Which CPUs does the C7Z270-CG-M support?

It takes 6th- and 7th-generation Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 chips plus Pentium and Celeron processors on the LGA 1151 socket. It does not support 8th-gen or later CPUs.

Can I overclock on this board?

Yes. The Z270 chipset unlocks CPU and memory overclocking on K-series processors, unlike B250 or H270 boards.

What memory does it use?

It uses DDR4 memory in its DIMM slots. Check Supermicro's qualified memory list for speeds and capacities it validates.

What size case does it fit?

It is a microATX board, so it fits microATX and most ATX cases. It will not fit a mini-ITX case.

Is it worth buying over a newer board?

Only if you already own a 6th- or 7th-gen Intel CPU and DDR4 memory. A newer socket gives you a real upgrade path; this one ends at 7th-gen.

Does it have built-in Wi-Fi?

No. It relies on wired Ethernet, so add a Wi-Fi card or USB adapter if you need wireless.

Our take on the Supermicro C7Z270-CG-M

The Supermicro C7Z270-CG-M is a microATX motherboard built on Intel's Z270 chipset with an LGA 1151 socket. It supports 6th- and 7th-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors and allows CPU overclocking, which the cheaper B250 and H270 boards do not. It suits builders who want a compact, workstation-grade board for an older Intel chip rather than a consumer gaming board. Against mainstream Z270 microATX boards it trades RGB styling and flashy heatsinks for Supermicro's server-style build and plain layout.
