Overview

Designed for 9th generation Intel Core processors, the Prime Z390-A delivers maximum performance with customizable style. 5-Way Optimization provides AI overclocking and dynamic fan calibration while dual M.2 and USB 3.1 Gen2 delivers maximum transfer speeds. Aura Sync RGB with addressable headers customize your build.

5-Way Optimization

The overclocking module of AI Suite's 5-Way Optimization has been revamped for the Z390 platform. With a revised back-end that has the intelligence to overclock a CPU based upon smart prediction and thermal telemetry, this new version quickly delivers overclocking results that would typically take days of manual tuning.

Ultrafast Connectivity

With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data. Also, with backward compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexability and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

Optimem ll

Our OptiMem II tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned signaling.

Cooler by Design

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and via Fan Xpert 4 you can even map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU and CPU-intensive tasks.

Upgrade to unrivaled audio

Prime Z390-A utilizes a unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek — the Realtek S1220A. It also features an unprecedented 120dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and a 113dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality. Additionally, a new impedance-sensing circuit automatically adjusts gain to ensure the optimal volume range for your headphones.

Visual Beauty

A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers.* And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

Question:	Does it support over clocking
Answer:	Technically it does, but depending on what you're overclocking I wouldn't recommend going to heavy on it. For significant overclocking you'd want to look at an X470 board.
Question:	does support ryzen 5 3600 ? without BIOS update
Answer:	In my experience, Ryzen 5 3600 did not work on this motherboard without updating BIOS from F50 to F60C.
Question:	Do the ones shipped now work with ryzen 3rd gen cpus? Or is there a way to update it without any older version
Answer:	Amazon must have shipped an old model. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and I get the black screen of death. Now I’m drowning in support threads from AMD and Gigabyte.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it support overclocking
Answer:	Yes, it is possible to overclock with this motherboard.
Question:	does ryzen 5 2600x work it
Answer:	Yes the RYZEN 5 2600X CPU is supported by the X470 GAMING PLUS motherboard.
Question:	Will this board work with corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8gb) ddr4 dram 3000mhz (cmk16gx4m2b3000c
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	What is the best set of ram to get for this Mother Board? Looking for at least 16 gigs
Answer:	Not saying best, but would recommend either of these based on the fact they worked for me on Ryzen MSI X470 board. Option 1: Gskill: F4-3200C16D-16GVGB Option 2: PNY:MD16GK2D4320016AXR. Both ran right up at 3200, PNY had an additional profile. The timings might have been theoretically better on PNY. I'd pick the cheapest though they are both CAS 16. My guess is they are actually the same chip. Please update your bios first, esp before you start the xmp profile. You'll see MSI actually has the Gskill on their approved list now. If you aren't asking about compatibility and more about perf, most of what i have read says go for 3000 or above but after about 3200 the benefits stop. Timings also matter. Both of the ones i have listed are fairly middle of the road, nothing special but they'll do the job.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this board support XMP memory profiles
Answer:	NOOBS stands for New Out Of the Box Softwear. It is a piece of softwear put together by the people who design and build the Debian (Named for Debbie and Ian, hence Debian) software which is designed Especially for the Raspberry Pi. You will find it is the best choice and fit for the Machine itself. With the Canakit you get EVERYTHING you need to get started. By following their excellent instructions, you will soon be up and running. I believe they have just about thought of everything. Correct power supply, Power on/off switch, adapter for both power and Mini HDMI connectors and a fan powered case. With the NOOBS on the Micro SD HD card you can choose the OS you prefer from about 5-6 choices. I recommend Raspbian Buster, and the Elec one that supplies the Kodi installation of the OS. The HD card you are supplied is big enough to hold both systems. That way, you can dual boot to either one and live like a king. Enjoy the Raspberry Pi 4 You have one of the best single board computers ever built. Should give you years of "building" or "Makers" fun.
Question:	Does this motherboard work with older cpus
Answer:	The heat sinks aren’t officially a requirement but since they are in the kit it makes perfect sense to put the on especially if you plan to run your pi with passive cooling. Mine also came with the fan.
Question:	It says the socket type is lga 1155 and 1200 is that a mistake or am I just missing some information about this and that's normal
Answer:	A small fan is included, but it is not really required unless you are going to run the board hard with 24/7 computing projects. For distributed computing projects where the CPU is run at 100%, the fan will hold temps down by about 10 deg C with the heatsinks.
Question:	Does this motherboard have PCIe 4.0 support
Answer:	If he is into programming then yes, this is perfect for him and completely age appropriate. We got our son his first raspberry pi when he was 10 and he blows us away with his knowledge! It’s a great way to grow his curiosity and programming skills.

Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard and gives users up-to-the-second details on flow rate and temperatures.

RGB Fusion

The onboard Digital LED's shine beautifully against the Z390 motherboard's monochrome pallet. Paint your system with bold colors with full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion application, which gives the user complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.

Dual M.2 with Dual Thermal Guard

With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

AORUS 360 Armor

AORUS motherboards are layered with Ultra Durable protection, such as an Integrated I/O shield, memory armor and PCIe armor, to give users a strong foundation to build their gaming systems.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this support the new ryzen 5000 series out of the box
Answer:	I ordered this mobo from Amazon on January 29, 2021 and the unit I received still needed a BIOS update for Zen 3 / Ryzen 5000 series.
Question:	Will this motherboard going to work with the new ryzen out of the box? Or I will need to update the bios
Answer:	Just got this board (Feb 2021) and msinfo32 is still showing rev_02 for the I225-V.
Question:	Can anyone who purchased recently confirm if this board is shipping with b3 stepping of the i225-v lan chip yet
Answer:	Only one. The other is 3.0. Both still only run in x4 mode. Still more than enough bus for an NVME drive though. " 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors : 1 x M.2_1 socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support(SATA & PCIe 4.0 x4 mode) AMD B550 Chipset : 1 x M.2_2 socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode) "
Question:	Those dual m. 2 slots (nvme ssd) are both pcie 4.0? or only one is
Answer:	Please ignore the previous answers. Both are wrong. B550 boards will accept 1st, 3rd, and future 4th gen CPU's. It does NOT accept Gen 2. The X-570 series will accept all 4 gens.
