BIOSTAR Racing Z370GT6 LGA1151 Motherboard Review

Motherboards/Intel S1151 by stefan @ 2018-04-22

With the Z370GT6 LGA1151 board for the newest Coffee Lake Intel processors, BIOSTAR ticks the necessary boxes by including decent overclocking capabilities, a refreshed Racing theme and UEFI interface, but also an easy to use Windows utility.
