- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 / x4) & 4x PCIe x1
- 1x USB 3.1 (1x Type A)
- Total 7x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
- 2x M.2 / 6x SATA 6G
- Supports max. 64 GB of DDR4 RAM
- Integrated LED lighting including RGB LED header

The Z390 Gaming X in detail
The Z390 Gaming X motherboard (ATX) provides a total of two PCIe x16 slots, one of which is connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes, while the other is connected to four data lines. For additional plug-in and expansion cards, the motherboard has four 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 X but also the operation of RAM kits to TBA MHz. There are six SATA 6G connectors and two M.2 slots for hard drives and SSDs.

At the I / O panel, the Z390 Gaming X has a USB 3.1 port with Type A female connector. 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, there are five USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports as well as an HDMI port. Internally, the motherboard provides a large selection of ports and headers. In addition, the mainboard is equipped with LED lighting.
