Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the Z170X-GAMING 3 handle before the four DIMM slots are full?

The board supports up to 64GB of DDR4 across its four DIMM slots.

What is the sustained noise and heat profile of the onboard Killer E2201 LAN and Realtek ALC1150 audio during all-day operation?

The Killer E2201 LAN and Realtek ALC1150 audio with TI Burr Brown OPA2134 amplifier run passively, so they add no fan noise and minimal heat under continuous load.

Which Intel processor generation and socket must I already have for this LGA 1151 board to work?

You need a 6th or 7th generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron processor in an LGA 1151 socket.
