500 Million Motherboards Sold

In 2014, during its 25th year in business, ASUS sold its 500 Millionth motherboard, solidfying its place in history. ASUS Motherboards proudly exemplify the 'Best' design philosophy: Breakthrough technology, Easy Setup, Stable operation and Trusted reputation.

ASUS Z170-A

Overview

Featuring a new white aesthetic that meshes well with a variety of chassis colors and designs, the Z170-A with 5-Way Optimization has the right combination of features to make the most of 6th Gen Intel Core Processors.

UEFI BIOS for All

With an intuitive EZ Mode and robust Advanced Mode, the Z170-A provides a wealth of easy-to-use features, such EZ Flash 3 to update UEFI from the internet without booting into Windows and overclocking / RAID wizards. At the same time, seasoned builders will appreciate the new pre-populated My Favorites tab as well as the depth of settings that have been maintained from previous generations.

Industry-leading 5X Protection II

Once built, a system needs to resist a variety of lifespan-reducing elements to ensure it can deliver for years to come, and 5X Protection II does just that. Combining LANGuard surge-protected networking, Overvoltage Protection (OVP), digital power delivery, Overcurrent Protection (OCP) and a stainless steel back I/O into 5X Protection II provides hardware level safeguards for long-term reliability.

Performs a variety of system tuning procedures through a single click:

1. Turbo Processing Unit (TPU) with Auto Tuning is able to automatically overclock the CPU to 95% of its potential maximum frequency, with an exhaustive stress-testing routine to ensure stable operation.

2. Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically adjusts power consumption according to the PC's needs, going as far as shutting down unused extra I/O controllers and graphics cards' power levels when unused.

3. Fan Xpert 3 is an advanced combination of hardware and software that can automatically calibrate PWM (on all 4-pin fan headers) or DC fans in the system for the right combination of cool and quiet.

4. DIGI+ Power Control fully complies with Intel IMVP8 specifications to ensures stable digital power delivery to increase overclocking potential, enhance system stability and improve power efficiency.

5. Turbo App allows for customized overclocking, cooling, network prioritization and audio profiles to be applied automatically on a by-application basis, making transitioning from gaming to watching a movie seamless.

Faster Storage by Design Those looking to adopt speedy PCIe M.2 x4 will be happy to find the onboard slot supports 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 lengths of drives, able to accommodate larger capacity M.2 drives. For those that must have the fastest speed at any cost, the Z170-A offers several options for PCIe RAID: the onboard PCIe M.2 slot can be combined with another M.2 via the Hyper M.2 x4 add-on card (sold separately) or a PCIe NVMe drive. Alternatively, the M.2 slot can be adapted to U.2 via the ASUS Hyper Kit (sold separately) and then combined with a PCIe NVMe drive.	USB 3.1, Two Ways With both Type A and Type C USB 3.1 ports onboard, the Z170-Deluxe is capable of handling current USB 3.1 devices, as well as up-and-coming devices. What's more, ASUS USB 3.1 performance can take advantage of USB 3.1 Boost, pushing transfer speeds even higher than competitors' offerings.


Crystal Sound 3 for Sublime Audio A combination of hardware design and cherry-picked components deliver immersive audio with impeccable clarity for nearly any scenario, from gaming on a headset to enjoying a movie on 7.1 speakers.	Faster, More Reliable Ethernet Starting with the Intel I219-V Gigabit NIC, wired connections enjoy higher throughput and lower CPU overhead compared to alternatives. Combining that with ASUS Turbo LAN packet prioritization software ensures low-latency gaming, and minimal video buffering. Add in LANGuard hardware-level safeguards for both ESD and surge protection to ensure long-lasting performance.	Industry-Leading 5X Protection II Once built, a system needs to resist a variety of lifespan-reducing elements to ensure it can deliver for years to come, and 5X Protection II does just that. Combining LANGuard surge-protected networking, Overvoltage Protection (OVP), digital power delivery, Overcurrent Protection (OCP) and a stainless steel back I/O into 5X Protection II provides hardware level safeguards for long-term reliability.	Easy Setup for Easy DIY For years, ASUS Q-Design has been quietly making the build process easier and more enjoyable. The joy of build-your-own is not just about the finished product, but about the journey itself.

A vital tip for water-cooler users.

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015

Size: ATXStyle: Z170-A

The ASUS Z170-A is one fine motherboard with a great UEFI BIOS. It automatically overclocked my i5-6600 K chip from 3.5GHz to 4.6GHz, and aside from one very annoying factor, it is an easy BIOS to use.

I used the Antec Kuhler 1250 water cooler, and it paired nicely with this board and the Antec Eleven Hundred V2 case. However, when you hook up the Antec 1250 to the Z170-A dedicated water cooler header (instead of the CPU fan header), on first boot you get a message to disable the fan speed in Q-fan control in the BIOS. Naturally, you go to the Q-fan control page, which is easy to find. It even has manual settings for each individual fan. But you can search until your whiskers grow long and you will not find any disabling feature.

If you cannot get beyond the error message, you cannot install your operating system, so I called ASUS tech support. Long story short: after 50 minutes on the phone the tech could not solve the problem either. He told me to update my BIOS because my BIOS probably did not support that feature. I did, but that was not the problem. The control is located in another area of the BIOS. Go into the Advanced BIOS (not EZ BIOS) and look under the Monitor Tab (the tech thought it was under the Power Tab, but there is no Power Tab). There, you will find a way to turn off the fan setting.

