ATX board for 8th Gen Intel Core CPUs on LGA 1151 with four DDR4 slots up to 64 GB, triple PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, dual Ultra M.2, six SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports, Intel I219-V LAN.
The board uses the Intel Z370 chipset and accepts 8th Generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1151 socket. It is not backward compatible with earlier LGA 1151 CPUs. Four DDR4 slots support up to 64GB in dual-channel mode.
Memory speeds range from 2133 up to 4333+(OC) with supported modules, while 8th Gen CPUs officially run DDR4 at 2666. Three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots operate at x16, x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4 depending on population, and two Ultra M.2 sockets deliver PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth for NVMe SSDs.
Six native SATA3 ports plus two ASMedia ASM1061 ports provide RAID 0/1/5/10, NCQ, AHCI and hot-plug support. M2_1 shares lanes with SATA3_0 and SATA3_1, so using that M.2 slot disables those two SATA connectors.
