Before You Begin…

EVGA welcomes you to the next generation of Intel performance: the Z270

STINGER! The Z270 platform supports the newest Kaby Lake-S processors

and is backwards-compatible with existing Socket-1151 Skylake

processors. EVGA Z270 motherboards further refine high-performance with

multiple options for all the latest SSD options with support for U.2, M.2 and

PCI-E drives and is Intel®Optane™ Memory Ready – a revolutionary higher-

density memory interface, based on 3D Xpoint Technology, delivers a new

generation of SSDs designed to obliterate loading times for gamers. However,

the Z270 platform also supports all the features you’ve come to expect from

EVGA, including up to 32GBs of Dual-channel DDR4 memory at a maximum

memory speed of up to 3600MHz+ (OC), Gigabit-NIC support, USB 3.0 and

USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C support, Intel HD Graphics, an updated

UEFI\BIOS GUI, PWM fan control to fit everyone’s needs. The Z270

STINGER is built with a 10-layer PCB, featuring a CPU socket with 150%

higher Gold content powered by an Advanced 5+1-phase Digital VRM (5

Phase VCore, 1 Phase Memory PWM), providing industry-leading stability for

all your applications.

Furthermore, this board is designed not ONLY for overclockers, but also for

SFF gamers with a x16slot for blazing-fast video, integrated Intel WiFi, an Intel

i219 NIC, M.2 type M, U.2, and much more!

Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z270

STINGER features an updated UEFI\BIOS GUI with a focus on overclocking

and functionality in a lean, straight-forward package. You won’t need to be an

expert to configure your motherboard, but if you are, you’ll find features

unavailable anywhere else. Combining the best of current technology with the

latest innovations, EVGA is further refining motherboard performance!

Intentions of the Kit

When replacing a different model motherboard in a PC case, you may need to

reinstall your operating system, even though the current HDD/SSD may

already have one installed. Keep in mind, however, you may sometimes also

need to reinstall your OS after a RMA even if your motherboard remains the

same due to issues that occurred prior to replacing the motherboard.
