    Motherboards Socket 1151

    ASRock Unveils First LGA 1151 Socketed Motherboard Featuring Support For 6th Generation Skylake Processors

    The first LGA 1151 socketed motherboard, featuring support for Intel’s next generation Skylake processors has been spotted by Computerbase at the Embedded World 2015 exhibition in Nuremberg. Slated for launch in Q3 2015, Skylake processors will be compatible with the latest iteration of LGA 1151 socketed motherboards that will be fused with the 100-series chipsets.

    ASRock First To Show LGA 1151 Socketed Motherboards Supporting Skylake

    The motherboard revealed by ASRock is their IMB-190 that features the Mini-ITX form factor design. This board comes with a range of features such as the LGA 1151 socket which is listed to support Intel’s next generation of Skylake processors (Core i7/i5/i3/Celeron). The board also comes with a next generation PCH, the current SKU for the PCH is not mentioned but we suspect it to be the Q170 series chipset on-board this little board. It’s seen from the specification sheet that the motherboard has support for DDR3L 1600 MHz memory (SO-DIMM) for up to 16 GB capacities. Display options include 3 x HDMI, 1 x 24-bit Dual Channel LVDS or eDP (Display Port) technology. I/O on the board consists of 4 USB 3.0, 4 USB 2.0, 2 SATA 3 and 1 mSATA connectors. Expansion slots include 1 mini PCIe, 1 mSATA and a single PCI-e x4 interface. There’s a Gigabit LAN at the rear I/O panel and power is supplied through 12-24 V DC-in power source.
    From a closer look, things get more interesting. At first sight, the LGA 1151 socket may not look much different then its predecessor (LGA 1150) but as the name suggests, there’s one extra pin on the socket. There’s a reason behind shifting from LGA 1150 to LGA 1151 with Skylake since its a completely new architecture that makes use of some physical changes beneath the pin connections. Another reason is that the pin connections had to be adjusted since Skylake removes the FIVR (Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator) from the CPU die and shifts that design back to the motherboard.
    The other interesting bit about the LGA 1151 socketed board from ASRock is that it is designed to support DDR3L memory, not DDR4. Intel has advertised Skylake as the first mainstream platform to feature native DDR4 support which is true, however it is also known since past year that Skylake will feature DDR4 memory support while retaining support for the current DDR3 memory. The motherboard in specific features support for DDR3L memory available in SO-DIMM form factors. It’s upto the motherboard vendors to offer either DDR3 or DDR4 boards and the choice will be attractive to the business platforms who can make use of the inexpensive DDR3 memory on the new platforms such as H110, Q170 and B170.


    These three SKUs seem to be hitting mass production in Q1 2016. The fourth major platform to have support for DDR3L memory would be the C236 Workstation which also hits mass production in Q1 2016. Mass production of the Z170 and H170 series chipsets would commence in 1H of 2015 and hitting retail in August 2015 timeframe.

    The roadmap does confirm something we have shown a few days ago, listing down the 95W, 65W and 35W TDPs for the upcoming Skylake processors. The workstation side Xeon E3-1200 V5 chips and Skylake-K chips will feature a 95W design while the mainstream and entry level chips will have a 65-35W TDP.
    The Z170 would be the flagship performance chipset which will support the unlocked K-Series Skylake processors. The chipset will feature up to 20 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, 6 SATA Gen 3 ports, 10 USB 3.0 ports and a total of 14 total USB ports (USB 3.0 / USB 2.0), up to 3 SATA Express capable ports, up to 3 Intel RST capable PCI-e storage ports which may include x2 SATA Express or M.2 SSD port with Enhanced SPI and x4/x8/x16 capable Gen 3 PCI-Express support from the processor. Intel Skylake processors are expected to launch in August at IDF 2015, more information is expected to be revealed prior to that.

    ASRock Unveils Z170 Motherboards – Shows off Z170 Extreme 7 and Z170 FATAL1TY Gaming K6

    ASRock has shown off their latest Z170 motherboards at a pre-computex show which include their top-tier Z170 Extreme 7 and Z170 FATAL1TY Gaming K6. The new Z170 chipset based motherboards were shown off with finalized details which goes off to show that motherboard manufacturers are ready for the launch of Intel’s next generation Skylake processors which launch in Q3 2015.





