Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra 10th & 11th Gen WiFi Mini-ITX Motherboard

Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra 10th & 11th Gen WiFi Mini-ITX Motherboard

Gigabyte Z490I Aorus Ultra is a mini-ITX motherboard perfect for building a small form factor PC for people who demands higher performance but also cares about aesthetics. The compact yet powerful pc delivers amazing performance with the latest 10th gen CPU, dual slots graphic card and blazing fast connectivity. It also equips with comprehensive thermal solution to keep it cool under heavy workload. Performance is not compromised by its size.

ULTIMATE POWER DESIGN

To fully support the latest 10th Gen ten- cores CPU, the Z490I AORUS ULTRA is equipped with the ultimate power solution with the desired features: direct, digital and multiple phases. After countless experiments and tests, GIGABYTE presents the unbeatable Z490I AORUS ULTRA for enthusiasts and gamers. Z490I AORUS ULTRA motherboard uses an pure digital CPU power design which includes a digital PWM Controller with Smart Power Stages and is capable of providing 90A of power from each phase for a total of 720A. This 100% digital controller, new Tantalum Polymer Capacitors array, and Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision and stability in delivering power to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing professional worker and gamer to get the incredible high performance from the latest 10th Gen. Intel Core processors. GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X Copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. This is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking. For richer feature and powerful performance on mini-ITX board Z490I AORUS ULTRA, ten layers mid-loss PCB was adopted to make it work. Comparing with regular 8 layer PCB, two more layers for power solution and ground is added. In order to fully support 10th gen ten core CPU and get ready for the future, power trace need more space than previous generation. An extra layer is exclusively for the power delivery. Furthermore, a complete ground layer improves the signal integrity and helps PCB to dissipate heat. Along with ten layered, low impedance, 2X Copper PCB, Z490I AORUS ULTRA is unbeatable among motherboards.

UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE

GIGABYTE realize that our customer won't stop chasing a better computer performance. We take care of it and implement more on products. Optimized memory trace enhance the performance. Faster read and write are needed to save time and improve efficiency. We offer plenty of M.2 Storage with thermal guards to ensure unthrottled read and write. In advance, adopting PCIe 4.0 ready components get the Z490 easier to upgrade.

NEXT GENERATION CONNECTIVITY

Network connectivity is getting more important nowadays. Majority of Desktop PC are with both ethernet and WIFI for the stable connection to avoid interrupt or bad signal. The Z490I AORUS ULTRA features the fastest WIFI 6 that improves the reliability and performance in dense environment. Furthermore, As 4k Monitor become more popular, ultra high resolution display output is also required. Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least two times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking. It's perfectly suit for gamers and streamer with ultimate and smooth online experience. It also backward compatible with Multi-Gig(10/ 100/ 1000/ 2500Mbps) RJ-45 ethernet. Intel Wireless solution supports 802.11ax, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps. Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission.

AUDIO SOLUTION WITH DTS IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCE

Hi-Res Audio certified, meaning that the product is capable of reproducing frequencies up to 40kHz or above which ensures user with the best audio quality at all times. ALC1220 120dB(A) SNR HD Audio with Smart Headphone Amp automatically detects impedance of your head-worn audio device, preventing issues such as low volume and distortion. With the new VB series audio controller, stream your voice to the world vibrantly with both front/rear microphone SNR up to 110/114dB(A).
