Biostar Z170Z5 Hi-Fi Supports DDR3 and DDR4 Memory
The latest addition to Biostar’s Hi-Fi motherboard family is the Z170Z5, an ATX motherboard that curiously supports both DDR3L and DDR4 memory modules on its four DIMM slots. The black modules support DDR3 modules while the brown DIMM slot pair supports DDR4. The Z170Z5 has a 4+2 phase design for the CPU+GT. Since the Z170Z5 is part of the Hi-Fi motherboard series, it sports the familiar piano key heatsink design on the MOSFETs and features Biostar’s Puro Hi-Fi audio subsystem design using a Realtek ALC892 HD audio codec. Gigabit ethernet is handled by an Intel i219v PHY.
