Cons

The asus z170 deluxe board looks to me to be the most feature rich z170 board on the market, but i will never purchase another asus product, especially a motherboard. Beautiful board but plagued with issues. See the photo of seal.

This company is garbage. Buyer beware if you intend to use this with a samsung 950 pro or similar. I just can't justify buying any more products from them.

The asus 950 pro is not compatible with corsair dominator memory. This board refuses to boot with my 4 dimms of corsair dominators memory in xmp or with the timings set manually. If you purchase an asus motherboard, you have to take into consideration...  Read More

Unfortunately it seems the board is dead most likely the result of a crapped out bios

    You plug all your fans on the motherboard you specify in the software the fan location and it does automatic calibration to determine each fans capabilities individually and then combined to optimise air flow

    If i could make changes i would alter the indicator lights and the various buttons power reset status led to white to avoid contrasting with the color theme of the board


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    White lights go well enough with any build but yellow or amber do not


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ignore the lights on the right as those are reflections from the background

    And yes the case is a phanteks enthoo with tempered glass

    If something is not working properly a light on the motherboard will flash next to the component
