Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI Motherboard Review

The front of the motherboard's packaging shouts out the product name and also features Heroes of the Storm game branding.

A closer look at features and specifications is found on the rear of the box.

bundle

Given the board's entry-level pricing for a SLI-certified part, the comparably healthy bundle is surprising.

Gigabyte includes four SATA cables, which is great to see. Completing the bundle are a basic rear IO shield, a black SLI ribbon, and Gigabyte's G-connector device for easily connecting front panel cables.

docs

The standard set of documentation is supplied – a user manual, driver CD, and case sticker. A Heroes of the Storm branded door hanger and leaflet are also provided.

  1. I fail to see how this board is slower than the other 2 as the frame testing is within margin of error.

  2. When one activates the XMP profile it automatically activates a memory stability option that should be set to normal to regain those 10Gbps extra. I don’t remember exactly how that option is called but just search for a memory related option that says “compatibility” or “stability” and switch it to “normal” instead.
