ASUS TUF Z270 Mark I Motherboard Review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/05/2017 11:02 AM [ 4 comment(s) ]

We turn to ASUS who has released a new Z270 motherboard in ye ol' SaberTooth line. Actuality, it is called simply TUF these days. The more rugged and shielded design comes with proper features, and THE most fan connectors I have ever seen. Though very little RGB bling is injected, this motherboard is compatible with the new generalized ASUS AURA SYNC, which is a software suite that allows for multiple choices in additional RGB gear to be driven from your one software suite.

1) I thought that Kaby Lake increased the native DDR4 support to 2400MHZ (up from 2133MHZ)? You even say this (below the incorrect chart) in the Key Features list that it supports DDR4 2400MHZ!

2) Also isn't there USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 2? Could you include an explanation of the differences between these in your article? Edit: Oh, you mention this on a much, much later page in the article.

3) Can you please include mention of what revision the Display Port and HDMI ports are on the back I/O panel, thanks.

I don´t like the idea, that M.2 SSD is covered, if the controller is running hot anyways.

Now it´s covered with even lower heat dissipation.
