Z390 DESIGNARE ATX motherboard

The GIGABYTE Z390 DESIGNARE is an ATX motherboard built for the LGA 1151 socket. It uses the Intel Z390 chipset and provides four DDR4 memory slots in a dual-channel layout. A 12+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS handles power delivery for the CPU.

Enthusiasts needing Thunderbolt 3 on Intel LGA 1151

This board suits builders who want integrated Intel Thunderbolt 3 connectivity on the Z390 platform. The USB-C implementation supports data video and power over a single port. Buyers who need a newer socket or a different form factor should look elsewhere.

12+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS

The power design uses a 12+1 phase digital VRM solution with DrMOS components. An advanced thermal design adds a direct-touch heat pipe over the VRM heatsinks. This specification determines how well the board sustains high CPU loads.
