Supermicro C9Z390-PGW Motherboard Review
 

Today on the test bench we have our first Z390 based motherboard for review. As you know from the title, this isn’t a board from “the big four” as I like to call them, but from Supermicro, a company much better known in the enterprise and server space than for the consumer side and gaming. The C9Z390-PGW we will be looking at isn’t their first foray into this arena however, as they have had consumer level motherboards since the Z170 days.

The C9Z390-PGW hails from their Professional Gaming line, called SuperO, which according to their website “… is the best SuperO has to offer, and as the flagship of the SuperO fleet, contains the latest in features and performance-enhancing technologies to surpass your expectations.” One of the board’s claims to fame is its use of 10G LAN as well as a PLX chip to increase the amount of PCIe lanes available. I don’t believe one will find those features on other Z390 based motherboards, at least not on the same motherboard anyway.

We will put the board through its paces and see how it stacks up against other Z390 based boards as well as show some of the features and specifications and what makes it tick.
