Gigabyte Z390 Gaming SLI, Intel Z390 Motherboard - Socket 1151 [Z390 GAMING SLI]

Additionally, Z390 motherboards support the ninth-generation Intel Core processors (Coffee Lake-S Refresh). Also at the start are the chip-side WLAN 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 Z390 Gaming SLI motherboard at a glance:
- 3x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 / x8 / x4) & 3x PCIe x1
- 2x USB 3.1 (2x Type A)
- Total 8x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
- 1x M.2 / 6x SATA 6G
- Supports max. 64 GB of DDR4 RAM
- Integrated LED lighting including RGB LED header

The Z390 Gaming SLI in detail
The Z390 Gaming SLI motherboard (ATX) provides a total of three PCIe x16 slots, one of which is connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes, while the other two are connected with eight or four data lines. For additional plug-in and expansion cards, the motherboard has three PCIe x1 slots.

The four DIMM slots support up to 64GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. Native support of the Z390 chipset clock rates up to 2,666 MHz, OC allows the Z390 Gaming SLI but also the operation of RAM kits to TBA MHz. Hard drives and SSDs come with six SATA 6G ports and one M.2 slot.

The Z390 Gaming SLI has two Type 3.1 USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel. 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. Furthermore, there are six USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port on the I / O panel. Internally, the motherboard provides a large selection of ports and headers. In addition, the mainboard is equipped with LED lighting.
