ROG MAXIMUS XI CODE Z390 LGA 1151 ATX

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z390 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket. It supports 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors built on a 14 nm process. The board provides four DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 64 GB and a single M.2 slot for storage expansion. It is aimed at enthusiasts building a high-end desktop on the Z390 platform.

Ideal for Z390 upgrades, not for new builds

The board suits owners of compatible 8th or 9th Gen Intel CPUs who need a feature-rich Z390 replacement or upgrade. Builders starting a fresh system should consider newer platforms with current sockets and chipsets. Users requiring multiple M.2 drives or more than one full-length PCIe x16 slot must look at alternative models that provide those connections.

Single M.2 slot limits high-speed storage

Only one M.2 socket is available on this motherboard, so only one M.2 SSD can be installed directly. A second fast drive would need a PCIe adapter card or a SATA connection. Verify that a single M.2 device meets your storage plan before purchasing this board.
