GIGABYTE Z590 Vision G

Moving away from GIGBAYTE's gaming-focused Z590 models, its Vision series is designed for content creators, focusing on performance and creativity. Although any Z590 model will generally perform within the limitations of the processor installed, the GIGABYTE Z590 Vision G brings GIGABYTE's VisionLink into play, which allows plenty of functionality surrounding the USB Type-C ports. It follows a very light aesthetic with white and silver heatsinks and purple accented strips on the rear panel cover and just above the chipset heatsink for some color contrast.

The Z590 Vision G includes three full-length PCIe slots, with the top slot operating at PCIe 4.0 x16, and the other two at PCIe 3.0 x4. The full-length slots' restrictions reflect the impressive storage options, with four M.2 slots, two operating at PCIe 4.0 x4 and the other two at PCIe 3.0 x4, with six SATA ports that include support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays. At the time of writing, GIGABYTE hasn't released the QVL list for the Z590 Vision G, so memory is listed at Intel spec DDR4-3200, although there are four memory slots with support for up to 128 GB. While many models on Z590 are utilizing the native USB 3.2 G2x2 support, GIGABYTE adds one USB G2x2 Type-C front panel header on top of what's on the rear panel. 

On the rear panel is a pair of USB 3.2 G2x2 Type-C ports with a single DisplayPort video input, with a further two USB 3.2 G2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 G1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports. The GIGABYTE Z590 Vision G includes an Intel I225-V 2.5 GbE controller, with six 3.5 mm audio jacks powered by Realtek's latest ALC4080 HD audio codec. For users planning on using Intel's integrated graphics, there's a single HDMI video output, and last but not least, GIGABYTE includes a PS/2 keyboard and mouse legacy input.

At the time of writing, GIGABYTE hasn't shared any details on its Z590 models' pricing.

    If my x570 Aorus Master fan is "active", it has sure fooled me...;) It is not audible.

    I'm on a Asus Prime X570-Pro for just over a year now and I've not heard the chipset fan once totally overblown issue. Drama queens!

    I think it's impressive Intel kept a PCIe4.0 chipset down to 6w TDP. Definitely doesn't need active cooling.

    The chipset isn't Gen4.

    Not surprised if they're expecting users to overclock chips that will exceed 200W at stock settings. 😬

    Is it just me or are the MSRPs listed utterly insane? Intel has been relegated to a poor man's AMD, yet these crazy prices? As they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

    I don't think it's actually the chipset costs that are inflating the price of the boards, but the ridiculous power circuit and components required to deliver over 200w of power to the CPU's in order for these board makers to take advantage of PL2.

    I thought the active fan is for the 10 gig networking chip. It is facing that heatsink which is right next to the vrm heatsink.

    Looking at the prices, I'm really, REALLY glad that I bought an AORUS Z490 Elite (£154, new) from eBay. I just don't understand the prices.

    I've just done exactly the same, no regrets whatsoever
