Gigabytes Z590M, Intel Z590 motherboard - Socket 1200 [Z590M]

The mainboard supports PCIe 4.0 with Intel CPUs of the 11th generation and allows overclocking of models with a free multiplier. With its micro-ATX form factor, the Gigabyte Z590M fills the mainboard trays of common cases and offers a balanced ratio of expansion options and space savings.

The motherboard offers a restrained two-tone design and focuses on efficiency. Thanks to a power supply with 8 + 1 phases and extensive cooling, the Gigabyte Z590M is also suitable for overclocking. The mainboard does not have its own RGB lighting, but offers additional connections for RGB accessories. Gigabyte RGB Fusion serves as the interface for control and synchronization.
Note 1: The following specifications regarding the PCIe lanes, connection of the M.2 slots and connection of the PCIe slots refer to the combination of the Z590 chipset with an 11th generation Intel Core CPU (Rocket Lake-S )!

The Gigabyte Z590M in detail
The Gigabyte Z590M is an Intel Z590 motherboard in the Micro-ATX form factor and provides two PCIe x16 slots for expansion cards. One of these slots is connected directly to the CPU with a total of 16 lanes and supports PCIe 4.0. The other supports PCIe 3.0 and is connected with 4 lanes. There is also a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for expansion cards.

random access memory
The four DIMM slots support up to 128 GB DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. The Z590 chipset supports clock rates of up to 3,200 MHz natively. However, the Gigabyte Z590M also enables the operation of RAM kits up to 5333 MHz via OC.

Drives
The Gigabyte Z590M offers two M.2 slots for fast NVMe SSDs. One of them is connected directly to the CPU with 4 lanes and supports PCIe 4.0. However, it only works when using a Rocket Lake S CPU. The other M.2 slot is connected to the chipset via PCIe 3.0 and also works with 10th generation Intel CPUs. Six SATA 6G connections are available for additional SSDs, hard disks and optical drives.

Danger! The top M.2 slot (M.2_1) only works in combination with Intel Core CPUs of the 11th generation "Rocket Lake-S" and is deactivated for processors of the 10th generation "Comet Lake".

USB, network and sound
On the I / O panel, the Gigabyte Z590M has a USB 3. port (type A) with 10 Gbit / s and five USB 3.0 ports (4x type A, 1x type C) with 5 Gbit / s. The Gigabyte Z590M is equipped with a LAN with 1 GBit / s (Intel I219-V) for fast data transfers. The integrated Realtek ALC897 audio codec provides rich 7.1 surround sound.

Only compatible with Intel CPUs of the 10th and 11th generation!
