6 Layer PCB
High layer count enhances stability both for heavy loads as well as high overclocking.
2-Way SLI® + PhysX
Engineered to handle the most demanding video loads.
M.2 Support
The Z170 CLASSIFIED K includes support for full size storage and WiFi from the M.2 jacks.
High Gold Content For CPU Socket
Higher volume of precious metal (300% Gold) used in the sockets greatly improves the conductivity and produces a cleaner signal due to less resistance / impedance.
Killer E2400 NIC
Helps to prioritize and reduce network latency.
8 Phase PWM
An 8 Phase PWM helps to ensure that the power reaching the processor is clean and stable.
DUAL BIOS Support
The Z170 Classified K comes preloaded with dual BIOS for ultimate protection. Whether you pushed a brink OC until it is not bootable, or you suffered a power outage during a BIOS flash, you can always switch to another BIOS, boot as usual,then if desired, hot-flash the faulted BIOS.
Onboard Power, Reset and CMOS Reset Buttons
When testing on the Z170, or running it in a benching environment where you do not need to worry about wiring the board to a case to have access to power and reset buttons, they are built onto the board.
Top Notch Integrated Peripherals
The Z170 Classified K is not just focused on the upper end of extreme builds, but also with the smaller components as well. Isolated audio traces combined with a Killer 2400 and Intel i219 NICs ensure the best quality sound and network connection right out of the box.
