Description

• Detachable metal TUF badge

  Forged with a singular steel construction, a strong metal that channels courage - a symbol of your true being and everything you stand for.

• Q-LED indicators

  With a design inspired by an armored cockpit, see the power and act on the alerts, with a clear indication of five key boot actions.

• Thermal Armor

  TUF Thermal Armor is more than a futuristic shield: it employs dual fans to provide maximum airflow and rapid cooling board-wide, and an interior shunt design to boost air cooling to the M.2 slot. Reversible-airflow technology blows dust up and away from the heatsink VRM, while the exclusive flow-valve design controls the heat-pipe's air contact - great for liquid-cooling setups.

• TUF Fortifier improves rigidity and cooling behind the board

  SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 delivers great strength and cooling via exclusive TUF Fortifier. A reinforced backplate ensures that the motherboard doesn't buckle under the weight of heavy graphics cards and CPU coolers, minimizing the risk of damaged circuitry from bowing and bending.

• ASUS PRO Clock technology

  A dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator allows overclocked base clock frequencies. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS Turbo Processor Unit (TPU), to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control - granting an exciting way to boost performance to extreme heights.

• Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS

  Smoothes, slick mouse-controlled graphical BIOS has been improved to make it even more appealing. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, the EZ and advanced modes help you find your way, quickly and easily.

• The total cooling commander

  ASUS TUF engineers have forged TUF ICe, a dedicated processor that monitors onboard temperature sensors and fan speeds for ultra-accurate cooling - whether you're adjusting settings manually or using the automatic one-click optimization.

• Thermal Radar 2 - instant fan tuning, complete system cooling

  Thermal Radar 2 has 13 fan connectors and is able to connect with TUF Detective 2 wirelessly for fan control via your smartphone or tablet. Moreover, multiple onboard sensors and the bundled thermistor cable let you monitor graphics card temperatures and other key components in real time, so you can adjust manually or optimize automatically with one click.

• TUF Defenders

  TUF design protects back I/O ports, expansion and memory slots, and prevents dust and other airborne particles from entering critical connectors. Dust Defenders guards against dust build up, helping your PC perform in an optimal and stable state for longer.

• Ultimate-speed 10 Gb/s with USB 3.1 onboard

  With one USB 3.1 Type-A port and one reversible USB 3.1 Type-C for very fast USB connections, you'll experience data-transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s - or twice as fast USB 3.0. USB 3.1 is completely backward-compatible with your existing USB devices, and you'll be all set for USB 3.1's breakneck speeds. And ASUS-exclusive USB 3.1 Boost technology automatically accelerates USB 3.1 performance even further!

• Turbo lan

  Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology adds even more lag-reducing support and intuitive user interface. It allows you to lower lag with no expert knowledge! If you're a tweaker, use advanced mode for hardcore controls.

• Audio shielding

  Ensures precision analog/digital separation and qreatly reduced multi-lateral interference.

• Unique de-pop circuit

  Reduces start-up popping noise to all audio outputs.

• Audio amplifier

  Enhance high-quality sound for headphone and speakers.

• Special layout design

  Separate layers for left and right channels to guard the quality of the sensitive audio signals.
