MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC Overview

This Mini-ITX board uses the Intel Z390 chipset and the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket. It supports 9th and 8th Gen Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Two DDR4 slots accept up to 32 GB of dual-channel memory. The compact form factor fits small chassis while keeping full Z390 features.

Build Fit and Alternatives

Builders who want a compact Z390 platform with onboard Wi-Fi and dual M.2 slots will suit this board. It also provides 7.1-channel audio and a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for one graphics card. Users needing more than two DIMM slots, additional PCIe expansion or a different chipset should consider ATX or micro-ATX alternatives.

Deciding Specification

The board offers two M.2 connectors that run at PCI Express 3.0 x4 speeds, each capable of up to 32 Gb/s per device. This bandwidth determines whether high-speed storage can reach its rated throughput. Verify that your chosen M.2 drives match the x4 interface to use the full capability.

Questions about this item

Will my DDR4 2666 modules run at rated speed on the MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC?

How can I confirm the Realtek 8111H LAN and 802.11ac Wi-Fi are active after assembly?

Check Device Manager for the Realtek 8111H Gigabit adapter and the Intel Wireless-AC entry; both should show "This device is working properly."

Does the box include the two M.2 mounting screws and the I/O shield?

The package supplies the I/O shield, two M.2 screws, SATA cables and the Wi-Fi antenna bracket; CPU cooler brackets are not included.
