Product Showcase

The Z270 motherboard will get you six Intel chipset based SATA 6 Gb/s storage ports to the motherboard. Combined in here are two M.2. PCI Express slots using x4 lanes, giving the ports not 10 GB/sec but 32 GB/sec performance. There are plenty USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports available though internal connectors motherboard connectors. BTW the industry calls USB 3.0 USB 3.1 Gen 1 these days, a little misleading TBH. USB 3.1 Gen 2 would be the new and proper 10 Gbps connectors.
 

You will get four DIMM slots offer support for dual-channel DDR4 memory up to even 4,000+MHz (OC). If you activate the XMP 2.0 profile in the BIOS, your memory will be automatically configured for you at its maximum clock speed and recommended voltage.  You can install a maximum of 64 GB in total. Again, XMP 2.0 must be supported, we'll show you this setup running at 2,133 and extremely high XMP freqeuency emasurements later on in the article.

Yep, you may unleash the ultimate some power in graphics configurations. Support for up to 3 full length discrete VGA cards. SLI Connectors. Nothing Crossfire, as AMD dropped Crossfire bridges and passes compositing data over the PCI-Express bus these days. Mind you that we can only recommend you to go with 2x multi-GPU. Three cards would bog down the 3rd card at a x4 link.
 

You'll find lots of little extra connectors on the PCB intended for feature like LED switches, a Diagnostic post LED is also rpesent and will display the status/post code.
