 Introduction

The ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 is a “high-mainstream”  socket LGA1151 motherboard based on the Intel Z370 chipset, supporting  the eighth generation Core i processors, also known as Coffee Lake. It  brings LED illumination, three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, eight SATA-600  ports, nine USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 3.1 ports. Let’s take a good  look at it! The Intel Z370 chipset is the high-end model for eighth-gen Intel  Core i CPUs. Although this generation uses the same socket (LGA1151) of  the older ones, the new motherboards are not compatible with sixth-  (Skylake) and seventh-gen (Kaby Lake) CPUs. Also, Coffee Lake processors  are not compatible with motherboards based on 100 and 200 chipset  series. Except for the support for the new generation CPUs, the Z370 is  identical to its predecessor, the Z270, offering 24 PCI Express 3.0  lanes controlled by the chipset, six SATA-600 ports, support to Optane,  Smart Response (installing an SSD as a cache for the main hard drive),  Smart Connect (allowing the computer to receive emails and refresh  webpages while in sleep mode), and Rapid Start (faster boot times)  technologies. You can see the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 motherboard in Figure  1. It uses the ATX form factor, measuring 12” x 9.6” (305 x 244 mm).
