Well-Equipped Z270 Motherboard (ATX), with 3× PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16/x4), 2× USB 3.1 Type A &1x USB 3.0 Type C, 2× M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) & 6x SATA 6G, 6× USB 3.0 & 6× USB 2.0The ASUS PRIME Z270-K is an ATX motherboard utilising Intel's Z270 chipset for Intelprocessors from the 6th("Skylake") and 7th("Kaby Lake") generations on socket LGA 1151. The chipsetsfrom the 200 series, known as "Union Point", come with up to 24 PCIe Express 3.0 lanes and bring moreoverall HSIO lanes (High Speed I/O) as well, thereby enabling more internal connections (such as SATAor PCIe slots) to be used simultaneously. As a Z270 motherboard, the ASUS PRIME Z270-K enablesoverclocking of K-series CPUs, which offer completely unlocked multipliers.

The Features of the ASUS PRIME Z270-K - An Overview:

  • 3× PCIe (3.0) x16 (16/4) & 2× PCIe (3.0) x1
  • 2× USB 3.1 Type A / 1× USB 3.0 Type C
  • 2× PCI / 6× USB 3.0 / 6× USB 2.0
  • 2× M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) / 6× SATA 6G
  • Supports up to 64 GB DDR4-RAM at 3.866 MHz
  • CPU Overclocking via multiplier & baseclock

The ASUS PRIME Z270-K in Detail

The ASUS PRIME Z270-K is a well-featured ATX motherboard with Intel's Z270 chipset offeringcompatibility with Intel's processors from the 6000 and 7000 series. This black-themed board comes withtwo PCIe x16 Slots, of which one is connected to the chipset via 16 full lanes, while the other isconnected electrically via four data links. For I/O and expansion card support, the board provides twoPCIe x1 slots and furthermore comes with support for NVIDIA's SLI and AMD's CrossFireX technology.

The motherboard provides DDR4 RAM compatibility over 4 DIMM slots in ultra-fast dual-channel mode.The memory banks take up to 64 GB RAM and, depending on the processor installed, supports memoryclocks of either 2.133 MHz (with Skylake CPUs) or 2.400 MHz (with Kaby Lake CPUs), andoverclocking also allows memory modules rated at speeds of up to 4.000 MHz.

In order to connect the very fastest data storage devices, the board comes with two M.2 slots for extremeNVMe M.2 SSDs, as well as six SATA 6G ports for 3,5" or 2,5" hard drives and SSDs (including RAIDsupport). The M.2 ports are connected via four PCIe lanes on the 3.0 standard to the chipset and, incombination with the NVMe protocol, enable a data transfer rate of almost 4 GB/s. This allows M.2 PCIeSSDs to function up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs!

The I/O panel of this motherboard offers connectivity to the new USB specification, USB Type C, a portwith a new slim profile and the ability to be plugged in either way. Apart from the Type C port themotherboard also offers backwards compatibility with USB 3.1 Type A. USB 3.1 ports are rated for amaximum achievable throughput of 10 Gbit/s, twice as fast as traditional USB 3.0 ports! As far as inputdevices and other gaming peripherals are concerned, the I/O panel also offers two USB 3.0- and two USB2.0 ports.

If no graphics card is available, the integrated GPU on the Skylake or Kaby Lake CPU allows formonitors to be connected directly to the rear of the motherboard - and both HDMI and DisplayPortconnectors are available for improved connectivity. Internally the motherboard offers - among otherfunctions - buttons to clear CMOS, a COM port header, four 4-pin headers for PWM fans, a 4-pin pumpconnector, as well as XMP support and an array of overclocking features.
