GIGABYTE GA-Z270N-WIFI (Rev. 1.0)
Compact Z270 Mini-ITX board for supported 6th- and 7th-generation LGA1151 desktop processors. This record is for GA-Z270N-WIFI Rev. 1.0; use the exact CPU list and firmware support page.
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-Z270N-WIFI (Rev. 1.0) |
|---|---|
| Processor / socket | LGA1151 socket for supported 7th- and 6th-generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron CPUs listed by GIGABYTE; verify CPU-specific BIOS support before installation. |
| Chipset | Intel Z270 Express. |
| Form factor | Mini-ITX, 170 × 170 mm. |
| Memory and slots | Two DDR4 dual-channel UDIMM slots, up to 32 GB; advertised high-rate/overclocked DIMM support depends on CPU, BIOS and memory kit; non-ECC unbuffered modules are the mainstream configuration. |
| Expansion | One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot; one M.2 Socket 3 for supported SATA/PCIe SSD (check the socket’s placement and module clearance against the case). |
| Storage | Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports and one M.2 Socket 3 SSD interface, with model-specific lane/RAID options as described in the manual. |
| Network and onboard I/O | Dual Gigabit Ethernet, onboard dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 with antenna connectors; onboard audio and CPU-dependent display outputs. |
| Power connections | 24-pin ATX main-power plus CPU ATX12V/EPS input; verify connector pinout and PSU capacity against the Rev. 1.0 manual and installed CPU/GPU. |
| BIOS / firmware | GIGABYTE AMI UEFI DualBIOS. Z270 supports listed 6th/7th-gen processor families; individual model support still follows the Rev. 1.0 CPU list and BIOS requirements. |
| Enclosure compatibility | Standard 170 × 170 mm Mini-ITX mounting pattern; verify dual-slot GPU dimensions, CPU cooler and radiator clearance, rear I/O, antenna leads, and front-panel wiring for the selected compact case. |
Compatibility and revision notes
The Z270 model’s onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and dual LAN distinguish it from similarly named Z270 boards. Confirm exact suffix and PCB revision before firmware updates.
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.
