Z270 Gaming Board for 7th & 6th Gen Intel CPUs

This motherboard uses the Intel Z270 chipset and an LGA1151 socket to support 7th and 6th Generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It targets builders assembling a new system or upgrading an existing platform that requires this specific socket and generation pairing.

Four DDR4 Slots and Dual NVMe M.2 with RAID 0

The board provides four DIMM slots for dual-channel non-ECC unbuffered DDR4 memory. Two M.2 slots accept NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 or SATA drives and can be configured in RAID 0, freeing up traditional SATA ports for additional storage devices.

120 dB Audio and USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C

The onboard ALC1220 codec delivers 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio with a smart headphone amplifier for high-fidelity output. Fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports include both Type-C and Type-A connectors, while Intel Optane Memory readiness adds caching headroom for supported drives.

Questions about this item

Does this motherboard accept standard DDR4 memory modules in a dual-channel layout?

The board provides four DIMM slots for dual-channel non-ECC unbuffered DDR4, so any standard DDR4 kit will install and run in dual-channel mode when populated in matched pairs.

Can I run two NVMe SSDs in a RAID 0 array on this board?

Two M.2 slots are wired for PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA, and the chipset supports dual NVMe PCIe SSDs in RAID 0, so a pair of NVMe drives can be combined into a single high-speed volume.

What front-panel USB connectors does the board expose for a case?

The rear I/O includes USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports in both Type-C and Type-A form, and internal headers are available for additional front-panel USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 connections.