    ASRock’s Top Z170 Motherboards Include Z170 Extreme 7 and Z170 Gaming K6

    The two Z170 motherboards revealed by ASRock are part of the complete 100-series lineup which will be detailed at Computex 2015. ASRock has made some decent updates to their design scheme which adds a lot to the aesthetics department while pushing for designs that deliver better overclocking, performance and stability. The end result are motherboards that are in all ways better designed compared to the Z97 series which will span two generations, Broadwell and Haswell. The Skylake processors which will launch for these motherboards will be unveiled at IDF ’15 in August and hit retail market in under a month which will allow users from older platforms to update to Intel’s latest desktop platform. The details of the Z170 motherboards can be found below:
    ASRock Z170 Extreme 7 Motherboard



    First of the Z170 lineup from ASRock is the high-end Z170 Extreme 7 that comes with a fully loaded super alloy design.The motherboard adopts a black and gold color scheme like the previous Extreme boards and offers a lot in the overclocking department. Fitted with high-quality capacitors, VRMs and MOSFETs, this motherboard is meant to push the overclocking limits. The LGA 1151 socket that allows support of Intel’s Skylake processors is powered by a 8-Pin connector while the board draws power from an ATX connector. The motherboard has its VRMs and power area kept cool by a large aluminum heatpipe based heatsink that has a Z170 label etched to it.
    Being the first mainstream consumer platform to support DDR4 memory, we found four DDR4 DIMM slots on the left side to the socket. There are separate power phases for the DIMMs to enhance overclocking on the modules. Two switches (On/Off and Reset) can be found along with a CMOS reset switch. Storage will include 10 SATA 6 GB/s and 3 SATA Express ports while there are two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 internal headers on the motherboard. The Z170 chipset is kept hidden inside a cool aluminum based heatsink with a nice design. The motherboard includes a Dual BIOS that can be changed from a switch and a Diagnostic LED can also be spotted. When it comes to expansion, ASRock is offering four PCI-e 3.0 x16, two PCI-e 3.0 x1 slots and three Ultra M.2 slots that operate at speeds of PCI-e 3.0 x4. A Mini PCIe slot can also be seen that can support SSDs or WiFi cards and can easily be used since the M.2 slot above it is risen.





    On I/O front, we can see 6 USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, dual Gigabit LAN ports, a 7.1 Channel audio jack, PS/2 port, HDMI and DVI display outputs. Sound is provided through the Purity Sound 3 design that has the technology implemented on an isolated PCB. ASRock is using a thermal armor across the I/O and sound PCB to enhance thermal loads and looks of the board.
    ASRock Z170 FATAL1TY Gaming K6 Motherboard



    The second motherboard shown off by ASRock, the Z170 Gaming K6 is part of the FATAL1TY brand or ASRock’s own gaming series products. This motherboard is designed to look similar to the Extreme 7 but comes with a red and black color scheme. The LGA 1151 socket that allows support of Intel’s Skylake processors is powered by a 8-Pin connector while the board draws power from an ATX connector. The motherboard has its VRMs and power area kept cool by a large aluminum heatpipe based heatsink that has a Z170 label etched to it.

    Para mim o grande atrativo do socket 1151 face ao 1150 é o facto de trazer nativamente o novo USB 3.1. Com toda a certeza será por causa deste novo USB que mudarei de socket mais cedo ou mais tarde e qualquer dia de caixa (visto que a minha Corsair 750D apenas tem entradas USB 2.0 e 3.0).

    Agora com o USB 3.1 o 2.0 morre de vez e as poucas portas 2.0 que ainda vinham na board desaparecem de vez nas novas motherboards para dar lugar a mais entradas 3.0 e passamos a ter umas duas entradas 3.1 também.

    Boas!
    Bem que boards lindas!

    Adorei o look...

    3 ultra m.2 para meter até 3 discos mais mini_pci-e para Wifi...
    Que luxo essa board!

    USB 3.1 Tipo C que que ser o futuro e lentamente substituir tudo o resto...
    Só o facto de ser reversível já é uma aposta ganha.... eu e toda a gente engana-se a por as fichas USB 50% das vezes!

