The Z390-E has attractive packaging which is indicative of the ROG portfolio. A depiction of the motherboard can seen on the on the front, along with the supporting technologies, while on the reverse there is a schematic diagram with significant features listed.

Although we receive an SLI bridge with this motherboard, it is only compatible with GTX 10-Series graphics cards such as the GTX 1070, 1080 and 1080 Ti, since it is a HB Bridge. Therefore, the new NVIDIA RTX 20-series graphic cards are not compatible.
We use to seeing some impressive designs from the ROG team and the Z390-E is no exception. This motherboard oozes style and finesse. So far, its our favourite choice going on looks alone.
The PCB is black but features a semi-matt finish, all of the slots and ports are black and there is a mixture of black/gunmetal heatsinks. With such a neutral theme, itll be easy to pair up this motherboard with a whole host of other hardware without colours mismatching.
Z390-E conforms to the ATX form factor, measuring in at 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm.
