ASRock Z370 Taichi LGA 1151 Intel Motherboard

SKU CH-GS9F-9P5D9

ATX board for 8th Gen Intel Core CPUs on LGA 1151 with four DDR4 slots up to 64 GB, triple PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, dual Ultra M.2, six SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports, Intel I219-V LAN.

  • Dual Ultra M.2 sockets with PCIe 3.0 x4 for fast storage
  • Intel I219-V LAN and Realtek ALC1220 7.1 audio

LGA 1151 (300 Series) platform

The board uses the Intel Z370 chipset and accepts 8th Generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1151 socket. It is not backward compatible with earlier LGA 1151 CPUs. Four DDR4 slots support up to 64GB in dual-channel mode.

Sustained memory and PCIe throughput

Memory speeds range from 2133 up to 4333+(OC) with supported modules, while 8th Gen CPUs officially run DDR4 at 2666. Three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots operate at x16, x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4 depending on population, and two Ultra M.2 sockets deliver PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth for NVMe SSDs.

SATA 6.0Gb/s and M.2 lane sharing

Six native SATA3 ports plus two ASMedia ASM1061 ports provide RAID 0/1/5/10, NCQ, AHCI and hot-plug support. M2_1 shares lanes with SATA3_0 and SATA3_1, so using that M.2 slot disables those two SATA connectors.

Questions about this item

How much power does the ASRock Z370 Taichi draw under sustained load?

The board uses an Intel Z370 chipset and supports 8th Generation Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost 2.0; actual draw depends on the specific CPU and cooler installed.

Which DDR4 memory kits are required for the four 288-pin slots?

Four DDR4 DIMMs up to 64 GB total are supported, with validated speeds from 2133 to 4333+(OC); consult the ASRock memory support list for exact part numbers.

Will my existing LGA 1151 6th or 7th Generation Intel CPU work in this motherboard?

No — the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket is not backward compatible with older generation LGA 1151 CPUs; only 8th Generation Core, Pentium and Celeron processors are supported.
