GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER – Intel LGA1151, ATX Motherboard with Triple M.2, PCIe 3.0, Wi-Fi, RGB Fusion, and Advanced Thermal Design

Server-Level Power Delivery for 9th Gen Intel Enthusiasts The GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER is an enthusiast-grade ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z390 chipset, supporting 9th and 8th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors on the LGA1151 socket. Sitting at the top of GIGABYTE’s AORUS Enthusiast lineup alongside the Xtreme, this board combines a robust 12-phase digital VRM, triple M.2 storage, and comprehensive connectivity for enthusiasts, overclockers, and professional gamers.

True 12-Phase Digital Power Design

The Z390 AORUS MASTER uses an all-IR digital CPU power design with both a digital PWM controller and PowIRstage MOSFETs, capable of delivering at least 40A of power from each phase for a total of 480A. This 100% digital controller, combined with an 8+8 solid-pin CPU power connector setup, offers incredible precision in delivering power to the board’s most power-hungry components, letting enthusiasts extract maximum performance from 8-core 9th Gen Intel processors.

Advanced Thermal Design with 300% More Dissipation Area

The board reaches a balance of style and performance by combining a media-acclaimed Fins-Array heatsink, a heatpipe, and a thermal baseplate, delivering 30% lower MOSFET temperatures for enthusiasts and overclockers. This multi-finned heatsink design increases heat dissipation area by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks of the same size, helping maintain stability during sustained overclocked workloads.

Triple PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 with Thermal Guards

Triple M.2 slots running at PCIe Gen3 x4 give enthusiasts ample high-speed NVMe storage options, each protected by GIGABYTE’s ultra-efficient M.2 Thermal Guard to prevent throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed SSDs. This is complemented by six SATA III ports supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations for additional storage flexibility.

High-Speed DDR4 Memory Support

With 4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory, the board reaches overclocked speeds of up to 4133+ MHz. This memory headroom, combined with the board’s robust power delivery, gives enthusiasts flexibility to fine-tune performance for demanding gaming and productivity workloads.

Multi-GPU Ready with Extensive Expansion

The board offers two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, and three PCIe x1 slots, supporting Tetra-CrossFire and Tetra-SLI multi-GPU configurations for maximum graphics performance. This extensive expansion makes the board well suited for enthusiasts running high-end multi-card gaming or rendering setups.

Wi-Fi, Premium Audio, and Multi-Zone RGB Lighting

Integrated Intel 2×2 802.11ac wireless with Bluetooth 5.0 provides fast, reliable wireless connectivity, paired with Intel Gigabit LAN for low-latency wired networking. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec with an ESS SABRE 9118 DAC, while GIGABYTE’s multi-zone light show design lets users customize onboard and addressable RGB lighting to match their build’s aesthetic.
