Colorful is the first one to unveil its next-generation Intel motherboards running the Z590 and B560 chipsets. Both motherboards feature a white color theme which is ideal for all-white gaming PC builds. The iGame Z590 Vulcan W and VCN B560M Frozen V20 aim to complement Colorful’s Ultra White Series RTX 30 graphics cards.
Colorful iGame Z590 Vulcan W and iGame Z590 Vulcan X
The Colorful iGame Z590 Vulcan W and iGame Z590 Vulcan X motherboards come with the same specs and feature set with the only exception being its color. Both feature a very eye-catching “Vultune” design with ARGB lighting on the PCHB heatsink. The extended PCH heatsink delivers efficient heat dissipation for the Z590 chipset as well as two M.2 SSDs. Additional RGB can be also found on the I/O shroud and VRM heatsink.
Built for Intel’s latest 11th Gen processors, both the iGame Z590 Vulcan W and Vulcan X support PCI-E 4.0. The top M.2 slot also supports PCI-E Gen 4.0 for highspeed Gen4 NVMe SSDs while the remaining two M.2 slots are PCI-E Gen 3 with Intel Optane support. Lastly, both motherboards are equipped with Intel’s latest Wi-Fi 6 wireless solution and Intel’s 2.5GbE networking.