    Só espero que a plataforma ZEN tenha tão bom suporte como esta nova plataforma da Intel...

    Lentamente o USB 3.1 vai matar tudo o que é entradas. Mesmo o Thunderbolt. Diz-se aliás que a Apple, que fez o Thunderbolt em conjunto com a Intel, ajudou a desenvolver o USB 3.1 também e foi mesmo buscar coisas ao Thunderbolt. A Intel não quer que o Thunderbolt morra pois vai buscar dinheiro a cada fabricante que o coloca nas suas motherboards mas penso que é isso que vai acontecer. Para quê pagarem uma entrada que faz o mesmo que uma gratuita (usb 3.1) e apenas tem a vantagem da velocidade (atualmente o Thunderbolt 2 tem o dobro da velocidade do USB 3.1) mas velocidade essa que as pessoas não utilizam nem metade dela?

    Até a Apple já removeu o Thunderbolt do ultimo macbook que saiu e meteu o USB 3.1. Começa-se a ver também tablets e smartphones a serem projetados para vir com USB 3.1 e desse modo acabar também com a presença do 2.0 nesses aparelhos.

    Como o USB 3.1 permite passar até 100W de energia, penso que vai passar a integrar praticamente tudo o que seja aparelhos. Mesmo monitores. Que em vez de os ligar-mos a uma ficha, liga-se por USB 3.1 diretamente na fonte e está abastecido de enegia. Mais, o USB 3.1 tem outra coisa que o Thunderbolt já tinha (que penso que foi isto que a Apple ajudou a transportar para o USB 3.1 vindo do Thunderbolt) que é o DisplayPort já estar integrado nas entradas e nos cabos. Ou seja, além de conseguir passar 100W de energia e poder abastecer por exemplo monitores, também passará som e imagem em alta definição, ou seja, se calhar adeus HDMI também.

    Qualquer dia é só ligar o monitor na torre com um cabo USB e fica logo ali tratado o abastecimento de energia, som e imagem. Tudo só num cabo! Além de ainda ser uma entrada reversível (outra coisa que o Thunderbolt já era, não sei se também não foi copiado daí) e ser livre de custos para os fabricantes por não ser uma entrada proprietária! Viva o USB 3.1!

    Concordo...

    O USB 3.1 tem tudo para ser a plataforma mais usada em breve...
    Agora só falta a massificação... o que será apenas uma questão de tempo...

    Muito sinceramente espero que o HDMI desapareça. O USB 3.1 tem capacidade para o vir a fazer desaparecer. É que o HDMI é proprietário e andamos a pagar mais nos dispositivos por estar lá o HDMI. E se for preciso teremos a mesma capacidade e performance em cabos USB 3.1 e entradas USB 3.1 de graça, visto que vão ter o DisplayPort integrado.

    Gigabyte, MSI and Biostar Z170 Motherboards Shown Off – Pre-Production Samples Featuring DDR4/DDR3L Combo Support

    Gigabyte, MSI and Biostar have shown off their latest Z170 motherboards which include several Z170, H170 and B150 chipset based products. While both manufacturers have diverse lineups, they look quite the same at the moment since they are pre-production samples and design schemes are yet to be finalized. Biostar did show off some new concepts and they might just offer DDR4/DDR3L memory combo support on their motherboards due to the budget focused designs.

    Image Credits: Techpowerup
    Gigabyte, MSI and Biostar Unveil Z170 Motherboards For Skylake Processors

    First up, we will detail the Gigabyte motherboards which include two basic tier products. The Z170-HD3 is a LGA 1151 motherboard that offers a 7 phase power design that is powered by a 8-Pin power connector. The socket is surrounded by several capacitors which add stability to the board. The Skylake platform will be the first mainstream platform to get DDR4 memory support and we see four DDR4 memory banks on the motherboard which can be filled with capacities up to 64 GB. The expansion slots include two PCI-e 3.0 x16, two PCI-e 3.0 x1, two PCI legacy slots and a single M.2 slot operating at 32 GB/s speed. The board has a decent layout, storage options include six SATA III ports and two SATA Express ports.
    I/O options include two internal USB 3.0 headers, two internal USB 2.0 headers, two rear pane USB 2.0 and six USB 3.0 ports. There’s also HD Audio that is offered by an 8.1 channel audio jack and a Gigabit powered LAN port. The second board is the H170M-D3H which has a 6 phase power delivery and power is provided through an 8-Pin connector. Most of the design scheme remains similar except the board doesn’t feature any PCI-e 3.0 x1 slot. This is due to the low cost nature of this motherboard and it won’t support any K-Series unlocked CPU.
    MSI Z170A-G45 Gaming and X99A God Like Gaming Motherboards

