Melakukan upgrade sistem PC desktop Anda ke platform Skylake saat ini mungkin akan terasa kurang ramah di kantong bagi sebagian orang. Apalagi jika Anda ingin menggunakan motherboard dengan chipset unggulan platform Skylake, Intel Z170. Memang motherboard dengan chipset ini menawarkan berbagai fitur baru dan tentu juga premium, tentunya dengan harganya tak murah dan juga Anda harus memperhitungkan dana untuk RAM DDR4 baru. Mungkin masalah ini akan dapat sedikit teratasi dengan solusi yang disuguhkan oleh Gigabyte yang menghadirkan motherboard berbasis Intel Z170 dengan dukungan memori RAM DDR3, Gigabyte Z170-HD3 DDR3.
Ketika arsitektur pertama kali diumumkan, Intel jelas menyatakan bahwa dukungan untuk RAM DDR3 bertegangan rendah 1.35V (DDR3L) tersedia untuk platform barunya mereka. Dukungan platform Skylake terhadap memori RAM DDR3 adalah salah satu hal menarik dari platform ini. Hal ini membuat Anda yang ingin upgrade dari platform sebelumnya dipermudah dan dapat menghemat budget Anda karena Anda berpeluang menggunakan RAM DDR3 lama Anda.
Kebetulan beberapa waktu lalu kami berkesempatan mencoba motherboard Z170-HD3 DDR3 yang masuk dalam jajaran Ultra Durable Series Gigabyte ini. Bagaimana kemampuannya menangani prosesor Core i7-6700K saat disandingkan dengan RAM DDR3? Penasaran, simak ulasan kami di artikel kami berikut ini.
Intel Z170 adalah chipset unggulan untuk platform PC desktop kelas mainstream terbaru Intel. Motherboard dengan chipset tersebut mendukung prosesor Intel generasi keenam, Skylake, mulai dari prosesor Intel Skylake seri Pentium, Core i3, Core i5, hingga seri unggulannya, Core i7. Chipset ini juga mengalami sejumlah perkembangan dari segi fitur. Kini motherboard dengan Chipset Intel Z170 mengusung sejumlah fitur, seperti; 20 jalur PCI Express 3.0, dual channel memori DDR3L hingga 1600MHz/DDR4 hingga 2133MHz, 6 port SATA III 6Gbps, 10 port USB 3.0, 14 port USB 2.0, dan dukungan tuning untuk komponen prosesor dan juga memori.
