Gigabyte Z370M D3H rev. 1.0
Photos 6 | Outdated Product One of the relatively inexpensive Gigabyte motherboards based on the top Intel Z370 chipset with an LGA1151 v2. Compatible with 8th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron processors with Coffee Lake microarchitecture. It has a 7-phase digital CPU power subsystem with large aluminium heatsinks and full-fledged overclocking functionality, suitable for reasonable overclocking of the processor and memory with a moderate increase in supply voltage. The manufacturer is positioning itself as a multi-purpose product designed both for creating high-performance home and gaming systems, and for completing entry-level workstations. The Gigabyte Z370M D3H motherboard is made in accordance with the proprietary Ultra Durable concept, which includes the use of improved fibreglass, high-temp...erature polymer capacitors, case chokes and Low RDS MOSFETs. Supports up to 64GB of DDR4-2133/2400/2666 dual-channel memory. Equipped with two M.2 PCI-E Gen3 x4 / x2 ports for connecting NVMe SSD drives and 6 SATA3 connectors. Equipped with an Intel i219V gigabit network controller, the Realtek ALC892 audio codec is responsible for sound output. |

Top logic board Z370
You rarely see anything interesting in the $100 motherboard segment. Usually these are the simplest workhorses with identical functionality and without claims to fly to the stars. The more interesting is the Gigabyte Z370M D3H, which is based on the top-end Intel Z370 logic, which is usually used in products for gamers and enthusiasts.
The Perfect Solution for the Optimal Gaming PC
The Z370M D3H boasts a 7-phase CPU power subsystem with large aluminium heatsinks and full overclocking functionality. Naturally, within reasonable limits — this board is still not a suitable candidate for working at maximum voltage with eight-core chips. However, Gigabyte is not trying to deceive anyone, positioning this board as a solution for mid-level workstations and gaming computers.
Maximum functionality
In terms of layout, the Gigabyte Z370M D3H is much closer to gaming boards than a modest one in the low-cost segment. The board is equipped with 4 slots for RAM (maximum 64 GB), 2 PCI-E 16x slots for connecting a pair of video cards, a pair of M.2 connectors for installing high-speed SSD drives, DVI-D and HDMI video connectors, and a bundle of USB including USB-C. Inherited from the Z370M D3H gaming boards, it also received advanced options for connecting and controlling an RGB strip when the case is backlit.
Ultra Durable
Like all boards from Gigabyte of the latest generations, the Z370M D3H uses an improved textolite, high-temperature polymer capacitors and other electronic improvements that correspond to the Ultra Durable concept. In general, this is an extremely successful motherboard without any minor omissions such as an inconvenient layout of SATA connectors or jambs in the BIOS. It is not without reason that in every second review it receives not only a high rating, but also a strong recommendation for purchase.
