Z68 Express LGA1155 motherboard

This GIGABYTE board uses the Intel Z68 Express chipset and an LGA1155 socket for second and third-generation Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. It provides four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 32 GB of system memory in a dual-channel layout. The board includes a Realtek ALC889 audio codec with 7.1-channel output and a single Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit LAN port.

Enthusiasts using Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPUs

Builders upgrading an existing LGA1155 system or assembling a retro enthusiast platform will find the Z68 feature set and multi-GPU support relevant. Buyers starting a new modern build cannot use this board because it lacks the socket, memory type and chipset required for current processors.

Touch BIOS and 3x USB Power

Touch BIOS allows settings changes without a full reboot cycle, reducing downtime during tuning. The 3x USB Power design adds On/Off Charge ports that keep devices charging even when the system is powered down. Intel Smart Response Technology can use a compatible SSD as a cache to accelerate a mechanical hard drive.
