Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X Intel Socket 1151 ATX Motherboard 10* 2 Phases Digital VRM Design with Low RDS(on) MOSFET GIGABYTE GAMING series motherboards use a 10* 2 phase PWM Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs design to support the latest 8-Core Intel® Core™ CPUs by offering incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboards most power- hungry and energy-sensitive components as well as delivering enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware scalability. Pre-installed I/O Shield With an integrated I/O shield, building an GIGABYTE Ultra Durable PC is even easier. Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4000MHz and Beyond GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4000MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their motherboard. 2-Way CrossFire™ Multi-Graphics Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. Intel® GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Networking Intel® GbE LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments. The Industrys Leading LAN Static-Electricity & Surge Protection GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional ICs. This helps to better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery. M.2 Thermal Guard With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue. Dual-Mode M.2 Slot Design GIGABYTE Motherboards are built with dual M.2 slots. With a PCIe NVMe SATA dual-mode design on both M.2 slots. This configuration is designed for flexibility and adaptation to fit most users and gamers requests.