    MSI showed off their Z170A-G45 Gaming motherboard which is a neat motherboard with the red and black color scheme we expect nowadays from gaming motherboards. The board is powered by a 11 phase power delivery that is powered by a 8-Pin power connector. Large sets of heatsinks surround the VRM area and the Z170 PCH. The PCH heatsink comes with the red dragoon logo that is a renowned icon of the MSI Gaming line up. Four DDR4 DIMM slots offer support for Dual channel memory with capacities of up to 64 GB. The board has voltage check-points for those into overclocking. Expansion slots include four PCI-e 3.0 x1 and three PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots. There are also two M.2 slots (x4 speed). Storage includes 6 SATA III and two SATA Express ports. Right angled USB 3.0 port can also be found on the motherboard. Killer E2200 LAN and a high-end audio chip are part of the gaming design featured on the motherboard.

    Advertisements


    Along with the Z170 motherboards, MSI is also announcing their high-end X99A Godlike motherboard which takes overclocking to the next level. Featuring the OC socket, X99A Godlike gaming comes with a 12 Phase lay out (PWM) that is powered through a 8+6 Pin connector configuration. Eight DDR4 DIMM slots offer support for up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory while voltage check points and overclocking switches are featured on the motherboard for enthusiasts to take the board for a overclocking round. The whole motherboard is absorbed in red and black color with a large protective armor scheme that runs across the motherboard and has dense heatpipe layout for heat dissipation. Expansion slots include five ideally placed PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots and a ultra M.2 slot can also be found.. The motherboard has 10 SATA III ports and two SATA Express ports as a part of the storage scheme. Other features include Audio Boost 3 PRO, USB 3.1 (Type-C), Killer Doubleshot-X3 Pro and Mystic Light which is a technology designed to lit up the motherboard in the color of user’s preference.
    BIOSTAR Readies First and only DDR4/DDR3L Combo Skylake Motherboards

    Biostar is also preparing new products for launch that include the Hi-Fi B150Z5, Hi-Fi B150S1 and Hi-Fi H170 Z3. All of these motherboards have similar specs with purity Hi-Fi audio, support for 6th generation Intel Skylake processors and neat power layout designs that offer stable performance. But the main thing that these boards have in common is that BIOSTAR is the only manufacturer that is offering support for both DDR4 and DDR3L memory on their boards. It was expected that DDR3L would be featured with Skylake CPUs on AIO and NUC devices but we didn’t expected such designs on consumer motherboards. After judging the boards by their design, we can say that this is a good move since the boards that do offer combo memory support are budget and entry tier products hence it makes sense to allow DDR3L support which can be bought at low prices compared to DDR4 which is slight bit more expensive. The full Biostar lineup can be found at Computerbase in their exclusive article.

    We start off this article with the ASUS Z170-Pro motherboard which has a similar design scheme as their X99 motherboards. The ASUS Z170-Pro is a high-end product and comes just below the ASUS Z170 Deluxe that will launch along with Skylake processors. We can see that the CPU socket is powered by a 8-Pin power connector and the board adopts a 15 Phase DIGI+ VRM design. The entire PWM section is covered by large heatsinks that are interconnected through a single heatpipe to dissipate heat effectively. Next to the CPU socket are four DDR4 DIMM slots which can support 64 GB capacity of DRAM with frequencies up to 3400 MHz (O.C+).
    Expansion slots include three PCI-e 3.0 x16, four PCI-e 3.0 x1 and a single M.2 slot. Storage includes 10 SATA III and two SATA Express ports. There are a variety of switches for overclocking management on the board along with a debug LED. The Crystal Sound 2 audio chip offers high quality audio through the rear panel audio jack. Two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 internal headers provide front panel I/O support. The rear panel I/O includes dual Gigabit LAN ports, a 7.1 channel audio jack, 4 USB 3.0, 2 USB 3.1, 4 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, Display port, Mini-Display port connectors, SPDIF and a WiFi-Go module that allows wireless Wi-Fi 802.11 B/G/N connectivity.

