It is also important to know that two M.2 slots are integrated and thus be able to install any disk of this format (2242/2260/2280/22110). This motherboard looks good!

In the storage section, a total of 6 SATA III 6 Gb / s connections complement it, so we will not lack storage capacity. We will also be able to perfectly combine all the advantages of the high speed of SSDs and the large capacity of HDDs in this format as with the M.2.

The time has come to tell you about the sound! It integrates a signature card with the Realtek ALC1220 chip that combined with excellent capacitors and components provides us with a much clearer and higher quality sound. AMP-UP technologies, high impedance helmet compatibility and optimized software.

We detail the rear connections. Point out that we have a great connection Killer E2500 Gaming Network They provide great performance and prioritize video game related packages to reduce latency and improve data transfer speed.

To check the stability of the i7-8700k processor at 4500 MHZ (stock values) and the motherboard we have stressed with Prime 95 Custom and air cooling. The graphics that we have used is an Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti, without further delay, let's see the results obtained in our tests with a 1920 x 1080 monitor.

BIOS

Gigabyte continues with its super stable BIOS trend on its Intel platform.
