Asus ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming Z390 Chipset LGA 1151 Mini-ITX Motherboard overview
Double Decker Heatsink
An innovative double-decker design separates the primary M.2 SSD slot's heat spreader from the PCH heatsink. Both are isolated to prevent the PCH and M.2 thermals from affecting each other. This clever arrangement maximizes space on the mini-ITX board and also cools the M.2 SSD by up to 15°C.
VRM Heatsink & Thermal Pad
An integrated I/O shield and VRM heatsink utilize almost one third of the Strix Z390-I mini-ITX board to deliver a uniquely effective cooling system. This industry-first layout employs transfers heat from the CPU power supply to the heatsink, helping to keep temperatures under control even in cramped mini-ITX chassis.
DDR4 OC 4600+MHz
To provide Intel's latest CPUs with unfettered access to memory bandwidth, we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned signaling.
Double-capacity DIMM support
ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming features a unique memory-trace design that supports up to 32GB per channel for a total memory capacity of 64GB. With double-capacity UDIMM modules, ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming delivers four-DIMM memory bandwidth in a compact, dual-DIMM design.
Dual PCIe Gen3 M.2
Dual PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots provide NVMe SSD RAID support for an incredible performance boost. Create a RAID configuration with up to two PCIe 3.0 storage devices via the dual M.2 slots to enjoy the fastest data-transfer speeds on the 8th Generation Intel Core platform.
Intel Integrated Ultra Wi-Fi support
ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming features the latest Intel 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2x2 MU-MIMO and wide 160MHz channels, for wireless speeds of up to 1.73Gbps.* In fact, its integrated Wireless-AC 9560 Wi-Fi adapter pushes wireless data up to 2X faster than other Wi-Fi solutions — so you'll get fast, smooth transfers, even when your rig is further away from the router. Intel Wireless-AC 9560 also offers Bluetooth 5.0 for connections that are up to 2X faster than ever before, and with up to 4X the range.
Cyber Fusion
The distinctive sleek cuts across the ROG Strix heatsink are now accented with a futuristic cyber-text pattern, fusing multiple gaming cultures to create a unique identity for this generation.
Fan Xpert 4
Enjoy comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AIO) coolers, via either Fan Expert 4 or our award-winning UEFI.
Outshine the Competition
ROG Strix motherboards deliver sterling performance and superior aesthetics to Outshine the Competition. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB header — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.