    EVGA has three new motherboards ready for Skylake which include the Z170 Classified, Z170 FTW and the Z170 Stinger. The flagship Z170 Classified features the LGA 1151 socket that is powered by dual Power 8-Pin connectors. The board features a 10 Phase PWM design featuring EVGA’s high-quality components that allow better overclocking. The board has four DDR4 DIMM slots which support can support up to 64 GB of DRAM with speeds of 3400 MHz (O.C+). The expansion slots include five PCI-e 3.0 x16 and a single PCI-e 3.0 x4 slot. There’s a single M.2 slot on the board while storage includes 8 SATA III ports and two SATA Express ports.




    The EVGA Z170 FTW is the more cost optimized offering that features a single 8-Pin power connector to power the socket and has a 8-10 Phase PWM design. All EVGA boards feature the black and silver color scheme which we can clearly see in the picture posted by EVGA’s Jacob Freeman. The expansion slots for FTW include four PCI-e 3.0 x16, PCI-e 3.0 x4 and a single M.2 slot. Storage includes 6 SATA III ports while there are a bunch of I/O options available on the rear panel. The last board is the mITX Z170 Stinger that has seen several chipset variations. The latest Z170 Stinger features full support for Skylake and has a 6 Phase PWM design while the two DDR4 DIMM slots offer support for 32 GB of DRAM. Storage options include four SATA III ports and expansion includes a single PCI-e 3.0 x16 slot.
    ASRock FATAL1TY Z170 and Extreme Z170 Motherboards

    While ASRock already teased their boards prior to computex, we get a more better look at them during Computex. First of the Z170 lineup from ASRock is the high-end Z170 Extreme 7 that comes with a fully loaded super alloy design.The motherboard adopts a black and gold color scheme like the previous Extreme boards and offers a lot in the overclocking department. Fitted with high-quality capacitors, VRMs and MOSFETs, this motherboard is meant to push the overclocking limits with a 13 Phase PWM. The LGA 1151 socket that allows support of Intel’s Skylake processors is powered by a 8-Pin connector while the board draws power from an ATX connector. The motherboard has its VRMs and power area kept cool by a large aluminum heatpipe based heatsink that has a Z170 label etched to it.

    Being the first mainstream consumer platform to support DDR4 memory, we found four DDR4 DIMM slots on the left side to the socket. There are separate power phases for the DIMMs to enhance overclocking on the modules. Two switches (On/Off and Reset) can be found along with a CMOS reset switch. Storage will include 10 SATA 6 GB/s and 3 SATA Express ports while there are two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 internal headers on the motherboard. The Z170 chipset is kept hidden inside a cool aluminum based heatsink with a nice design. The motherboard includes a Dual BIOS that can be changed from a switch and a Diagnostic LED can also be spotted. When it comes to expansion, ASRock is offering four PCI-e 3.0 x16, two PCI-e 3.0 x1 slots and three Ultra M.2 slots that operate at speeds of PCI-e 3.0 x4. A Mini PCIe slot can also be seen that can support SSDs or WiFi cards and can easily be used since the M.2 slot above it is risen.
    On I/O front, we can see 6 USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, dual Gigabit LAN ports, a 7.1 Channel audio jack, PS/2 port, HDMI and DVI display outputs. Sound is provided through the Purity Sound 3 design that has the technology implemented on an isolated PCB. ASRock is using a thermal armor across the I/O and sound PCB to enhance thermal loads and looks of the board.
    ASRock Z170 FATAL1TY Gaming K6 Motherboard



    The second motherboard shown off by ASRock, the Z170 Gaming K6 is part of the FATAL1TY brand or ASRock’s own gaming series products. This motherboard is designed to look similar to the Extreme 7 but comes with a red and black color scheme. The LGA 1151 socket that allows support of Intel’s Skylake processors is powered by a 8-Pin connector while the board draws power from an ATX connector. The motherboard has its VRMs and power area kept cool by a large aluminum heatpipe based heatsink that has a Z170 label etched to it.

