Socket LGA 1151 Z270 ATX board

The GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-UD3 rev 1.0 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z270 chipset for 6th and 7th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It provides four 288-pin DDR4 slots supporting dual-channel memory up to 64GB with overclocked speeds ranging from 2133 to 3866 MT/s. The board targets builders who need a full-size layout with a single full-speed PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot.

Verify CPU generation and cooler clearance

This revision is not compatible with Intel 8th generation CPUs, so confirm the processor is a supported LGA 1151 model before ordering. The primary PCIEX16 slot runs at x16, but adding a card in the PCIEX8 slot reduces the primary to x8 mode, while the PCIEX4 slot provides an additional x4 link. Ensure the chosen CPU cooler fits the ATX mounting holes and does not block the four memory slots or the three PCI Express x1 slots.

Realtek ALC1220 audio and Intel gigabit LAN

Onboard sound uses the Realtek ALC1220 codec with 2, 4, 5.1 and 7.1-channel output options, while networking is handled by an Intel GbE LAN controller limited to 1Gbps. Storage includes six SATA 6Gb/s ports, one SATA Express connector and a single M.2 Socket 3 M-key slot accepting 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives with both SATA and PCIe x4 or x2 signalling. The rear panel supplies an HDMI port capable of 4096 horizontal resolution for integrated graphics.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the GA-Z270X-UD3 rev 1.0 and what must I buy separately?

The motherboard itself is included; you must purchase a compatible LGA 1151 processor, DDR4 memory modules, storage drives, a graphics card if your CPU lacks integrated graphics, and a power supply separately.

Which DDR4 speed should I choose for the four 288-pin slots to reach 64 GB?

The board supports DDR4 from 2133 up to 3866 (O.C.); pick a matched 4-module kit within that range — 3200 or 3600 MHz kits are common sweet spots — to fill all four slots and hit the 64 GB maximum.

What does the single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot running at x16 mean once a graphics card is installed?

It provides a full x16 electrical link to the CPU for one graphics card; adding a card in the second x16-sized slot drops the primary slot to x8 because the two slots share bandwidth.
