The Gigabyte H370M D3H in detail
The Gigabyte H370M D3H Micro-ATX motherboard for the Intel Core processors of the 8000 series has a total of two PCIe x16 slots, one of which is connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes, while the other is connected with four data lines , The board supports AMDs CrossFire technology and offers the option of installing multiple graphics cards. For additional plug-in and expansion cards, the board also has a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot.

Up to 64 GB RAM can be operated in the four DIMM slots for DDR4 RAM in fast dual-channel mode. RAM modules up to a 6666 MHz memory clock are supported by the Coffee Lake CPUs. Furthermore, the motherboard offers an M.2 slot, which is connected to the chipset via four PCIe 3.0 lanes and supports the extremely fast NVMe SSDs. The NVMe protocol allows a data transfer rate of almost 4 GB / s. This makes M.2 PCIe SSDs up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs! A second M.2 slot is connected with two PCIe 3.0 lanes and thus offers at least a transfer rate of just under 2 GB / s. Six SATA 6G ports also allow you to connect to conventional drives such as SSDs, HDDs and optical drives.

The Gigabyte H370M D3H has a particularly thin and two-way plug-in USB 3.1-type C port on the I / O panel as well as a USB 3.1 Type A port. USB 3.1 ports are twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports with maximum speeds of 10 Gbps! Four USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect additional peripherals. A LAN socket for the Intel i219V LAN chip and audio outputs for the Realtek ALC892 audio codec are also located on the I / O panel. The external connection repertoire is rounded off by a DVI, HDMI and D-Sub connection for image reproduction via the integrated graphics unit of the processor.

Internally, the motherboard comes with a USB 3.0 header, two USB 2.0 headers and a TPM header. In addition to a 4-pin CPU cooler header, the board provides three 4-pin chassis fan headers. One of the special features of the Gigabyte H370M D3H is the additional RGB LED header for connecting RGB LED strips or fans.
