Built for 6th and 7th generation Intel Core

The ASUS Z170-P fits the LGA 1151 socket and accepts Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It targets builders assembling a mainstream desktop for office work, home media or light creative tasks. The ATX layout provides standard expansion room without demanding an oversized case.

Reinforced slots and legacy ports

5X Protection II adds overvoltage safeguards, stainless-steel rear I/O and laneguard on the primary PCIe slot. Dual Intelligent Processors 5 handles automatic tuning through 5-Way Optimization. Rear panel includes HDMI, SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 connectors. M.2 support is present for a single solid-state drive.

Efficient operation under typical loads

DTS Studio Sound handles onboard audio without a discrete card. USB 3.1 Boost improves throughput on compatible peripherals. The board draws modest power during everyday use and runs quietly with standard case airflow. No exotic cooling is required for normal workloads.

Questions about this item

What speed does the USB 3.1 interface on this motherboard cap at in practice?

The USB 3.1 Boost feature accelerates transfer rates, though actual throughput depends on the connected device and cable quality.

What clearance and mounting points does the ATX form factor of this board need to fit in a case?

The ATX layout requires a case with nine mounting holes and sufficient rear-panel cutout space for the HDMI and USB 3.0 ports.

How is the M.2 drive installed on this Z170-P, and which step do builders often miss?

Insert the M.2 drive at an angle into the slot, then secure it with the small retention screw; the step most often missed is fitting that screw.
