Z170 ATX Board for LGA 1151 CPUs

The GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 revision 1.0 is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z170 chipset for LGA 1151 processors including Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron. It targets enthusiasts who want a feature-rich foundation for a gaming or workstation build without moving to a newer platform.

Four DDR4 Slots and Flexible PCIe Layout

Four 288-pin slots support dual-channel DDR4 up to 3466 MT/s overclocked with a 64 GB maximum capacity. A primary PCIe 3.0 x16 slot runs at x16, a second at x8 sharing bandwidth, and a third at x4 sharing with a PCIe x1 slot, giving options for single or multi-GPU arrangements while three additional x1 slots handle add-in cards.

Six SATA Ports Plus Two M.2 Sockets

Storage connectivity includes six SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support, three SATA Express connectors and two M.2 Socket 3 connectors for fast solid-state drives. Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC1150 codec for up to 7.1-channel output and networking is handled by a Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2201 controller at 1 Gbps.
