Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard

Product Information

To create a seamless VR experience GIGABYTE Motherboards offer the best features to make your virtual reality feel like your actual reality. The motherboard BIOS provides "Plug & Play" BIOS which detects the peripheral devices and expansion cards of the board automatically. Breaking the limits on a Mini-ITX form factor, GIGABYTE’s Z170N-WiFi 2.0 expands the support for PCI-Express via a bifurcation mode. This feature allows users to take advantage of a single PCI-Express x16 slot, through the use of a riser card, and transform their PCI-Express slot into two (2) full length PCI-Express slots, each supporting x8 PCIe lanes.

GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 3600MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE motherboard. Realtek Green GbE LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times to delivery better responsiveness in a crowded LAN environments.
