Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming, Intel Z390 Motherboard - Socket 1151

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 Gigabyte Z390 M gaming motherboard at a glance:
– 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 / x4) & 2x PCIe x1
– 2x USB 3.1 (1x Type A & 1x Type C)
– A total of 4x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
– 2x M.2 / 6x SATA 6G
– Supports max. 64 GB of DDR4 RAM
– RGB LED header

The Gigabyte Z390 M gaming in detail
The Gigabyte Z390 M gaming motherboard (mATX) 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 with four data lines. For additional plug-in and expansion cards, the motherboard has two 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 Gigabyte Z390 M gaming but also the operation of RAM kits up to 3,400 MHz. There are six SATA 6G connectors and two M.2 slots for hard drives and SSDs.

At the I / O panel, the Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming has a USB 3.1 connector with Type C socket. 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 a USB 3.1 Type A and four USB 3.0 ports, there is also an HDMI and a DVI-D connection. Internally, the motherboard provides a large selection of ports and headers.
