Power Design

The Z590M GAMING X uses a 12+1 Phase Digital Power Design, DrMOS, and 90A Smart Power Stage to maintain electrical stability for your components. Power Architecture works in conjunction with onboard digital PWM, high current capacity MOSFET, and solid-capacitor array to regulate power efficiency for your CPU, giving you optimal performance for your build and improving transient response.

PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design

When using an Intel 11th Gen CPU, you can experience enhanced PCIe performance. A single expansion port and M.2 connection can utilize PCIe 4.0 protocols for faster program loading and boosting overall system functionality.

XMP Support

Tap into Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) technology and overclock your RAM with ease. XMP allows you to load predefined profiles through the operating system, giving you optimal performance depending on your PC use.

Thermal Design

A fully covered MOSFET heatsink and M.2 Thermal Guard help dissipate heat, ensuring onboard components are protected against damage caused by excessive heat. Smart Fan 6 offers various cooling features that ensure proper thermal performance while staying cool and quiet. Install system fans with four headers while six internal temperature sensors monitor the motherboard and activate cooling fans when needed. Smart Fan 6 BIOS allows you to adjust when fans turn on and off, putting system controls in your hands.

Connectivity

The Z590M GAMING X is equipped with various ports designed to enhance your external device performance. USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports provide transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s, suitable for audio and video equipment. USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports are also available for additional resource-demanding peripheral support. Additionally, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port reinforces your wired network connectivity, giving you quicker upload and download speeds while also giving you the upper hand in online competitive games.

Hi-Res Audio

Built with high-end audio capacitors, the Z590M GAMING X delivers high-resolution, high-fidelity audio, producing realistic sound effects suitable for your games. An audio noise guard separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.

Designed for Durability

The solid and durable Z590M GAMING X motherboard uses PCIe Armor and patented double locking bracket to reinforce the PCIe slot, providing extra strength for heavy components like graphics cards and reducing ESD interference. Solid-pin power connectors provide a larger contact area for electrical efficiency, prolonging the lifespan of your motherboard.

RGB Fusion

Embrace style and equip your build with a unique lighting aesthetic that signifies your personal style. Addressable RGB headers allow you to create unique lighting effects with the included RGB Fusion 2.0 software. The RGB Fusion App allows you to easily adjust lighting effects from an external device, allowing you to change settings easily without interrupting your game.

GIGABYTE BIOS

Easily adjust various aspects of your PC with intuitive BIOS software, designed to put you in control of your system. Easy Tune and System Information Viewer allow you to easily set overclocking parameters and monitor the status of your system. Download additional programs with the APP Center which gives you additional utilities for your build.
