Power Design
Digital power control and an array of power stages ensure ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming has the muscle to control the latest Intel CPUs.
ProCool II
Power Connector
The ProCool II socket is built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines and have a metal armor for improved heat dissipation. The connector’s lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.
Digi+Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and clean power delivery to the CPU.
14+2 Power Stages
ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming utilizes 14+2 power stages to combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.
Alloy Choke & Capacitor
Superior chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures and provide up to 110% better performance than the industry standard.
DDR4 OC4600MHz
ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming supports
up to 128GB DDR4 memory across four slots. OptiMem II technology
improves trace layout to significantly reduce vias and crosstalk to
enhance memory stability and compatibility, giving memory kits higher
frequency margins.
DualPCIe 3.0 M.2
Two M.2 slots are available, with
one supporting both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 modes, and the other
supporting PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe. Together, they give you the fastest and
most-flexible M.2 interface available.
Undeniably ROG Strix
ROG Strix Z490-E
Gaming is unmistakably ROG, it features a mirror-like stainless steel
finish, complete with diagonal lines across the I/O shield and
futuristic cyber-text.
