GIGABYTE GA-H170N-WIFI (Rev. 1.0)
LGA1151 H170 Mini-ITX board with onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This specification is limited to GA-H170N-WIFI Rev. 1.0; processor support and firmware are revision-specific.
IDENTIFICATION: Confirm the complete model suffix and PCB revision printed on the board. Select firmware and parts from the documentation for this exact revision; a matching socket or product family alone does not establish compatibility.
Specifications
| Exact model / PCB revision | GIGABYTE GA-H170N-WIFI (Rev. 1.0) |
|---|---|
| Processor / socket | LGA1151 socket for supported 6th-generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors; selected 7th-generation CPUs require a BIOS update. Use the model-specific CPU list to identify minimum firmware. |
| Chipset | Intel H170 Express. |
| Form factor | Mini-ITX, 170 × 170 mm. |
| Memory and slots | Two DDR4 dual-channel UDIMM sockets, up to 32 GB; DDR4-2133 base platform support, non-ECC unbuffered memory; memory profiles do not override CPU/chipset limits. |
| Expansion | One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot; rear M.2 Socket 3 for supported SATA/PCIe SSD and separate wireless M.2 interface/onboard radio. |
| Storage | Six SATA 6 Gb/s connectors, two SATA Express connectors, and rear-side M.2 Socket 3 SSD connector (2260/2280); consult the manual for shared SATA lanes and RAID configuration. |
| Network and onboard I/O | Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet controllers, onboard dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, external antenna connectors; Realtek HD audio and CPU-dependent video outputs. |
| Power connections | 24-pin ATX main connector and CPU ATX12V/EPS power input; consult the Rev. 1.0 manual for exact connector placement/pin count and the system PSU rating. |
| BIOS / firmware | GIGABYTE AMI UEFI DualBIOS. The 7th-gen LGA1151 CPU family needs a compatible BIOS; verify minimum version and update process before changing CPU. |
| Enclosure compatibility | Mini-ITX 170 × 170 mm chassis pattern. Check GPU/cooler clearances, the rear-side M.2 socket service access, Wi-Fi antenna routing, and airflow for installed CPU and storage. |
Compatibility and revision notes
The board has both M.2 storage and wireless connectivity; these are different functions. Lane sharing and drive population can affect available SATA ports, so follow the revision-specific storage table.
Before assembly, verify the exact CPU support list and minimum firmware, memory generation and population order, storage lane sharing, add-in card dimensions, chassis standoffs and PSU leads in the cited revision-matched manual. Observe ESD precautions and never update with firmware for a similarly named board.
Installation and preservation
Inspect the PCB revision silkscreen, socket or soldered processor, memory slots, power connectors, storage sockets and rear-I/O ports before use. Record BIOS version, date/serial identifiers, installed accessories and test conditions; keep the board manual and firmware tied to its exact model and revision.