    Gigabyte Unveils Impressive Z170 Gaming G1 Motherboard Lineup – GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 Flagship With Hybrid Cooling


    Gigabyte has unveiled their impressive Z170 Gaming G1 motherboard lineup at Computex 2015. The boards which were pictured by itfree4u have an updated design scheme and tone down the red color scheme which has long been adopted by motherboard makers for their gaming branded products. The three Z170 G1 Gaming motherboards revealed by Gigabyte are based on the LGA 1151 socket which allows support for Intel’s 6th generation Skylake processors.

    Gigabyte Z170 Gaming G1 Motherboards Unveiled – Gaming G1, Gaming GT and Gaming 7 Detailed

    The three Gaming G1 motherboards shown off by Gigabyte include the top-tier GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 followed by the GA-Z170X-Gaming GT and GA-Z170X-Gaming 7. The flagship GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 is a beauty to look at. The motherboard comes in a red, white and black color scheme. It has either a 21 or 22 phase PWM design to keep overclockers engaged in breaking new world records with Skylake chips. The LGA 1151 socket is powered by a 8-Pin power connector and has a large heatsink layout with heatpipe dissipation system and water channel technology to incorporate hybrid cooling through air and liquid supply (G1/4 threaded Fitings). This allows the VRMs and MOSFETs to stay cool under load when voltages are pushed high. Near the socket are four DDR4 DIMMs which can support capacities of up to 64 GB and speeds of 3300 MHz (O.C+). A few buttons for On/Off, Reset and OC switches can be found next to the 24-Pin ATX connector.





    The expansion options include four PCI-e 3.0 x16 which are ideally spaced to support 4-Way SLI and Crossfire configurations. There are also three PCI-e 3.0 x1 and two M.2 (32 GB/s) ports. A Turbo B-Clock component is featured right in the center of the board which may boost clock speeds but we don’t really know what is the specific purpose or how the chip will operate until the board is launched. For storage, we get an impressive 10 SATA III 6 GB/s ports and three SATA Express ports. These ports are situated right next to two USB 3.0 front panel and two USB 2.0 front panel ports. Dual BIOS switch can be found right below the large PCB heatsink near the storage ports. A PEG connector can also be found to deliver more power to the expansion slots. Other features include a Creative certified Sound Blaster ZxRi 120+dB SNR, HDMI 2.0 connectors, Killer Double Shot Pro X3 network, USB 3.1 Type-C ports and LED Trace Path with 7 color choices.
    The GA-Z170X-Gaming GT and GA-Z170X Gaming 7 on the other hand have a few features toned down to deliver more cost effective products. We get to see three PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots, two M.2 slots on the GT, single M.2 slot on the Gaming 7 and a range of other features on both boards. The Gaming 7 doesn’t get any heat pipe or water based cooling solution and the GT only incorporates the heatpipe solution on the VRM heat sinks. Nevertheless, all the boards are impressive and you can take a look at them yourself in the gallery below:

    BIOSTAR Shows off Hi-Fi B150Z5 with DDR3 and DDR4 Memory Slots

    Here's one of the first glimpses of a socket LGA1151 motherboard featuring both DDR3 and DDR4 memory slots, the Hi-Fi B150Z5 by BIOSTAR. The board supports up to 16 GB of DDR3L-1600, and up to 32 GB of DDR4-2133. The board is driven by Intel's mid-range B150 Express chipset, and should do just fine for gaming builds with single graphics cards. Expansion slots include one PCI-Express 3.0 x16, one PCIe 2.0 x16 (electrical x4), three legacy PCI, and one PCIe 2.0 x1. Storage connectivity includes six SATA 6 Gb/s (from which two wire out as SATA-Express 16 Gb/s). BIOSTAR's Hi-Fi 6-channel onboard audio solution, gigabit Ethernet (Intel controller), and six USB 3.0 ports, make for the rest of its connectivity. The board features dual-UEFI BIOS.
