[PConline evaluation] This year, thanks to AMD's efforts, the original boring CPU market was reactivated, and the motherboard products were also enriched. In the next few months, new chipsets will be available in succession. Most of the motherboards reviewed during this time were M-ATX and ATX form factors. Today, they finally came back with a Z270 for the ITX form factor, Z270N-Gaming 5 from Gigabyte.
At first glance, it was thought that it was the Phoenix board. However, there was no relevant word on the model name. It was just a simple Gaming series.
â—170mm×170mm standard ITX form factor
GIGABYTE Z270N-Gaming 5 Reference price: Loading... Image reviews Overview of quotation parameters
People who have seen the ITX motherboard for the first time will always be pleasantly surprised. Right, hahaha. That's right, it's not easy to integrate a large number of components in a limited amount of PCB space. However, there are already very mature solutions. You can easily search for a few 200-series ITX motherboards this year. You will find that all the interfaces are arranged in the same position. Hahaha... Perhaps this is chosen by history. The most practical plan for it.
â—Is ITX motherboard good?
Small motherboards are bound to sacrifice their expansion capabilities, after all, the number of interfaces that can be placed will be even less, but on the other hand, because of the size of the motherboard can be reduced into a more compact chassis, the advantages of a small chassis is more beautiful and beautiful Slightly. like this--
Compared to silly, black and thick traditional chassis, such a small chassis can not be hindered by space on the desktop, and even can be used as a decorative decoration. For the value-seekers, there may be no small attraction.
â— motherboard details Appreciation 1
LGA1151 slot
I/O armor
GAMING heat sink
Connects south bridge and CPU-powered heat pipe
Because ITX systems have limited space and heat is easy to collect, they must be designed for heat dissipation.
PCIe slot
ITX motherboard comes standard with a PCIe 3.0x16 slot, Gigabyte Z270N-GAMING 5 also made alloy curing treatment PCIe slot, for this small board is still very real.
M.2 SSD interface on the back of the motherboard
At present, most ITX motherboards have designed the M.2 interface on the back of the motherboard, because the front space is really limited.

Memory slot
Is also the standard ITX motherboard, orange design is easy to think of Gigabyte's Phoenix.
SATA interface × 4
ITX motherboard comes standard with four SATA 3.0 interfaces.
Front panel interface
This pile of wire, it is strongly recommended that after the first good to put the motherboard into the chassis, or really can not get haha.
CPU power supply module
The CPU power supply module uses a 6+2 phase design. The 6+2 phase power supply is not a problem for the high-end i7. Wait for the full load test to see what the true effect is.
Audio module
Decoding chip is ALC1220, slightly stronger than the ALC1150, is already a very high-end chip, after all, it is a small ITX board, you can try to go on the place where you expect.
M.2 wireless network card module
The wireless WiFi terminal of the I/O interface is connected to this network card and supports 11AC and Bluetooth 4.2.
I/O interface
The highlight is a set of USB 3.1 A+C interface and WiFi binding posts. The others are all regular interfaces.
WiFi antenna
With the antenna provided on the mainboard, the receiving capability of the wireless network can be enhanced. For the host of the living room, the WiFi function is still necessary because the living room may not have a reserved cable interface. But for users who put computer desks, it is still more recommended to use RJ-45 cable network, after all, the cable is still a little tricky.
Machine measurement: excellent heat control
In order to be more compatible with this small ITX motherboard, it also got an ITX short card. The performance of the GTX 1050 was not so strong, but the win was small enough, and the power consumption and heat were low enough.
Dual Channel DDR4 Memory
Looming LED lights
There is also orange light near the CPU base
PCIe slot lighting effect
Obviously it is the color of the Phoenix board... hahaha, the LED lights are all orange.
Gigabyte Graphical BIOS:
At present, the BIOS of various manufacturers have their own characteristics, and this style of Gigabyte has also been followed for a long time. It used to be a gray and black color matching. This generation changed to red and black color matching, but the arrangement of options has not changed so much.
Boot:
Boot
The CPU uses a seven-generation Core i5-7500 that fits better with the ITX platform, and the graphics card is the GTX1050.
Full load heat test:
Through the thermal imager test, the room temperature is 25°C, and the temperature at full load is only 52°C. The temperature control is still very strong. There is no need to worry about the heating problem when tucking into the mini chassis.
PConline evaluation room summary:
Recently also said that my evaluation will be included in the poor assessment test content, that is, in the e-commerce platform baby evaluation to find the difference in the content to restore the test, but the sales of this board Gigabyte is not too high, Jingdong + Taobao + day The total number of cats can be counted, and there is no difference yet, so the bad evaluation test was shelved.
And from the use of materials, workmanship, heat testing point of view, the motherboard is still very worthy of recognition, at least did not find the point to Tucao, some of the interfaces are given, it can not give, other ITX also can not give ...
However, of course, if you do not overclock, it may be more economical to buy a B250 ITX motherboard.
Applicable people: like small fresh mini chassis; recommended with i5-7500, ITX graphics or nuclear display use.
