Product overview
Released October 8, 2018 with Intel’s Z390 platform for 8th/9th‑gen Coffee Lake/Refresh CPUs, the Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite is an ATX LGA1151 motherboard in the Intel 300‑series family. It sits in the high_end Z‑series tier: a feature‑rich board that exists to enable CPU overclocking with a solid ATX feature set at approachable pricing.
It’s well‑suited to overclocking K‑SKU 8th/9th‑gen chips, high‑speed DDR4 tuning, and storage‑heavy builds thanks to two PCIe/SATA M.2 slots and six SATA ports. PCIe 3.0 expansion, a front‑panel USB‑C header, and Intel Gigabit LAN (no onboard Wi‑Fi) cover common needs for mid/full‑tower systems. It’s now listed as a legacy (discontinued) model, so availability is primarily used or old stock.
