Gigabyte Z170N WIFI, Intel Z170 Mainboard - Socket 1151 [GA-Z170N-WIFI]

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 Gigabyte Z170N-WIFI is a Mini-ITX Z170 mainboard illustrating especially for fast quad-core processors of the Core i7 or Core i5 series an ideal base - as Z170 board supports it, of course, overclocking CPUs of the K-series, which are equipped with a freely selectable multiplier. The black board has two DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. For graphics cards provides the board a single PCIe 3.0 x16 Slot ready.

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 mainboard - for this there are two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DVI-D dual link connection. The motherboard convinced bargain among others with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth module, which even the most rapid ac-Fi standard and Bluetooth 4.1 support, 7.1 sound through the Realtek ALC1150 chipset, a turbo M.2 slot, six USB 3.0 slots, six USB 2.0 ports, twice SATA Express, six times SATA 6G, three fan connectors, two LAN controller with Intel I219-V-chip or Intel 211-AT-Chip , XMP support and several overclocking features.
