Take your gaming experience to the next level with the Gigabyte Z390I AORUS PRO WIFI LGA 1151 Mini-ITX Motherboard. Designed for gamers, enthusiasts, and content creators to pack a ton of power into a small form factor system, this mini-ITX motherboard is powered by the Intel Z390 chipset and supports 8th and 9th generation Intel processors with the LGA 1151 socket. It takes full advantage of the PCIe 3.0 data bandwidth to deliver high performance for tasks such 3D rendering, video editing, and more. Up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, reaching 4400 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across two memory slots. The motherboard also features advanced cooling and supports up to two M.2 SSDs and four SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 configurations. Its PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can accommodate a dedicated high-performance graphics card to maximize frame rates and for faster video rendering times. The slot also supports bifurcation mode, which allows you to install a separate riser card with a compatible case to transform it into three full-length slots with x8/x4/x4 or x8/x8 PCIe lanes for additional expansion cards. Alternatively, the built-in DisplayPort and HDMI ports allow you to take advantage of integrated CPU graphics.
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports allow you to transfer data from compatible peripherals at up to 10 Gb/s. Enjoy fast network connections using the Gigabit Ethernet port and built-in 802.11ac Wi-fi, which uses Wave 2 technology for wireless transfer rates of up to 1.73 Gb/s with compatible devices. The Z390I AORUS PRO WIFI also delivers vibrant 7.1-channel surround sound through the Realtek ALC1220-VB audio codec. You can customize your computing experience using the addressable RGB headers to connect light strips, which can be synced with other Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0-compatible peripherals such as mice and keyboards using the desktop software or mobile app. Windows 10 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
- A large surface area heatsink, heatpipe, and thick thermal pad work to deliver lower MOSFET temperatures.
- The multilayered heatsinks help to quickly dissipate heat from the M.2 solid-state drives to avoid speed throttling.
- Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange fan headers to correspond with the thermal sensors located across the motherboard so that the system stays cool while maintaining a high level of performance for games and other demanding applications.
- Fan Stop lets you to take control of your computer's noise level by allowing specified fans to halt when the system drops to a designated temperature level. These settings may be customized according to your preferences.
- Hybrid Fan Headers automatically detect the connected liquid- or air-cooling systems, enabling Smart Fan 5 to monitor information such as flow-rate.
- Two M.2 slots are available, supporting up to type 2280 SATA and PCIe NVMe SSDs.
