The motherboard, however, may have a limitation as to how much memory can be installed.Įighth-gen Intel CPUs are compatible with DDR4 (up to 2,400 or 2,666 MHz, depending on the model) memory.
Intel socket LGA1151 CPUs have an embedded memory controller, meaning that it is the processor, not the chipset, that defines what memory technologies you can have and the maximum amount of memory that is possible.
One of the M.2 slots come with a heatsink, shown in Figure 3. There are also two M.2 slots, one supporting PCI Express 3.0 x4 and SATA-600, and one supporting only PCI Express SSDs. The motherboard supports CrossFire with up to three and SLI with two video cards. The first two PCI Express x16 slots are covered by stainless steel shields, that work as a shield against interference, and also improving mechanical strength of each slot. The first two PCI Express x16 slots work on x16/x0 or x8/x8 configurations, and the third one works always on x4 speed. The ASUS PRIME Z370-A comes with three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots and four PCI Express 3.0 x1 slots. It uses the ATX form factor, measuring 12” x 9.6” (305 x 244 mm). You can see the ASUS PRIME Z370-A motherboard in Figure 1. ASUS PRIME Z370-A MotherboardĮxcept 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. Also, Coffee Lake processors are not compatible with motherboards based on 100 and 200 chipset series. 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. The Intel Z370 chipset is the high-end model for eighth-gen Intel Core i CPUs. It brings LED illumination, three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, six SATA-600 ports, six USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 3.1 ports. Sorry for hijacking the thread, I'm bit new to message boards, I'll create another thread as well.The ASUS PRIME Z370-A is a superior mainstream socket LGA1151 motherboard based on the Intel Z370 chipset, supporting the eighth generation Core i processors, also known as Coffee Lake. I've spend an hours with Dell Support today explaning the situation but they could not come up with a solution. I ckecked the bios, TBT is enabled, no security (SL0), the dock is recognised and approved in the TBT app on windows, I've looked online and on Dell community threads but was unsuccesfull in trouble shooting my issue. I also have another small dock (Dell DA300) and the same issue arrize, no problem to output video and use the usb port when connectig it to my laptop USB-C port, but only video works when connecting it to the TBT add-on card on my T7910. I know my dock is working fine because I use it with my XPS13 laptop without issues and all ports (USB & Ethernet) are working. I'm connecting the TBT cable to a TBT3 docking station, the display works (2x 2.5k resolution) but no usb connection.the ports get powered but no data get transfered (no mouse, no keyboard). Hi you where mentioning Precision workstation in this post, I actually have a T7910 with a TBT header on the motherboard, I bought this TBT3 PCIe card (555-beox) specifically to add TBT3 to T7910 workstation, the card was added on slot 3 (as per Dell's official video on youtube) and the header cable connected.
