

What clearance does the extended heatsink need for a CPU cooler?

The board measures 12 x 9.6 x 1.2 inches and uses standard ATX mounting holes; check cooler specs against the heatsink height.
