Intel Z390 ATX board for 8th and 9th Gen Core

The motherboard uses the Intel Z390 chipset and an LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket. It accepts 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Four DDR4 slots support up to 64 GB of non-ECC un-buffered memory in dual-channel mode.

DDR4 overclock steps and PCIe 3.0 lane limits

Memory speeds from 2133 MHz to 4266 MHz are listed as overclocked steps; 2666 MHz runs at the base standard. Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots operate at x16 or dual x8, while a third x16 slot is limited to x4 mode. Three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide additional expansion.

Dual M.2 slots with shared bandwidth notes

One M.2 socket supports 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives in PCIe 3.0 x4 mode; a second socket supports 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives in both SATA and PCIe modes. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports offer RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. Intel I219-V LAN delivers 1 Gbps wired networking.

Questions about this item

Which memory speed should I pick — 2133 MHz or the higher overclocked options like 4266 MHz?

The board runs DDR4 at 2133 MHz by default; speeds up to 4266 MHz are supported only when you enable overclock profiles in the BIOS and use compatible modules.

What does the 4096 × 2160 @ 30 Hz HDMI limit mean for my monitor?

You can drive a 4K display at 30 Hz over the single HDMI port; higher refresh rates at that resolution would need a DisplayPort connection instead.

How fast can an M.2 drive actually run on the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot?

The second M.2 socket is wired for PCIe 3.0 x4, capping sequential throughput at roughly 4 GB/s for a compatible drive.
