A Flagship product needs to be future-proofed so your system stays up-to-date with the latest technology. Z590 AORUS XTREME provides all next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity to keep you up to speed.
Next Generation Intel Thunderbolt™ 4
Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 – The fastest 40Gb/s single-wire connection

Powered by Intel's own Thunderbolt controller the new Thunderbolt™ 4 protocol, which is available over two USB Type-C® connectors on the back I/O of the GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME, brings an unprecedented single-wire bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s -- twice more than USB3.2 Gen2x2! This incredible increase in bandwidth is also accompanied with support for different protocols such as DisplayPort 1.4a* and compliant with USB4 standard, which is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0, opening up a world of new possibilities.


Daisy-chain Multiple Devices

Support for DisplayPort 1.4 makes Thunderbolt™ 4 a must have for any enthusiast. The Z590 AORUS XTREME is able to support two displays in 4K resolution at 60 FPS or one display in 8K resolution. In addition, Thunderbolt™ 4 over USB Type-C® has revolutionary industry-first features such as Power Delivery 2.0, USB4 specification compliance, and the ability to daisy-chain up to 10 devices thanks to the Z590 AORUS XTREME's dual USB Type-C® ports.
