ASRock Z170M-ITX/AC, Intel Z170 Mainboard - Sockel 1151 [Z170M-ITX/AC]

It is important that, inter alia, for equipping with M.2 slots that now - depending on the motherboard - can contain up to three slots, each with four PCIe 3.0-lines, where it previously was only one slot, which in most cases was connected only with two data lines. This allows having a bandwidth of approximately 4 GB / s per slot, the use of several extremely fast M.2 SSDs and enables bypassing the slower SATA 6G standards, there are still up to six times. Even with USB 3.0 lot has changed, from a maximum of 14 USB ports now support up to 10 fast 3.0 standard and is no longer only a maximum of 6. Overall, a Skylake CPU together with a series-100 chipset is a very modern and well-equipped platform.

When ASRock Z170M-ITX / AC is a well-equipped Z170 Mainboard in Mini-ITX form factor, which represents particularly for fast quad-core processors of the Core i7 or Core i5 series an ideal base - as Z170- Board supports of course also overclocking of CPUs of the K-series, which are equipped with a freely selectable multiplier. The black motherboard with copper-colored heatsink has two DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. For graphics cards provides the board a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot ready. For further plug-in cards is a single mini-PCI Express slot available.

If no graphics card is present, can be thanks to the integrated graphics processor a Skylake CPU monitors connected directly to the back of the motherboard - this related to HDMI, DVI-D and DisplayPort three ports. The motherboard convinced bargain among others with excellent 7.1 sound with Realtek ALC1150 chipset, integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module, which even supports the particularly fast ac-Fi standard, an Ultra-M.2 slot, two USB 3.1 ports (one Type A and Type C), eight USB 3.0 slots (incl. a Fatal1ty mouse port), two USB 2.0 ports, mSATA, four times SATA 6G, three fan connectors, two Gigabit LAN controllers (I219-V and RTL8111-H), a TPM header, XMP support and several overclocking features.
