Lots of features for an entry-level board, Dedicated water pump header, Great BIOS, USB 3.1 and 32 Gb/s M.2, CPU installation tool, Ai Suite III software
No post code display, No CMOS reset button

It's clear that Asus knows exactly how to get everything power users want onto a motherboard, without going overboard on flashy extra or unnecessary features that would discourage anyone working to a budget. The Z170-A is the cheapest Skylake motherboard...

Overclocking requires Turbo mode to be enabled
