In addition, the Z170X-Designare’s unique layout allows for support of up to three Intel 750 Series NVMe SSDs which can be configured in RAID 0 for record speeds of up to 3.6 GB/s (Sequential Read), making GIGABYTE the obvious choice for the ultimate PC.
Best 3-Way SLI™/ CrossFire™ Multi-Graphics
Multi-graphics configurations offer better graphics performance to engineers and digital artists who run GPU demanding programs. In addition, GIGABYTE’s engineers spent time researching and developing the X99-Designare EX PCIe slot design to ensure that the spacing between the graphics cards allow for maximum airflow and at the same time prevent overheating which may cause the GPU to throttle.
