  • Our take on the Gigabyte Z390 DESIGNARE

    The Gigabyte Z390 Designare is a full-size ATX motherboard for Intel's 8th and 9th generation Core processors on the Z390 chipset. It targets creators and workstation builders: dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, DisplayPort in and out, and two M.2 slots with heatsinks. It supports up to 128GB of DDR4 and overclocking, and it is a cheaper alternative to workstation boards that carry the same Thunderbolt connectivity. Reviewers rate its build and port selection highly but note the older platform and limited PCIe lanes.

    Questions and answers

    Does it support 9th generation Intel Core CPUs?
    Yes. It supports 8th and 9th generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors on the LGA 1151 socket. A BIOS update may be needed for some 9th generation chips.
    How many M.2 drives can I install?
    Two M.2 drives, both M key and both with heatsinks. Check the manual, because using both Thunderbolt ports and both M.2 slots can share bandwidth.
    Does it have built-in Wi-Fi?
    No. It has dual Gigabit Ethernet only, so you need a Wi-Fi card or a USB adapter for wireless.
    Can I use it for a Hackintosh or macOS build?
    It is a popular choice for that because of its Thunderbolt 3 and Intel networking, but compatibility depends on the macOS version and patches. It is not officially supported.
    What memory does it take?
    DDR4 DIMMs in four slots, up to 128GB. Overclocked memory speeds depend on the CPU's memory controller.
    Is it good for gaming?
    It works for gaming, but its strengths are Thunderbolt and creator connectivity. Gamers can find newer boards with PCIe 4.0 for less.
    Where is the Gigabyte Z390 DESIGNARE cheapest?
    At Newegg, for $300.27, as of our latest check.
