EVGA Z590 FTW WIFI (121-RL-E597)
The 20 CML Gen3 PCIe lanes are pulled from the CPU and shared with the
x16 PCIe slot (PE2).
14. PCIe Slot x8
PCIe x16/x8 slots are primarily for video cards. These full-length slots will
provide up to 8 lanes of bandwidth to a full-size card, and are backwards
compatible with x8, x4, and x1 length cards.
This slot is limited to a maximum of 8 lanes as it shares bandwidth with the
primary PCIe x16 slot 1 (PE1). This slot is primarily recommended for
secondary video cards, such as the 2
card, audio card, etc.
* Please see the description for Physical (length) vs Electrical (lanes) on Page 21.
15. PCIe Slot x4
PCIe x4 is a smaller form-factor PCIe card slot. These can be used for low-
bandwidth products, such as a PCIe SSD card, capture card, audio card, etc.
16. ARGB LED Controller Header
The ARGB header is a 5V. 3-pin header with a current limit of 2A; anything
above 2A will trigger overcurrent protection and lock at 2A. This header allows
for far more flexible options to configure your RGB lighting via software-based
control within Windows via EVGA ELEET X1, and supports up to 125 LEDs.
Please see Page 44 for header specifics, and Page 138 for control options in
ELEET X1.
17. RGB LED Controller Header
The RGB header is a 12V. 4 pin header with a current limit of 2A; anything
above 2A will trigger overcurrent protection and lock at 2A. This header allows
for software-based control within Windows for RGB devices via EVGA
ELEET X1. Please see Page 45 for header specifics, and Page 138 for control
options in ELEET X1.
18. Power Button
This is an onboard power button, and may be used in place of, or in
conjunction with, a front panel power button wired to the board.
Benching systems, or test benches before final assembly, are best served by
using the onboard power because it removes the need to wire a Power/Reset
button or cross posts with a screwdriver, which is a semi-common practice.
This button provides a safer and easier option than jumpering the Power posts.
