KEY POINTS

Singapore (1st March,
2015) — ASUS today announced TUF
Sabertooth Z170 S, a new ATX motherboard with stunning arctic-white
digital camouflage and packed with many exclusive features for ultimate cooling.
These include TUF Thermal Radar 2 fan management, TUF ICe temperature sensors, the
TUF Detective 2 companion app for remote monitoring and control, and a
color-matched Q-LED indicator light for boot analysis.

The new
Intel® Z170 Express-based motherboard for 6th-generation Intel Core™
processors also boasts the latest connectivity with both USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A
and reversible Type-C ports on board, and delivers 24/7 durability with
military-grade TUF Components, upgraded TUF ESD Guards 2 to fend off
electrostatic discharge, TUF LANGuard for reliable networking, and a five-year
warranty[1] for
complete peace of mind.

Designed tough, built to last: Arctic-white digital
camouflage and ice-white Q-LED indicator

ASUS TUF was
the world’s first motherboard brand to produce a motherboard with an all-white
printed-circuit board (PCB), and Sabertooth Z170 S takes the arctic-camouflage
concept even further — by stenciling the military-inspired digital pattern
directly onto the board. The all-new look is both unique and evocative of
might, enabling Sabertooth Z170 S to form the centerpiece of futuristic battle-ready
rigs.

Sabertooth
Z170 S’s arctic-white aesthetic is complemented by the Q-LED indicator light.
With a design inspired by an armored cockpit, Q-LED keeps users informed of vital
boot actions — all cast brightly by an ice-white LED. It’s the perfect complement
for any arctic-themed build.

Ultimate cooling solution: TUF ICe, Thermal
Radar 2 and TUF Detective 2

TUF
Sabertooth Z170 S combines three thermal-management technologies to ensure the
ultimate cooling for any build — TUF ICe, TUF Thermal Radar 2 and TUF Detective
2.

TUF ICe is a
dedicated onboard processor that monitors onboard temperature sensors and fan
speeds for ultra-accurate cooling.

TUF Thermal
Radar 2 offers 11 fan connectors. The multiple onboard sensors hand users the
power to monitor the temperature of the graphics card and other key components
in real time, as well as the ability to adjust cooling manually or optimize it automatically
with one click.

The free TUF
Detective 2 companion app puts detailed system information and a user-friendly
interface on a smartphone or tablet display — right at users’ fingertips. With
TUF Detective 2, users are able to detect and diagnose errors and adjust their TUF
Sabertooth Z170 S-based system with touchscreen ease, including the ability to control
fans wirelessly via the app.

24/7 durability, latest connectivity: TUF
Components, ESD Guards 2, 5-year warranty, and USB 3.1

TUF Sabertooth Z170 S is engineered with TUF Components so it’s tough
enough for the most demanding conditions, even under heavy loading.
Japanese-made 10K black metallic capacitors offer 20%-better temperature
endurance for a longer lifespan, and TUF alloy chokes are manufactured using
high-grade anti-oxidization materials to provide heat dissipation that’s 13%
better than before for unbeatable durability.

It’s also constructed with upgraded TUF ESD Guards 2 to defend numerous
ports against sudden electrostatic discharge. Engineered to be two times (2X)
stronger than before, TUF ESD Guards 2 covers all USB sockets and rear I/O connectors
— and exclusive pin-level testing on specific rear I/O connectors is 30% higher
than the previous TUF standard.

TUF Sabertooth Z170 S also has LANGuard on board. This hardware-level
networking protection, certified for military use, employs signal-coupling
technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to ensure a more reliable connection
and better throughput. It also has electrostatically-guarded and
surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and
2.5X-greater surge tolerance.

Every TUF motherboard undergoes the industry’s most-punishing tests to
ensure they’re ready for permanent duty in all scenarios. In our development
labs we heat them to 95°C, freeze them all the way down to -45°C, bend them,
shock them and drop them — meaning TUF Sabertooth Z170 S is certified for 24/7
durability. This is why we have the confidence to back every TUF Sabertooth
Z170 S board with a five-year warranty.

TUF Sabertooth Z170 S has the newest, fastest and most convenient
connectivity built in, with both USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible Type-C
sockets for data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps — or twice (2X) as fast USB
3.0. USB 3.1 is completely backward-compatible with existing USB devices.
