Premium Thermal Solution: Extended Heatsink Design and M.2 Shield Frozr are built for high performance system and non-stop gaming experience Now that Z490 has arrived, we still have to wait a bit to see how impressive the new CPUs are. And lesser H- and B-chipset boards are of course also likely to arrive down the road. But at the time of this writing, there are roughly 50 Z490 boards to choose from. So if you’re looking to build a new system based on Intel’s latest, there should be something for everyone. Z490 Motherboards: The Full List (So Far) With the optimized daisy-chain routing, the Z490 AORUS motherboard provides a proven speed of up to DDR4-5000+ MHz with high-density Memory module*. Optimized daisy-chained routing eliminates the stub effect, pushes the one DIMM per channel
To unleash the full potential of the new Intel 10-core CPU, the motherboard requires the best CPU power design. With thex DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR4 4800(O.C.)/4600(O.C)/4500(O.C)/4400(O.C)/4266(O.C.)/4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory Intel ® Z490 AORUS Motherboard with Direct 12+1 Phases Digital VRM Design, Comprehensive Thermal Solution with NanoCarbon Fins-Array II, Intel ® WiFi 6 802.11ax, Intel ® 2.5GbE LAN, RGB FUSION 2.0 A large, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation. Thermal pad Another top board from MSI, the Z490 Ace looks great with its subtle gold highlights and metallic elements. It’s good to have the primary M.2 slot above the GPU rather than cooking away underneath it. Other little things like the white post code display, fast booting and excellent fan control makes the Ace a really refined and polished product. Even the M.2 installation is easy, with no need to remove a heap of screws and half of the entire heatsink. GIGABYTE APP CENTER is an useful portal of all GIGABYTE MB utilities and drivers, you can choose any utility you want to
Intel Turbo USB 3.2 Gen 2: Powered by IntelUSB 3.2 Gen2 controller, Turbo USB ensures an uninterrupted connection with more stability and fastest USB speeds BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save your current BIOS to a file, recover your previous BIOS Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimise cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.LAN: Upgraded network solution for professional and multimedia use. Delivers a secure, stable and fast network connection Asus’ new TUF Gaming motherboards are designed to be the company’s most affordable Z490 gaming products. Just like the bulk of the ROG Strix Z490 boards, these boards ship with a 12+2 power-delivery system. They have just two M.2 Key-M slots, however, and they also feature lower-end networking hardware. Instead of the 2.5Gbps NIC that is ubiquitous on the ROG Strix Z490 boards, the TUFs have a single Intel i219-V Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Z490 Taichi doesn’t deviate too much from its recent siblings in terms of its looks. I mean, why would you though with its lovely retro, almost analogue theme. It looks terrific. You get a nice splash of RGB lighting too of course. Made for online gaming: Intel® WiFi 6, Intel® Ethernet Connection I219-V, TUF LANGuard and TurboLAN technology Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.
