Socket LGA 1200 Z490 board

The MSI Z490-S01 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z490 chipset for LGA 1200 processors. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128GB across a wide range of speeds from 2133 to 4000 MHz. The board targets builders pairing 10th-generation Core i7 or i9 CPUs with high-speed memory kits.

Installation notes

The package contains the motherboard, an I/O shield and one SATA cable; no CMOS battery or extra accessories are supplied. A CR2032 cell must be sourced separately before first boot. Standard ATX standoff alignment applies and the 24-pin plus 8-pin power connectors sit in familiar positions for straightforward assembly.

Interface limits

Two M.2 sockets and six SATA III ports share bandwidth with the chipset-linked PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, so populating every drive can reduce that slot to x1 speeds. The primary PCIe 3.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU and is unaffected. Rear I/O includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports at 10Gbps and eight USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports at 5Gbps.
