GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE – Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard, PCIe 4.0, Custom Loop Water Cooling, 10GbE LAN

Flagship Water-Cooled Performance for 11th Gen Intel Platforms The GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE is a flagship high-end motherboard built for 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core processors on the Z590 chipset. Featuring an integrated full-board water block, a massive 20+1 phase digital VRM, and next-generation connectivity including 10GbE LAN and Thunderbolt 4, this ATX board is designed for enthusiasts and Hi-End system builders who demand extreme overclocking headroom and uncompromising performance.

Integrated Full-Board Water Block Cooling

Unlike the standard air-cooled AORUS Xtreme, the WATERFORCE variant is equipped with a built-in monoblock water cooling system that covers the VRM, memory, M.2 zone, and network controller. This custom loop-ready design allows the board to be integrated directly into a liquid cooling loop, helping maintain stable temperatures during aggressive overclocking of high-core-count CPUs.

Robust 20+1 Phase Digital VRM

Power delivery is handled by a 20+1 phase digital VRM using SIC840 100A power stages controlled by an ISL69269 PMIC, doubled from a 10-phase design with current balancing for improved efficiency. This true power phase, fully load-balanced architecture with tantalum polymer capacitors ensures high-power CPUs receive clean, stable current even under sustained heavy loads.

XTREME MEMORY Technology for Maximum Overclocking

The board incorporates GIGABYTE’s XTREME MEMORY technology, featuring Shielded Memory Routing, SMT DIMM slots, and a Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Array placed directly beneath the memory slots. This design minimizes noise and electrical interference while improving transient response, helping users reach higher, more stable memory clocks.

Dual High-Speed LAN with 10GbE

Networking is handled by an AQUANTIA 10GbE BASE-T LAN controller paired with an Intel 2.5GbE LAN and cFosSpeed software, giving users flexible high-speed wired connectivity for demanding workloads or competitive gaming. Onboard Intel Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5 rounds out the connectivity options for fast, reliable wireless networking.

Extensive Storage and Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity

The Z590 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE supports triple ultra-fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 slots with Thermal Guards II, along with six SATA 6Gbps ports for additional storage flexibility. Dual onboard Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C ports provide extremely fast data transfer speeds and support for high-resolution displays, alongside multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for broad peripheral compatibility.

Premium Hi-Fi Audio and Safety Features

The board includes 127dB SNR AMP-UP Audio powered by a high-end ESS SABRE 9018K2M DAC, LME 49720 and OPA1622 amplifiers, and WIMA audio capacitors, plus an exclusively bundled ESSential USB DAC for premium sound quality. A built-in leakage protection system automatically shuts down the system in the event of a coolant malfunction, adding an extra layer of safety to its integrated water-cooling design.

Why Choose the GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE?
