The EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard is engineered to win. Designed for next generation hardware, the EVGA Z170 FTW features a new BIOS GUI interface designed to be fast and have the best overclocking support and functionality. A highly efficient VRM provides the cleanest power to the CPU possible, fed through a CPU socket that has 1.5X the amount of gold content for improved signal quality. A total of 4 DIMM slots support up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and the PCI Express layout is optimized for improved lane distribution and better performance with native support for NVIDIA SLI technology.

A170 Platform Intel® Z170 Platform Unlocks Incredible Efficiency

Intel® Z170 Chipset



Supports up to 8 CPU threads (8-core)

Supports DDR4 Memory

First to support PCI-E 3.0 from PCH

USB 3.1 Support (EVGA Z170 Classified) Performance Leadership



Up to 11% Faster CPU (SPECint rate base 2006)

22% Lower TDP (65W vs 84W)

Up to 28% Faster Intel® HD Graphics (3DMark 11 Graphics Score)

6 Layer PCB



High layer count enhances stability both for heavy loads as well as high overclocking.

2-Way SLI® Support



The EVGA Z170 FTW is rated for up to 2-Way SLI® + Physx® to handle the most demanding video loads.

M.2 Support



The Z170 FTW includes support for full size storage and WiFi from the M.2 jacks.

High Gold Content For CPU Socket



Higher volume of precious metal (150% Gold) used in the sockets greatly improves the conductivity and produces a cleaner signal due to less resistance / impedance.

Onboard Power, Reset and CMOS Reset Buttons



When testing on the Z170, or running it in a benching environment where you do not need to worry about wiring the board to a case to have access to power and reset buttons, they are built onto the board.

6 Phase PWM



An 6 Phase PWM helps to ensure that the power reaching the processor is clean and stable.
