You could be forgiven for thinking the EVGA Z270 Stinger is a full-size motherboard, given the features crammed into its mini-ITX frame. You wouldn’t be forgiven, however, if you judged its performance based on its size. Featuring a next-gen Intel® Z270 Express Chipset with DDR4 3600MHz+ memory support and a 10-layer PCB, this motherboard is built to erase the line between a HTPC and heavy-duty gaming. With four native SATA 6G ports, M.2, U.2 and is Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready, you won’t be left wanting for storage or speed options. Along with USB 3.1 Type-A, USB 3.1 Type-C, 8 native USB 3.0, and included Dual-band WiFi + Bluetooth for versatility, you won’t be stung by regret.
