A mark of new era. With the next era of technological progress, we challenged ourselves to evolve into bringing a completely new design language to TUF line of motherboards. By harnessing our best technology paramount design credentials, SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 envisions futuristic fighting forces, with sleek, stealthy Thermal Armor reimagined in black & metal grey to make a powerful statement of both high style & extreme strength. With a design Inspired by an armored cockpit, see the power & act on the alerts, with a clear indication of five key boot actions. TUF Thermal Armor is more than a futuristic shield: it employs dual fans to provide maximum airflow & rapid cooling board-wide, & a new interior shunt design to boost air cooling to the M.2 slot. Reversible-airflow technology blows dust up & away from the heatsink VRM, while the exclusive flow-valve design controls the heat-pipe's air contact
- great for liquid-cooling setups. SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 delivers great strength & cooling via exclusive TUF Fortifier. A reinforced backplate ensures that the motherboard doesn't buckle under the weight of heavy graphics cards & CPU coolers, minimizing the risk of damaged circuitry from bowing & bending. TUF Fortier even reduces internal temperatures by up to 13°C
- an 18% improvement on the previous design! A dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator designed for 6th-generation Intel processors that allows overclocked base clock frequencies up to 400 M Hz*. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS Turbo Processor Unit (TPU), to enhance voltage & base-clock overclocking control
- granting an exciting new way to boost performance to extreme heights. The smoothest, slickest mouse-controlled graphical BIOS has been enhanced to make it even more appealing. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, the EZ & Advanced Modes help you find your way, quickly & easily. ASUS TUF engineers have forged TUF ICe, a dedicated processor that monitors onboard temperature sensors & fan speeds for ultra-accurate cooling
- whether you're adjusting settings manually or using the automatic one-click optimization via Thermal Radar 2 & TUF Detective 2. Main
