Quality motherboard for Kaby Lake processors

The board features high-quality Military Class 5 components. These include new titanium coils and dark capacitors, characteristic for their superior overload and overheat resistance. The board is designed for Intel's latest Kaby Lake 7th gen processors, which are fitted into a new LGA 1151 socket. Furthermore there DDR4 memory slots, compatible with 2400 MHz memory modules, and DDR4 Boost feature, which can raise the base clock speed to a whopping 3800 MHz. This allows you to squeeze extra performance from your system, regardless of whether you’re playing a game or processing large video files.

Made for gamers

With this motherboard, creating a powerful graphics system is as easy as 1-2-3. It has three PCIe 16x slots that support not only 3-Way CrossFire, but also 2-Way SLI. Everything is backed by a powerful Killer E2500 network card, optimised for tournament-class online and LAN gaming. Advanced Stream Detect 2.0 technology automatically prioritises network traffic of gaming applications, resulting in reduced response time and eliminating the ever-present lag. But that’s not all. Gaining control over the battlefield requires that you hear every single detail, so a good sound card is a must. The integrated Realtek ALC1220 7.1ch sound card provides crystal-clear, studio-quality sound, and with Audio Boost technology, you can be sure you will hear every whisper.

Connect everything quickly and easily

Connectivity options don’t get much better than this. USB 3.1 Gen1 connectors allow you to copy your favourite games, movies, or other content in record time and there is also USB Boost feature that can raise USB data transfer speeds by up to 20%. The board is equipped with a reversible USB USB Type-C connector, which is becoming increasingly common in devices ranging from smartphones and tablets to cameras to external drives. You'll also appreciate the unbelievably high speeds of SATA Express, not to mention the Turbo M.2 and U.2 interfaces with 2× higher bandwidth (up to 32 Gb/s).
