MSI Z270M Mortar

LGA 1151, Intel Z270, mATX

Product details

The MSI Z270M Mortar is an ATX mainboard with Intel's Z270 chipset for the Intel processors of the 6th ("Skylake") and 7th ("Kaby Lake") generation for the LGA1151 socket. The 200 series "Union Point"
chipsets have a maximum of 24 PCIe Express 3.0 lanes and generally have more HSIO lanes (High Speed I/O), which allows more internal connections (such as SATA or PCIe slots) to be used simultaneously. As a Z270 mainboard, the MSI Z270M Mortar enables overclocking of K-series CPUs, which have a freely selectable multiplier.
