Component Legend Descriptions
1. CPU Socket 1151
This is the interface for the Central Processing Unit (CPU), and supports 8
th
and 9
th
Gen. Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and i9 models compatible with the Intel
®
LGA1151 Socket, based on Coffee Lake-S architecture. Intel
®
Xeon
®
E
processors are not supported.
2. Intel
®
Z390 PCH (Southbridge)
The Platform Controller Hub (PCH) handles the role that was previously held
by the South Bridge. The PCH allocates bandwidth to smaller PCIe slots, M.2,
USB, audio, etc. In simplified terms, the PCH works as a hub for peripherals
that are less bandwidth-intensive.
3. PWM Fan Headers
4-pin fan headers that control the fan speed based on a configurable curve or
static percentage. PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) works by pulsing power to
the fan at a constant rate and sending the RPM signal to the fan’s controller via
a Sense cable, rather than adjusting fan speed by increasing and decreasing
voltage. This method is preferable because it eliminates voltage-based fan stall
points. Please see Page 89 for more in-depth PWM breakdown and PWM
controls within BIOS/UEFI. These fans can be controlled via Smart Fan or
manually within the BIOS.
4. DC/PWM Fan Headers
These ports may be used with both DC and PWM fans, and may be controlled
via Smart Fan or manually within the BIOS.
5. DDR4 Memory Slots
The memory slots support up to two 288-pin DDR4 DIMMs in Dual-Channel
mode. Dual-Channel mode will be enabled only upon using two or four sticks
of supported memory, according to the installation guide above; using one or
three sticks of memory will lower the board to Single-Channel mode, which
may significantly lower performance. 32GB of RAM is supported in a 2x16GB
configuration; 32GB modules are *NOT* officially supported. At the time of
th
is manual’s release, this motherboard officially supports up to 4
speeds. These speeds cannot be guaranteed, however, because Intel
®
only
certifies the speed of the memory controller up to 2666MHz for Coffee Lake-S
processors.
