Z390 Chipset LGA 1151 Board

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z390 chipset and fits LGA 1151 processors from the 9th generation Core, Pentium and Celeron families. It targets builders who want a full-size board for a mainstream Intel desktop platform.

128GB DDR4 Capacity and Dual-Channel Layout

Four memory slots support dual-channel DDR4 up to 4400MHz and a total of 128GB. The board handles large multi-tasking workloads and content-creation projects, but memory speed above the rated ceiling and capacities beyond 128GB are not supported.

PCIe 3.0 Lanes and Connectivity Limits

Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide expansion for graphics and add-in cards. One M.2 slot with E key accepts only an Intel Wireless-AC CNVi module. Six SATA III ports and two M.2 interfaces handle storage, while the rear I/O supplies two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports at 10Gbps and eight USB 3.1 Gen1 ports. Realtek ALC892 delivers 7.1 channel audio and a single Gigabit LAN port handles wired networking.
