Supermicro C7Z270-CG LGA1151 Motherboard Review

Audio Performance

Despite utilising the older Realtek ALC1150 codec, the audio performance was splendid and greatly exceeded my expectations. The motherboard has an excellent frequency response, dynamic range and stereo crosstalk at various bit-rates. Not only that, the THD% was great and there’s very little to complain about.

16 Bit, 44KHz (DVD Quality)

16 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

24 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

DPC Audio Latency Analyser

Here we can see the motherboard’s audio latency is pretty decent and easily forged ahead of the MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON.
