Motherboards - Intel

The X299 chipset is Intel's flagship model for extreme desktop systems including gaming PCs and content creation workstations. With its LGA 2066 socket, this chipset supports Intel's most powerful desktop CPUs from the Skylake X and Kaby Lake X ranges. It supports quad-channel DDR4 memory, providing unparalled memory bandwidth. With up to 44 PCI-E 3.0 lanes available, these motherboards deliver masses of bandwidth for SLI and CrossFireX configurators, offering unrestricted performance in games and graphic intensive content creation applications. With heaps of USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s ports and overclocking features these motherboards are the ultimate platform for high-performance desktop PCs. These particular X299 models are ATX or larger for full-size desktop PCs.

Despite using the new Socket 2066, the external layout is the same as Socket 2011-3, so you can use any of these coolers with your new Socket 2066 motherboard.

The Intel Z590 chipset is the flagship chipset for Intel 10th Core processors codename Comet Lake with limited support for 11th generation Rocket Lake processors. It supports 24 PCIe lanes, 14 USB ports and is required for overclocking. These particular boards are full size ATX designs with maximum expandability.

The Intel Z590 chipset is the flagship chipset for Intel 10th Core processors codename Comet Lake with limited support for 11th generation Rocket Lake processors. It supports 24 PCIe lanes, 14 USB ports and is required for overclocking. These particular boards are small form factor mini-ITX designs which only support a single expansion card.

The Intel B460 chipset is the mid-range chipset for Intel 10th generation Core processors, codename Comet Lake. It supports 16 PCIe lanes and 12 USB ports. These particular boards are full size ATX designs with maximum expandability.

The Intel B460 chipset is the mid-range chipset for Intel 10th generation Core processors, codename Comet Lake. It supports 16 PCIe lanes and 12 USB ports. These particular boards are small form factor micro-ATX designs with middling expandability.

The Intel Z390 chipset is the flagship chipset for Intel 9th generation Core processors, codename Coffee Lake. It supports two graphics cards, the most USB ports and is required for overclocking. These particular boards are full size ATX designs with maximum expandability.

Please Note: Despite utilising the same LGA1151 socket as 200 & 100 Series Motherboards, ONLY Intel 8th and 9th gen 'Coffee Lake' CPUs are compatible with these Intel Z370 Motherboards.
