Gigabyte GA-X170-EXTREME ECC Rev 1.0 Schematic
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Gigabyte GA-X170-Extreme ECC motherboard, revision 1.0, is built on the Intel LGA1151 Skylake platform with a PCH (Z170/H170) southbridge. It features a Dual BIOS configuration with 128M capacity, managed by an ITE 8620 LPC I/O EC/KBC. The board supports DDR4 memory across two channels, each with two DIMM slots. Graphics architecture includes PCI Express X16 and X8 slots with switching capability. Networking is handled by a Killer E2201 and Intel i219V LAN ICs, with Alpine Ridge for wireless connectivity. Power management utilizes ISL95856 PWM controllers and RT8120 regulators. The audio subsystem is driven by a Creative Sound3Di codec. Additional controllers include an ASM1061 SATA III controller, D720210 USB hub, MCDP2800-BA HDMI level shifter, and IDT6V41510 clock buffer. The board also incorporates NTC thermal sensors and supports dGPU via MVP 8C.
