ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC, Intel Z390 Motherboard - Socket 1151 [90-MXB6Q0-A0UAYZ]

Also on the start are the chip-side Wi-Fi support - but still a WiFi module must be present - and native USB 3.1 support, so they no longer need to be provided with additional chips.

The features of the ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC motherboard at a glance:
- 1x PCIe (3.0) x16 (x16)
- 6x USB 3.1 (5x Type A & 1x Type C)
- 2x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
- 1x M.2 (PCIe 3.0x4) / 6x SATA 6G
- Supports max. 32 GB of DDR4 RAM up to 4,000 MHz
- With integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module

The ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC in detail
The ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC motherboard (Mini-ITX) provides a PCIe x16 slot connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes. The two DIMM slots support up to 32GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. Native support of the Z390 chipset clock rates up to 2,666 MHz, OC allows the ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC but also the operation of RAM kits up to 4,000 MHz. There are six SATA 6G ports and one M.2 slot for hard drives and SSDs. It is connected to the chipset with four PCIe lanes and supports the NVMe protocol, which enables data transfer rates of almost 4 GB / s. This makes M.2 PCIe SSDs up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs!

The ASRock Z390M-ITX / AC has a USB 3.1 connector with type C socket at the I / O panel. This new USB type C port is very thin and can be plugged in on both sides. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port, and USB ports with this standard generally support the fast charging function of smartphones and tablets. In addition to the I / O panel, in addition to five USB 3.1 type a and two USB 2.0 ports, there are also two HDMI and one DisplayPort connection. Internally, the motherboard provides a large selection of ports and headers.
