Gigabyte GA-Z270N-GAMING Schematic
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Gigabyte GA-Z270N-Gaming 5 motherboard, revision 1.0, dated January 18, 2017, is built on the Intel LGA1151 platform supporting Skylake and Kaby Lake processors with a Z1270/H270 PCH. It features dual-channel DDR4 memory across two DIMM slots. The system is managed by an ITE 8686 LPC I/O controller, with audio handled by a Realtek ALC1220 codec and networking by an Intel i219V LAN controller. Power regulation includes an IR35201 PWM for VCORE and VCCGT, alongside RT8120 and RT8068A regulators. USB 3.1 connectivity is provided via an ASM2142 hub, while display output supports HDMI and DP interfaces. The board also includes an M.2 WiFi slot, NCT3933 thermal monitoring, and TI HD3SS3212 and TUSB321_B for GPU switching.
