ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO

A good operating platform is not only compatible with many excellent hardware products, but also needs to have a strong carrying capacity. The ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard is specially designed for game players. It has solid materials, excellent workmanship, and strong performance. With rich player features, it can bring users an extraordinary game experience. I believe it will be an indispensable good helper for you to play games. The color matching of Z170 PRO GAMING completely follows the scheme of the previous generation of player series (such as B85-PRO GAMER), and the decoration of on-board heat sink has become "dynamic". At the moment when the game theme hardware is equal to the light show, this motherboard naturally needs to follow the trend. LED Control adjustment interface is added to the AISuite3 software supporting Z170 PROGAMING. Here, you can modify the mode of LED lights on the motherboard, including the constant light, flicker and breathing effect. It is simple to set it successfully with a mouse click. With LED and other adjustment functions, the lighting effect of the motherboard is more cool and personalized. In addition to the original audio part LED split line (with three effects of constant light, breathing light and flicker), the motherboard added five LED lights next to the first PCI-E x1, with two effects of constant light and breathing light. This motherboard is based on the new Intel Z170 chipset and supports the new 14 nm LGA 1151 pin Intel processor, which is customized for high-end game players. The motherboard adopts the standard ATX board type, with a size of 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm. The motherboard has 9 mounting holes, and a total of 5 4pin fan sockets, including CPU_FAN and OPT_FAN, are designed on the motherboard. For the game console, the number is sufficient and the location is designed reasonably. The motherboard provides four memory sockets, which can support up to 64GB of DDR4 3400MHz (overclocking) memory , which can not only provide users with sufficient memory upgrade space, but also bring about the ultimate improvement of computer performance. Asustek's exclusive SupremeFX sound effect technology and Japanese Nijikang professional audio capacitor provide more natural and clearer sound effects for games and multimedia, bringing consumers an impeccable sound effect experience. The power supply part adopts a design of 6 phases in total. The main control is a DIGI+VRM EPU ASP1400B, and each phase uses a MOSFET Driver. The MOSFET adopts a core 4-phase 2+2 per phase, and the other 2-phase 1+2 configuration. The specific materials for power supply are from Ansomy, models 4C06N (30V 69A 4mOhm) and 4C09N (30V 52A 5.8mOhm); 5K hour solid state capacitance and inductance come from a strange brand, with capacitance parameters of 6.3V/560uf and 16V/270uf.

At present, the price is a little high, and the cost performance is not as good as Z170-A

Z170 PRO GAMING is a "not exaggerated but practical, relatively low-key" game motherboard, which continues the strong performance and high-quality workmanship of ASUS motherboard. It is very suitable for users who do not care about lighting effects, extreme stacking, and the number of new interfaces to build a high-performance game platform. In short, this motherboard not only has strong performance but also has a good application experience, It can be called the benchmark of the mid end Z170 game motherboard. Players who need to try

The Z170-A motherboard is equipped with the Intel Gigabit network card and USB 3.1 interface for the ATX board type, and applies the unique sound master technology of ASUS The experience has been improved to a higher level. It supports Intel Socket 1151 full series processors, two PCI-E 3.0 x16 sockets, and one There are only x4 3.0 x16 slots at high speed, supporting 2-way SLI and 3-way CF fire fighting, as well as 3 PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots and 1 PCI slot The board has four DDR4 memory sockets, supporting dual channel DDR4 3466MHz memory with a maximum of 64G. This time, the same color matching as ASUS's previous classic color matching is reserved The I/O interface is also covered with a white shield, and the round radiator of Nanqiao has become a white square. In terms of durability, the Z170-A motherboard It is outstanding because it adopts advanced LANGUARD network full protection, overload full protection, DIGI+digital power supply master, high-quality 5K solid Five protection functions, such as state capacitor and stainless steel moisture-proof I/O interface, can well avoid static electricity, lightning strike, unstable power supply, poor quality power supply, etc Device damage

USB3.1 is not a native but a third-party solution, which is a small regret

It is a good choice for friends who want to experience the latest Skylake but have insufficient funds to choose a cheap and sufficient Z170-A. The excellent workmanship and friendly price of ASUS Z170-A motherboard are still very valuable

1. Powerful software and utility tools. For example, AI Siut under the desktop can set and adjust the speed of each fan in the chassis at will. It is very convenient to use bios. wait 2. The level of appearance design is very high, low-key but calm, grand, and very stylish when viewed in front of you. 3. The wiring design, materials and workmanship are also unknown. It is very suitable for playing overclocking.

The black and red color contrast design of the previous generation ROG hero series has been changed to black and gray in this eighth generation, which is really unacceptable. But the red element added in the limited edition is good.

ASUS's ROG series is the real representative and essence of "ASUS". "Asus products are noble and beautiful"
