Z490 platform for 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core

This motherboard uses the Intel Z490 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It supports 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The board is built for ATX form factor systems. Onboard LAN reaches 2.5 Gbps.

Builders who want overclocking headroom versus

Enthusiasts planning to tune memory timings and CPU multipliers will find the Z490 feature set appropriate. Buyers who only need stock speeds and have no interest in manual tuning should consider a simpler chipset. Systems requiring integrated graphics output must verify the chosen processor includes it.

Memory topology and maximum frequency

The board validates 1R modules at 2933, 2666 and 2133 MT/s. One DIMM per channel with one rank reaches 5000+ MT/s. One DIMM per channel with two ranks reaches 4500+ MT/s. Two DIMMs per channel with one rank reaches 4400+ MT/s. Two DIMMs per channel with two ranks reaches 4000+ MT/s.

Questions about this item

Will my existing SATA drives work with the 6Gb/s SATA ports on this board?

Yes, the board provides SATA 6Gb/s ports so any SATA SSD or hard drive you already own will connect and run at its rated speed.

How can I verify the 2.5Gbps LAN is running at full speed after I build the system?

Open the network adapter settings in Windows, confirm the link shows 2.5 Gbps, then run a local file transfer or iperf3 test to see throughput near that rate.

What comes in the box and which core parts must I source myself?

The package includes the motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables and driver disc; you still need to buy a compatible LGA 1200 processor, memory kit and power supply.
