Overview
The Gigabyte Z390 I Aorus Pro WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z390 Express Chipset, designed to support 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core processors — including Core i9, i7, i5, and i3 variants — in the LGA1151 socket. Its feature set makes it a capable platform for PC builders, gamers, and overclockers who want a well-rounded Intel build without compromise. On the memory front, the board provides four DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, supporting up to 128 GB of system memory (with 32 GB per DIMM). Overclocking enthusiasts will appreciate XMP profile support and DDR4 speeds ranging from 2133 MHz up to 4266 MHz (O.C.), giving ample headroom for memory tuning. Storage options are generous: two M.2 Socket 3 connectors support PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA SSDs, with one slot featuring a dedicated Thermal Guard heatsink to help manage SSD temperatures during sustained workloads. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports complete the storage array, and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations are supported. Intel Optane Memory is also compatible. Wireless connectivity is handled by an onboard Intel CNVi module supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band frequencies, with 160 MHz channel support and up to 1.73 Gbps theoretical data rates. Bluetooth 5 is included. Wired networking uses an Intel GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) paired with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping software. Audio is delivered via a Realtek ALC1220-VB codec with NICHICON audio capacitors, rated at 114 dB SNR on the rear output and 110 dB SNR on the front microphone path, with 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output and S/PDIF support. The USB complement is extensive: one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports on the rear panel, three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports on the rear, an internal USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C header, and eight USB 2.0/1.1 ports split across the rear panel and internal headers. Expansion is via one PCIe x16 (x16 mode), one PCIe x16 (x8 mode, bandwidth shared), one PCIe x16 (x4 mode), and three PCIe x1 slots — all PCIe 3.0. RGB Fusion 2.0 supports multi-zone addressable LED strips and standard RGB strips, while Smart Fan 5 manages up to six fan/pump headers with multiple temperature sensors and FAN STOP capability. DualBIOS provides backup firmware protection.
