Finally putting the lid on all of ASUS’ leaked and detailed motherboards, comes, the PRIME Z270-A, which doesn’t belong to a special, bang-and-whistley product line, and is just concerned with getting the job done. It clads itself in a simple and appealing white and gray color-scheme, and is expected to keep most of the important features in ASUS’ more expensive product lines.
The PRIME Z270-A comes with ASUS’ 8+2+2 Phase Digital power design, fed by an 8-pin connector, that features 10K black metallic capacitors, MicroFine Alloy Chokes, NexFET PW (Power) block MOSFET and DIGI+ Power Control Utility for real-time adjustment, courtesy of the new ASUS Extreme Engine Digi+ technology that improves CPU stability and overclocking. It features four DDR4 DIMM slots that can support up to 64 GB of memory with speeds of up to 3866 MHZ (O.C+), and expansion slots on the motherboard include three PCI-e 3.0 x16 (x16/x8/x4 electrical), four PCI-e 3.0 x1 and dual M.2 slots that deliver up to 32 GB/s transfer speeds, with the PCI-e slots being armored for higher resistance.
As for storage options, count on six SATA III 6 GB/s ports, as well as USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 front headers. The PRIME Z270-A also comes with the latest SupremeFX S1220A CODEC, De-pop Circuit, Premium Nichicon audiophile grade capacitors and a stainless steel cover. On the I/O front, we are looking at 2 USB 3.1 (Type-A, Type-C) ports, 4 USB 3.0, 1 x Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN, HDMI 1.4, DP 1.2, DVI, PS/2 port and a 7.1 Channel Audio Jack.Source: WCCFTech
