*10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i9 processors support 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively,

others will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2666MHz.

* 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support 3200/2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively.

*Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists), and memory frequency support depends on the CPU types.

Intel® 11^th &10^th Gen Processors*

2 x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slots**

– Intel® 11^th processors support PCIe 4.0 x16 or x8/x8 or x8/x4 modes

– Intel® 10^th processors support PCIe 3.0 x16 or x8/x8 or x8/x4 modes

Intel® Z590 Chipset

1 x PCIe 3.0 x4 slot***

* Supports PCIe bandwidth bifurcation for RAID on CPU function.

** PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 share bandwidth with M.2_2. PCIEX16_1 will run x8 mode and PCIEX16_2 will run x4 mode

when M.2_2 runs x4 mode.

*** PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with SATA6G_56. PCIEX4 slot will run x2 mode when SATA6G_56 is populated.

NVIDIA 2-Way SLI® Technology*

*Support varies with different graphics cards

Intel®11^th &10^th Gen Processors

M.2_1 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280

8 x SATA 6Gb/s ports***

RAID function for PCIe mode SSD in Intel® Rapid Storage Technology is available with either 1.

Intel® SSDs installed in both CPU-attached and PCH-attached slots, or 2. any other 3rd party SSDs installed in PCH-attached slots.

To enable Intel® Optane™ Memory (Hybrid Storage device),

it must be installed in PCH-attached slots with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology.

* M.2_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2. When M.2_2 runs x4 mode,

PCIEX16_1 will run x8 mode and PCIEX16_2 will run x4 mode.

** When DIMM.2_1 is operating in SATA mode, SATA6G_2 will be disabled.

*** SATA6G_56 shares bandwidth with PCIEX4 slot. When SATA6G_56 is populated,

PCIEX4 slot will run x2 mode and SATA6G_56 will be disabled when PCIEX4 slot runs x4 mode.
