Micro ATX motherboard with black heatsinks and silver IO shield

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE Intel Z490M LGA 1200 10 11TH Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard

SKU CH-6YC9-GJR6E

Micro ATX board with Intel Z490 chipset and LGA 1200 socket supports 10th and 11th generation processors and up to 128 GB DDR4 memory

  • Supports 10th and 11th generation Intel CPUs via LGA 1200 socket
  • Up to 128 GB dual-channel DDR4 memory capacity
  • 4+2 phase hybrid digital VRM with low RDS(on) MOSFETs
  • PCIe 4.0 hardware design for high-bandwidth devices
  • Enlarged heatsink with 1.5 mm thermal pad improves MOSFET cooling

Built for 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core

This Micro ATX motherboard fits the LGA 1200 socket and uses the Intel Z490 chipset. It targets builders who want a compact board with enthusiast features for gaming or content-creation systems. The form factor suits smaller cases without sacrificing the overclocking headroom the Z-series provides.

Sustained load behaviour

A 4+2 phase hybrid digital VRM uses Low RDS(on) MOSFETs to cut switching losses and keep temperatures lower during long sessions. Enlarged heatsinks with 1.5 mm thermal pads increase contact area and airflow over the power delivery components. This design helps maintain stable voltage when the CPU draws heavy current for extended periods.

Deciding specification

The board supports up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory across four slots. PCIe 4.0 hardware design prepares the primary expansion and M.2 connectors for next-generation graphics cards and NVMe storage. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of RAM or require ECC support should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How hot does the VRM area get when the board runs all day?

The 4+2 hybrid digital VRM uses low RDS(on) MOSFETs and a 1.5 mm thermal pad on an enlarged grooved heatsink to keep temperatures down during sustained loads.

What memory kit do I need before this board will post?

You must supply DDR4 DIMMs; the board supports up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode across its four slots.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive work in the M.2 slot?

Yes, the M.2 connector accepts NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 drives and will run them at their rated Gen 3 speeds.
