TUF is where ambition for reliably brilliant performance meets reality. When you
build a system using the TUF Z270 Mark 1 motherboard, you build with the
confidence of total stability and guaranteed compatibility. Whether you want to
work or mod, be sure to build on a solid foundation with The Ultimate Force —
that's TUF!
Brighten Up Your Build
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura Sync
technology offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of exciting presets
for onboard LED illumination. Each preset can be synced with an ever-growing
portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.
Outshine the competition
ASUS Aura Sync technology for distinctive lighting
effects
Aura Sync takes RGB lighting beyond the checkbox, combining and controlling the
LEDs of your Aura-enabled products from a single application — so you can
achieve perfect, synchronized lighting harmony. Aura lets you sync light effects
across your graphics card, TUF Z270 Mark 1 motherboard, and an ever-growing
portfolio of Aura-enabled products.
Overclocking Design
Engineered for maximum memory acceleration
Implementing a new engineering-intensive DRAM layout, the third-generation ASUS
T-Topology delivers new DDR4-overclocking dynamics that let you push memory
frequencies further than ever — all the way up to 3866MHz if all memory slots
are being utilized!
One Click to Overclock
You don't need to be a technical expert to experience exhilarating overclocking
performance with TUF Z270 Mark 1, because Thermal Radar 2+ now incorporates the
TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) for efficient operation with precise voltage
control and monitoring — all managed with a single click!
Dual Intel Gigabit LAN
Don't let slow networking disrupt your workflow! With dual Intel® Gigabit
Ethernet connectors, TUF Z270 Mark 1 keeps your data moving swiftly and
efficiently. With both LAN ports teamed* you'll benefit from increased bandwidth
for more speed, automated load balancing for smoother data flows, and instant
failover if something should go wrong — so access to your files is always
fast, efficient and uninterrupted.
