MSI Z270 SLI LGA1151 ATX Motherboard
Overview
Description
The MSI Z270 SLI LGA1151 ATX Motherboard is designed for SLI gaming builds by featuring three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, which sport reinforced steel plating for two of these slots. The Z270 SLI comes with an Intel Z270 chipset and LGA1151 socket to support Intel's 6th- and 7th-generation processors. It can hold up to 64GB of DDR4 memory modules as well as six SATA-based storage drives. Moreover, two M.2 slots are on board, letting you instal two PCIe-based SSDs and enhance them with RAID capabilities.
For gaming builds, you can instal up to three graphics cards and link them utilising AMD Crossfire or NVIDIA SLI technologies. Having the graphics cards linked allows the system to deliver a stutter-free gaming experience with ultra details enabled. There are also three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for installing Wi-Fi, USB expansion, and other types of PCI cards.
On the rear panel, the motherboard is outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet, PS/2, HDMI, and DVI-D connections. For connecting USB devices, it comes equipped with two USB 2.0, four USB 3.0, and two USB 3.1 ports. In addition, each of the USB 3.1 ports transmits data at up to 10 Gb/s speeds, and one of them features a USB Type-C interface so you can connect a USB-C cable on the first try. Other notable connections include six audio jacks that output 7.1-channel sounds via a Realtek ALC1220 processor.
