Socket and chipset

This motherboard uses the Intel Z590 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It accepts 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core processors as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron chips. The ATX form factor fits standard full-size cases.

Build and connectivity

The board provides three PCIe x16 slots wired for x16/x0/x4 or x8/x8/x4 operation. Six SATA III ports and three M.2 interfaces handle storage. Rear I/O includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port at 20Gbps, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports at 10Gbps, and additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Networking uses an Intel I225V 2.5Gbps LAN controller. Audio runs through a Realtek ALC4080 codec for 7.1-channel output. A WiFi antenna is included.

Memory capacity

Four DDR4 slots support up to 128GB of memory. Speeds up to 5333 MT/s are listed for overclocked operation across a wide range of frequencies. The maximum supported capacity of 128GB determines whether this board suits high-density workloads.

Questions about this item

Will this board run an 11th Gen Intel Core processor and still give me PCIe 4.0 on the primary x16 slot?

Yes. The primary PCIe x16 slot and the third x16 slot are wired to the CPU, so an 11th Gen chip enables PCIe 4.0 on those lanes.

What is the highest memory speed the board can reach with four DIMMs populated?

The validated overclock list tops out at 5333 MT/s; with four sticks you will typically hit lower speeds depending on the memory kit and CPU memory controller.

Does the package include everything I need to install the board in a standard ATX case?

The box contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield. Standoffs, screws and any additional cables come with the case.
