G1 Gaming Z170 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z170 chipset for LGA 1151 processors. It supports Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs with four DDR4 DIMM slots running in dual-channel mode up to 64 GB. The board includes onboard Intel HD Graphics via D-Sub and DVI-D outputs at 1920x1200@60 Hz.

Suited for Multi-GPU and High-Speed Storage Builds

This motherboard fits builders who want multi-graphics support with one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, a second running at x8 and a third at x4 plus three-way CrossFire and two-way SLI capability. Storage options include six SATA 6Gb/s ports, three SATA Express connectors and two M.2 Socket 3 slots. Users needing integrated Wi-Fi or a smaller form factor should look at other models.

Z170 Chipset Decides CPU and Overclocking Scope

The Intel Z170 chipset determines which LGA 1151 processors are compatible and enables CPU overclocking with K-series parts. It also sets the native PCI Express 3.0 lane allocation and the maximum supported memory speed of DDR4 3466 (O.C.). Verify your processor and cooling plans match this chipset before purchase.

Highlights

  • Supports up to 64 GB DDR4 memory
  • Dual-channel DDR4 up to 3466 MHz overclocked
  • Realtek ALC1150 delivers 7.1-channel high-definition audio

Questions about this item

Do I need an LGA 1151 processor and DDR4 memory to use this board?

Yes, the GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 requires an LGA 1151 CPU such as Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron and takes four 288-pin DDR4 DIMMs in dual-channel mode up to 64 GB.

Will my PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics card run at full speed if I also use the M.2 slots?

The primary PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot runs at x16; the second x16 slot runs at x8 and the x4 slot at x4, so a single GPU in the top slot keeps full bandwidth while both M.2 Socket 3 connectors remain usable.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC1150 audio is active after building the system?

In Windows Device Manager check for Realtek High Definition Audio under Sound, video and game controllers, then open the Realtek Audio Console to verify 7.1-channel output and test each speaker.
