Product type	Motherboards i Motherboards In personal computers, a motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, providing connectors for other peripherals. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic board. It is also sometimes casually shortened to mobo. More information...

Motherboard properties
Form factor i Form factor In computer technology, the form factor is an indication of the size and fastening possibilities of a component used in a computer. This standardization makes it easy to assemble and replace various components. More information...	ATX i ATX ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor specification developed by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT form factor. More information...
CPU socket i CPU socket A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering. Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place. This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket. More information...	LGA 1151
Chipset i Chipset The chipset supports the processor in its task. More information...	Intel Z270
UEFI BIOS i UEFI BIOS The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. UEFI is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface, present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers. In practice, most UEFI images have legacy support for BIOS services. UEFI can be used to allow remote diagnostics and repair of computers, even without another operating system. More information...

Number of memory modules i Number of memory modules A memory module or memory latch is a small circuit board on which several memory components (dynamic RAM in the form of integrated circuits) are soldered. Memory modules form or expand the main memory of electronic devices such as computers or printers and are plugged into specially designed slots. More information...	4 x

Memory chip i Memory chip Random-access memory is a form of computer data storage. A random-access device allows stored data to be accessed directly in any random order. In contrast, other data storage media such as hard disks, CDs, DVDs and magnetic tape, as well as early primary memory types such as drum memory, read and write data only in a predetermined order, consecutively, because of mechanical design limitations. Therefore the time to access a given data location varies significantly depending on its physical location. More information...	DDR4-2400 , DDR4-2133
Max. RAM OC i Max. RAM OC Describes how much memory can be overclocked (maxium RAM overclocking).	3800 MHz
Memory type i Memory type DDR-SDRAM ("Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory") is a type of random access memory (RAM) currently available in three categories. DDR-SDRAM with 184 contacts, DDR2-SDRAM with 240 contacts and DDR3-SDRAM also with 240 contacts. They are mainly used for memory modules of the DIMM or SO-DIMM standard as main memory in PCs and laptops. More information...	DDR4-RAM
Channel Architecture	2 i 2 More information...
RAM buffer i RAM buffer In addition to bandwidth and capacity variants, modules can 1. Optionally implement ECC, which is an extra data byte lane used for correcting minor errors and detecting major errors for better reliability. Modules with ECC are identified by an additional ECC in their designation. 2. Be "registered", which improves signal integrity (and hence potentially clock speed and physical slot capacity) by electrically buffering the signals at a cost of an extra clock of increased latency. Those modules are identified by an additional R in their designation, whereas non-registered (a.k.a. "unbuffered") RAM may be identified by an additional U in the designation. 3. Be Fully buffered modules, which are designated by F or FB and do not have the same notch position as other classes. Fully buffered modules cannot be used with motherboards that are made for registered modules, and the different notch position physically prevents their insertion.	unbuffered
Memory form factor i Memory form factor A DIMM or dual in-line memory module, comprises a series of dynamic random access memory integrated circuits. These modules are mounted on a printed circuit board and designed for use in personal computers, workstations and servers. DIMMs began to replace SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) as the predominant type of memory module as Intel P5-based Pentium processors began to gain market share. The main difference between SIMMs and DIMMs is that DIMMs have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module, while the contacts on SIMMs on both sides are redundant. Another difference is that standard SIMMs have a 32-bit data path, while standard DIMMs have a 64-bit data path. More information...	DIMM 288

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe, is a computer expansion card standard designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCIe has numerous improvements over the aforementioned bus standards, including higher maximum system bus throughput, lower I/O pin count and smaller physical footprint, better performance-scaling for bus devices, a more detailed error detection and reporting mechanism, and native hot-plug functionality. More recent revisions of the PCIe standard support hardware I/O virtualization. More information...	3
PCI Express x16 i PCI Express x16 PCI Express ("Peripheral Component Interconnect Express", abbreviated: PCIe or PCI-E) is an extension standard for connecting peripheral devices to the chipset of a main processor. PCIe is the successor of PCI, PCI-X and AGP and offers a higher data transfer rate per pin compared to its predecessors. During its development the interface was called "3GIO", which stands for "3rd Generation Input/Output". More information...	3 x
PCI Express x1 i PCI Express x1 PCI Express, officially abbreviated as PCI-E or PCIe, is a computer expansion card interface format introduced by Intel in 2004. PCI Express was designed to replace the general-purpose PCI expansion bus, the high-end PCI-X bus and the AGP graphics card interface. Unlike previous PC expansion interfaces, rather than being a bus it is structured around point-to-point serial links called lanes. More information...	3 x
