LGA 1151 Z270 ATX motherboard

The ASUS PRIME Z270-P is an ATX Intel motherboard built around the Z270 chipset for LGA 1151 processors. It accepts Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs with Turbo Boost 2.0 support. Four 288-pin DDR4 slots provide dual-channel memory up to 64 GB and speeds ranging from 2133 to 3866 MHz when overclocked.

Builders needing 64 GB dual-channel DDR4

This board suits builders who want up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4 and two M.2 sockets that accept 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives in either SATA or PCIe x4 modes. It is not compatible with Intel 8th Gen CPUs, so anyone planning a Coffee Lake upgrade should look at a 300-series chipset instead.

Two M.2 sockets share bandwidth with SATA_1

The two M.2 Socket 3 slots add fast storage options, but installing a SATA-mode drive in the M.2_1 socket disables the SATA_1 port. Rear I/O includes HDMI 1.4b for 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz or 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz, DVI-D at 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and dual PS/2 connectors. Realtek ALC887 8-channel audio and RTL8111H 1 Gbps LAN handle sound and networking.

Questions about this item

Will my DDR4-3200 memory run at its rated speed on this board?

Yes, DDR4-3200 is listed among the supported overclocked speeds, so the board can run it when XMP is enabled.

Can I use an 8th-generation Intel Core processor with this motherboard?

No, the specifications state the socket is not compatible with 8th-generation CPUs; it supports 6th and 7th-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors.

How many SATA 6Gb/s drives can I connect if I also use an M.2 SATA SSD in the first slot?

You can connect three SATA drives because installing a SATA-mode M.2 device in the first M.2 socket disables the first SATA port.
