The Best for The Pro
Showcasing a state-of-the-art design, excellent functionality, an impressive thermal design, next generation connectivity, a Hi-Fi level audio system, and AORUS aesthetics, the flagship Z590 AORUS XTREME motherboard dominates the competition.
UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE
To unleash the full potential of the new Intel 11th Gen CPU, the motherboard requires the best CPU power, memory and IO design. With the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, Z590 AORUS XTREME is a true beast among motherboards.
20+1 PHASES TRUE POWER DESIGN
- Pure Digital PWM Architecture
- 100A DrMOS for Each Phase

TRUE POWER DESIGN
In order to unleash the full performance of the new high core count CPUs, GIGABYTE uses true power phases, a fully load-balanced VRM design with doublers, and a tantalum polymer capacitor array. By using doublers, the power design ensures that the high power draw of the CPU is fully balanced across all MOSFETs to achieve better efficiency and lower temperatures. In contrast, MOSFETs in competitors’ traditional parallel power designs are not as well balanced which leads to lower efficiency and higher temperatures. For sudden changes between idle and high load states from the CPU, GIGABYTE utilizes a tantalum polymer capacitor array directly under the CPU socket as a buffer to improve transient response and stability under high CPU frequencies.
Improved Transient Response
By using brand new VRM design and Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Array, Z590 AORUS motherboard transient response and stability is highly improved under overclocking and heavy loading condition.
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5100MHz and Beyond
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5100MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.

Fins-Array II with NanoCarbon Coating
Fins-Array II use a new louvered stacked-fins design which not only increases surface area by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
Direct-Touch Heatpipe II
With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made from a new manufacturing process that narrows the gap between the Heatpipe and heatsink, the new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly help transfers heat on the MOSFET.
Aluminum Cover
IO Cover is made from aluminum and is connected with Fins-Array to help overall MOSFET heat dissipation.
3X M.2 Thermal Guard II
Enlarged double-sided M.2 heatsink prevents high-speed, large capacity PCIe 3.0 SSDs with double side flash from throttling due to overheating.
LAIRD 7.5 W/mK Thermal Pad
By using 1.5mm thicker 7.5 W/mK thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 4x more heat compared to traditional thermal pads in the same time.
NanoCarbon Baseplate
A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the baseplate through electrostatic adhesion to enhance thermal radiation capability.
Right Angled Connectors
Over 90% of connectors on Z590 AORUS XTREME are specifically designed to be right angled for easy cable management and clean airflow in the chassis.
Fins-Array II
Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is usually only used on industrial equipment that need compact heat exchangers. It has a special secondary fins structure that enhances heat transfer performance.
Louver Directed Flow
Heat flow that goes through fins will enter from the leading edge of the louver and is then directed by other louvers or fins. This louver directed flow can greatly improve heat transfer performance.
Circulation Zone
Because of pressure difference and flow separation, a circulation zone will be formed between louvered fins. This circulation will cause flow entrain and eject in the vortice form which improves thermal efficiency.
NanoCarbon Coated Fin Array Heatsink
As CPUs get more powerful, VRM modules get hotter under ultra high performance. Being the first adopters among industry using NanoCarbon as coating material to enhance thermal radiation speed up heat dissipation. Nanocarbon is coated onto the heatsink through electrostatic adhesion. The coating material covers the entire finned heatsink with 200?m in thickness. In that way, heat is dissipated more quickly. The tests show 10% cooler with the NanoCarbon coating.
Direct-Touch Heatpipe II
With an extra large 8mm heat pipe and made from a new manufacturing process to narrow the gap between the heat pipe and heatsink, new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly helps transfer heat on MOSFETs.
NanoCarbon Baseplate
- Base plate made of aluminum instead of traditional iron ensures 3X thermal conductivity.
- A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the base plate through electrostatic adhesion to enhance thermal radiation capability.
- Transfer heat from the back side PCB to the base plate so the NanoCarbon base plate can dissipate heat passively.
- Effectively lowers backside PWM component temperature by 10%.
