Product Showcase

The motherboard brings a whopping 10-ports SATA 6 Gb/s storage supporting RAID RST and SRT and SSD TRIM on RAID 0 configurations. 

SATA Express is supported with one connector as well. Located above it is a M.2. PCI Express slot. This one gets 10 Gbps of bandwidth, and there is an extra M.2. slot for a WIFI/Bluetooth module (not included).

Just one Ethernet jack, that's it. No 2nd one or WIFI. That is a bit of a miss really. Make note of all the USB lovin' you will receive. There are 6x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0 ports available though internal connectors motherboard connectors delivered by the Intel chipset. The white USB connector is a Q-Flash USB port.

You get eight DIMM slots offering support for quad-channel DDR4 memory up 3000 MHz (OC). You can install a maximum of 64 GB in total. XMP 2.0 must be supported, we'll show you this petite setup running at 2133 MHz. 

Though there are no diagnostic leds and power/OC/reset buttons to be found on this board, Gigabyte did tastefully cheer it up with a handful of LEDs.
