Prime Z370-A II for 8th and 9th Gen Intel builds

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z370 chipset and an LGA1151 socket to support Core i7, i5 and i3 processors from the 8th and 9th generations. It is designed for enthusiasts who want a full-size board with robust connectivity and overclocking headroom.

Dual M.2 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 give fast storage

Two M.2 slots provide room for primary and secondary drives, while USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports deliver 10 Gbps transfer speeds for external devices. The board also includes Thunderbolt 3 support and Intel Optane memory compatibility for caching slower storage.

Reinforced Safe Slots

Patent-pending Safe Slots use injection-moulded metal framing to hold heavy graphics cards without flex. Audio is handled by the Realtek S1220A codec with Japanese capacitors, driving 8-channel output through Crystal Sound 3 circuitry.
