EVGA displays its upcoming Z170 lineup at Computex

Z170 Stinger, Z170 FTW and Z170 Classified

EVGA brought three Intel Z170 Express based motherboards to Computex 2015 show in Taipei, including the flagship Z170 Classified, mITX Z170 Stinger and the Z170 FTW.

Pictured by EVGA's Jacob Freeman, all three motherboards are based on Intel's Z170 Express chipset with support for Intel's upcoming 6th generation Core Skylake CPUs and will feature EVGA's recognizable black/silver color scheme. The flagship Z170 Classified, aimed at overclockers, draws power for its 10-phase VRM from two 8-pin power connectors, has four DDR4 DIMM slots with support for up to 64GB of DDR4-3400 memory, five PCI-Express 3.0 x16 and single PCI-Express 3.0 x4 slot, single M.2 slot as well as eight SATA 6Gbps and two SATA Express ports.

The EVGA Z170 Stinger will be quite an interesting choice for those looking to make a compact gaming rig and despite its size, it packs plenty of features, including a 6-phase VRM powered by a single 8-pin EPS connector, has two memory slots with support for up to 32GB of DDR4 memory, four SATA 6Gbps ports and a single PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot to pair it up with a high-end graphics card, or the most powerful graphics card that you would be able to squeeze in a small form-factor PC case.

The last, but definitely not the least, is the EVGA Z170 FTW, which will be the motherboard aimed at those that prefer EVGA motherboard and demand best components but do not need high-end overclocking features. It has a single 8-pin EPS power connector, most likely powering a bit less powerful 8-phase VRM. The rest of the specifications includes same four DDR4 memory slots, four PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots, single PCI-Express 3.0 x4 and single M.2 slot. It also comes with six SATA 6Gbps ports, on board buttons, and the plenty of other features.

We will hear more about EVGA's Z170 lineup as we draw closer to Intel's official launch of Skylake CPUs.
