Socket LGA 1151 mATX board

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z270G GAMING is an Intel Z270 motherboard built for the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors and delivers four DDR4 slots supporting up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode. The mATX form factor fits compact gaming chassis while still providing two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and two M.2 sockets.

Builders needing native 8th-generation support

This board is not compatible with Intel 8th Gen CPUs, so buyers planning a Coffee Lake upgrade cannot use it. It suits enthusiasts staying on 6th or 7th generation chips who want overclocking headroom, SupremeFX S1220A audio and onboard 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO. Users requiring more than two M.2 drives or a full-size ATX layout will need a different platform.

Dual M.2 sockets with PCIe 3.0 x4 wiring

One M.2 socket accepts both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 modules in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths, while the second supports PCIe 3.0 x4 drives up to 21100 length. This arrangement lets you install a fast boot drive and a high-capacity secondary SSD without sacrificing a PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

Will the 4-pin PWM fan headers controlled by FanXpert 4 need periodic cleaning or replacement under continuous operation?

FanXpert 4 manages the 4-pin PWM headers on this board; the fans themselves may need dust cleaning over time, but the motherboard headers are solid-state and do not wear out.

Which thermal limit appears first when the 8-phase VRM runs an overclocked Core i7 at full load for hours?

The 8-phase VRM with heatsinks will hit its thermal throttle point before the chipset or M.2 drives under sustained heavy load.

How loud do the VRM and chipset fans get when the board runs 24/7 with Aura RGB enabled?

This mATX board uses passive heatsinks on the VRM and chipset, so there are no dedicated fans to generate noise; only case fans attached to the 4-pin headers will be audible.