ASUS, you have a wonderful product. Why not put all the Q-fan controls within the Q-fan control area, (or at least show a link to the disable control). Nobody, including your own tech reps, will think to look under Monitor when you have your fan controls consolidated elsewhere. When people read Monitor, they will probably think you are talking about a display. Your ads claim you have an intuitive BIOS, MAKE IT SO!

And by the way, your tech-support email form, which requires you to fill out every last bit of information about your system and wants to know when you last visited your dentist, would not send an email. I finally gave up after a half-hour of trial and error attempts. It needs simplification too.

Promising Model but Terrible Customer Service and Warranty Support

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

Size: ATXStyle: Z170-ARVerified Purchase

I bought this motherboard from MicroCenter in Tustin, CA in early May 2016. It was the 3rd in a series of motherboard I had tested that appear like too much or not enough. At about $105 this motherboard seemed like a promising bargain. And it was for the first month. Upon installing, I had a glitch which tech support helped me with by directing me to reset the BIOS. I was then able to install Windows 10 Pro and a Samsung 512GB m.2 drive. It was sweet and the benchmarks were better than average.

Then in the first week of June, right after the 30-Day return deadline had expired, I started getting crashes. They would happen soon after booting Windows 10. Machine Crash Exceptions. I called tech support and was sent on wild goose chases, testing RAM sticks one by one, resetting BIOS, removing BIOS battery, etc. Finally, after hours and several phone calls, they agreed to issue RMA.

I got the mobo back a week later with the exact same issue. No report of what actual repairs were made. When prodded, they said they had upgraded to the most recent BIOS version, the one I thought I had already flashed, and not the latest, either.

After several phone calls they agreed to issue another RMA. This time I was told the CPU socke pins had been damaged but they'd waive the $140 repair cost as a courtesy. Notice the price of repair is higher than the motherboard itself. Fortunately, I had taken video of CPU socket pins as I felt the shipping instructions warned about such damage. See the attached picture showing protector before shipping. Their diagnostic isn't consistent with the symptoms the system displayed. Why would it suddenly start crashing after a month of nearly flawless performance? ASUS alleges not having the mobo in stock and therefore not being able to send me a new one. I'm waiting for the "repaired" unit to be shipped back to me (today is October 7, 2016), but I'm pretty sure the pins were not even damaged and will most likely suffer the same issue. They're wasting my time.

If the "repaired" motherboard works I will certainly come back and upgrade the two start rating. In the meantime, this experience has left an ugly taste.

Nice looking board for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016

Size: ATXStyle: Z170 Pro Gaming/AURAVerified Purchase

Nice board for the price range. I looked at nearly every board Asus sold with the 5 way optimization with plenty of features and didn't wanna spend a small fortune. When I reviewed this board at the price, I just couldn't pass it up. This board is one step down from the lower cost ROG series boards, but at a affordable price, yet it still looks just as good and works great. I would have given it 5 stars but only gave it 4 stars for one reason, the led lights for the onboard sound, and the front led lights will not turn off when the computer is off. They can be turned off in the UEFI BIOS, but then they won't come back on automatically when the board is turned on. It doesn't bother me that they stay on even though I'd rather have them shut off with the board. You'd think Asus would have realized some people would rather them turn off and on with the board, kinda makes sense that they would but some how they overlooked it??? Asus you make nice boards how did you overlook this?

Como toda placa ASUS, tiene problemas de BIOS

Reviewed in Mexico on December 20, 2016

Size: ATXStyle: Z170-KVerified Purchase

La placa en si esta muy bien diseñada y con amplias funciones para un usuario entusiasta.
Tiene todo lo necesario para ser un equipo básico para GAMER o de uso general.
Aestéticamente se ve bastante bien. Tiene muchas formas de expandir y es compatible con SSD de tipo M2 (PCI EXPRESS).

El unico problema que es una constante en todos las placas de ASUS, son sus firmwares inestables con pequeños detalles que en muchos casos se vuelven muy molestos.
En mi caso. No detectaba ni quería bootear con mi SSD. Tuve que hacer ciertas combinaciones de opciones y actualizar el firmware tanto de la placa como del SSD para que funcionara estable.

Awesome board, but the "new" box was opened!

Reviewed in Canada on December 16, 2016

Size: ATXStyle: Z170-AVerified Purchase

Awesome board, easy to install and the onboard LEDs helped me quickly locate the mis-seated RAM that was preventing my initial boot!

The IO shield is really cheap looking and feeling, and it's a real pain to get the motherboard in once it's in the case, but after about 5 minutes of fiddling it's done.

My REAL issue is that my "new" motherboard came with an opened box. No shrink wrap, the box seal was cut open, and there was no seal on the static bag. Was pretty worried about it, but everything seems to be working fine.

EFI BIOS in basic mode is easy to use

Reviewed in Canada on August 13, 2016

Size: ATXStyle: Z170-PROVerified Purchase

Very well-equipped motherboard. EFI BIOS in basic mode is easy to use, and the advanced mode has settings for everything you might need. Overclocking is easy and quite intuitive. I would've wanted a second USB3 20-pin header to supplement the one already present, as I needed more than that. install was very straightforward as the manual is clear. CPU install is easy with the provided tool, though you don't really need it if you're confident enough. I'm very happy with my purchase. One thing though: when you search online for reviews, drivers - anything really - you'll find that ASUS has made a gazillion of boards which names all start with "Z170-", and that unfortunately there is one called "Z170-PRO GAMING", which is *not* this one. This makes it pretty difficult to learn about this particular board, even on ASUS' own website.
