Gigabyte offers an AORUS PRO AX, the Z490 boards have what Gigabyte refers to as 'shielded memory routing' and is based upon a 12+1-phase design/delivery backed by 50A power stages, these are cooled by a set of aluminum heat sinks. In a nutshell, that's a good VRM ranging in this into a high-end but not enthusiast class. There are two ATX CPU power inputs one 8 and one 4-pin. The board offers an Intel 2.5 G Ethernet (Intel i225 ) controller but lacks AX Wi-Fi 6. The board offers three PCIe 3.0 slots which run at x16, x8/x8, x8/x8/4. Storage-wise you will see hidden under a heatsink a twofold of PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots, one is exposed and limited in PCI-Lane connectivity. We'll explain later. There are six SATA ports (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 array support). The onboard audio based on Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec This board offers DDR4 support up-to 4800 MHz. Have a peek at some photos, albeit subjective, I deem this to be a really nice looking product.
