Are you looking for a motherboard that offers you totally uncompromising performance and is ready for the latest gaming technology? Well then look no further than the Asus Z170 WS. It comes with an 1151 socket and support for Intel's most powerful sixth generation family of Skylake processors, which are produced by advanced 14nm technology. The board offers a wide range of overclocking capabilities, uses the highest quality Japanese capacitors, enables the connection of up to four graphics cards simultaneously, and supports the latest DDR4 memory.

Key features

• Supports the most powerful Intel processors from the Skylake family
• Possibility of using up to four graphics cards simultaneously
• 4 slots for ultrafast DDR4 memory with O.C frequencies up to 3733MHz
• U.2 and M.2 interface with support for extremely fast SSD drives
• Fast USB 3.1 including duplex USB-C connector
• Use of premium Japanese capacitors for stable operation under extreme stress
• Easy overclocking at the UEFI BIOS level, including advanced mode

Support for the latest technologies

Fans of the latest games will surely be pleased with support for up to four graphics cards simultaneously. For NVIDIA graphics chips there is 4-way SLI and for AMD there is 4-way CrossFireX. Professional grahpic designers and pharmaceutical researchers will also appreciate the support of multiple graphics cards.

The fast data transfer interface ensures that the U.2 and the pair of M.2 slots operate at speeds up to 32 Gb/s, well-designed for the connection of fast SSDs. The speed of the whole assembly will certainly not inhibit the memory, since the motherboard supports the latest DDR4 modules that clock up to an impressive 3733MHz. Using the latest USB 3.1 interface including a two-sided USB-C connector, speeds up to 10 Gb/s are also quite common for this board.

High-quality components for maximum stability

In order for the motherboard to withstand a long-term heavy burden on all of its components, it uses premium Japanese capacitors. They are able to withstand high temperatures up to 105°C for 12,000 hours, and further resist at 65°C for up to 1.2 million hours.

Asus UEFI BIOS and overclocking for beginners and professionals

The motherboard uses UEFI BIOS graphics with a modern interface and mouse support. It is worth noting that the overclocking module is divided into so-called EZ Mode and Advanced Mode. EZ mode is designed for beginners and allows you to overclock individual components with just one click. For geeks, the advanced mode allows you to change the operating voltage, frequency, multiplier values, and much more.
