Gigabytes Z490 Vision G, Intel Z490 motherboard - socket 1200 [Z490 Vision G]

Since the "Comet Lake-S" processors require a new socket due to the optimized power supply, the Intel series LGA1200 socket is used on the 400 series mainboards. Despite the increased number of pins, the actual size of the socket remains identical to older sockets, so that CPU coolers for socket LGA 115x can also be mounted on the mainboard.

The features of the Gigabyte Z490 Vision G motherboard at a glance:
- 3x PCIe (3.0) x16 (16/8/4) & 2x PCIe x1
- 4x USB 3.1 (3x type A, 1x type C) + 1x header (MB)
- A total of 6x USB 3.0 and 6x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
- 2x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) / 6x SATA 6G
- Supports max. 64 GB DDR4 RAM up to 4,400 MHz
- Integrated RGB LED lighting
- With fast 2.5G LAN

The Gigabyte Z490 Vision G in detail
The Gigabyte Z490 Vision G mainboard in the ATX form factor offers three PCIe-x16 slots and two PCIe-x1 slots for plug-in and expansion cards. The x16 slots are each connected with a full 16 lanes. As a high-end motherboard, the Gigabyte Z490 Vision G also supports multi-GPU setups via NVIDIA SLI / NVLink and AMD Crossfire / XDMA. Other features of the mainboard also include a striking cooler design and integrated RGB LED lighting.

Up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode can be used in the four DIMM slots. The Z490 chipset supports clock rates up to 2,933 MHz, but the OC enables the Gigabyte Z490 Vision G to operate RAM kits with up to 4,400 MHz! Two M.2 slots for PCIe / SATA M.2 SSDs and six SATA 6G connectors enable storage drives to be connected. The M.2 slots are connected to the chipset with four PCIe lanes and support the NVMe protocol, which enables data transfer rates of just under 4 GB / s. This means that M.2 PCIe SSDs are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs!

The Gigabyte Z490 Vision G has a USB 3.1 port with a Type-C socket on the I / O panel. These are particularly thin and can be inserted on both sides. USB 3.1 or USB 3.2 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port and USB ports with this standard generally support the quick charging function of smartphones and tablets. In addition to the three additional USB 3.1 Type A ports and four USB 3.0 ports, the I / O panel also has an HDMI and a DisplayPort connection as well as a Clear CMOS and a BIOS flashback button Find. Internally, the mainboard provides a large selection of connections and headers.

Compatible only with 10th generation Intel CPUs!
