BIOSTAR Z270GT8 Motherboard Review

System IO Benchmarks

CrystalDiskMark SATA6G:

CrystalDiskMark M.2:

ixChariot Network Throughput:

The Z270GT8's SATA and Network performance are average, but its M.2 sequential performance is outstanding.

Audio RMAA 5.5:

I disable all audio features, set the correct bitrates, and then test the audio with a loopback test.

Sound Judgment by Ear: Very Good. BIOSTAR's implementation of the ALC1220 is good but could be a bit better. There are five ratings for audio: 1. Problems, 2. Okay, 3. Acceptable, 4. Very good, 5. Excellent
