The Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi is an ATX motherboard for Intel's 8th & 9th-generation Core series processors (code named Coffee Lake). It offers a full range of features, a good mix of I/O ports, and solid build quality.
In terms of connectivity, this board is well rounded. It has HDMI 1.4 video output for use with the Intel graphics built into the CPU - a great backup option, in case the dedicated video card in a system isn't working. For memory it has four DDR4 slots, allowing up to 64GB of 2666MHz RAM. Drive connectivity includes six SATA III ports plus two M.2 slots. It also has both analog and digital audio outputs, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, four USB 2.0 ports, three USB 3.0 ports, and three 3.1 ports (including one Type C). For expansion cards, there are six total PCI-Express slots in varying sizes. SLI and Crossfire are supported as well, though when two video cards are installed the PCI-E slots they are in run at x8 speed rather than x16.
