Sound Core 3D |
Gigabyte is offering a seriously beefed-up audio implementation for this motherboard. The center of it is a Creative Sound Core 3D Audiochip, which is being supported by an armada of additional chips. There is for example a Burr-Brown DAC and Gigabyte is using fine gold Nichicon caps as well as WIMA film cap. Furthermore there are swappable OP-AMPs for the front audio as well as for the left and the right channel. |

SATA Express
|
Le SATA Express est un nouveau port pour les périphériques de stockages qui combine basiquement deux ports SATA. Chaque SATA Express est connecté via deux lignes PCI Express Gen 3 pour offrir une bande passante de 16Gbps. Une évolution donc, par rapport au SATA III à 6Gbps. |

M.2 / NVMe support
|
The new Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard features two M.2 slot and included in the delivery there is also an NVMe adapter card. This motherboard can be equipped with two SSDs in M.2 format and they are wired to a PLX PEX8747 lan multiplexer using four PCI Express Gen 3 lanes each. Therefore each slot offers up to 4 Gigabyte per second bandwidth. |

PLX Chip
|
So far this is the only Z170-based motherboard, that comes with a PLX chip. To be a bit more precise there is 48-lane, 5 port PCIe Gen 3 switch from Avago, called PEX 8747. Thanks to this chip the G1 Gaming motherboard supports 4-way SLI with x16/x8/x16/x8 configuration. Apart from that there are enough PCI Express Gen 3 lanes, that all components can be used simultaneously and no ports have to share lanes. |
