Take your computing experience to the next level with the Gigabyte Z390 UD LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard . Designed for gamers, enthusiasts, and overclockers, this durable 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 video editing, gaming, and more. Up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, reaching 4266 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across four memory slots. The ATX motherboard also features advanced cooling and supports one M.2 SSD and up to six SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 configurations. Its three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots can accommodate 2-Way and Quad-GPU AMD CrossFireX configurations to maximize your system's graphical capabilities for high frame rates, connecting 4K monitors, and faster video rendering times. Alternatively, the built-in HDMI port allows you to take advantage of integrated CPU graphics. Three additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots are available alongside a Thunderbolt 3 header for compatible expansion cards.
Other features include six USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports that transfer data at up to 5 Gb/s with compatible devices and a Gigabit Ethernet port for streaming videos and playing online games. The Z390 UD also delivers deep and immersive 7.1-channel surround sound through the Realtek ALC887 audio codec. You can customize your computing experience by connecting an RGB light strip, which can be programmed with a variety of dazzling effects.
