from completed build Dad's First Gaming Computer
Very very easy to use BIOS and relatively cheap too. Looks great.
from completed build Washington's Axe
Looks pretty decent and the BIOS is easy to navigate with a lot of options to customize.
Overclocking is a little limited though. my 6700k can only reach 4.7GHz stable. Any higher requires ridiculous levels of power on vCore. I tried a friends 7700k and saw identical results which leads me to believe it is the MOBO and not silicone lottery on the CPU. This is not a huge issue and is actually to be expected given it's the E variant and not the A.
from completed build Late 2016 build - my saviour from laptop gaming
Got my 6600k up to 4.6GHz on this board, albeit at 1.38v (the silicon lottery has forsaken me). I ended up just running it at 4.5GHz ~1.36v - not the safest or coolect OC, but it worked great for over three years. Has a great and easy to use BIOS with a bunch of features (OCing, fan controls, legacy support, etc).
from completed build First Complete Affordable Build
Good budget mobo. I do regret not getting a 270 as I could have gotten a 6700k for basically the same price and a little more power.
from completed build Viserion's Deep Dive
This motherboard gave me a headache. I spent a decent chunk of money trying to update the BIOS without a Skylake processor at hand. At this point, this should come updated from the factory! Cost me enough in the end that I could've bought a Gigabyte Z270 SLI board (with a better audio chip) with that money!
from completed build My First Build - An AMD Budget Beast
A great budget-friendly Z170 motherboard. I picked this up when it was on sale for $68. A great deal. Only complaint is that its not a standard ATX size, so its missing the far right row of screws so be careful not to bend it when installing RAM or plugging in the 24-pin power connector.
from completed build The budget-ish PC build
The Asus Z170-E is a very good choice for a mid range motherboard. I would have personally bought a cheaper motherboard but, I took the recommendation from a friend to buy an ASUS motherboard and it has yet to disappoint.
from completed build Fury
This board was by far the worst component in my build. Features wise, it is excellent. Aesthetically, it is beautiful. But, as far as the layout, it is a complete pain in the a$*. It may be because I'm an inexperienced builder ,but it seemed as though the connector pins were just scattered everywhere at random with no layout/placement in mind. This made cable management very,very difficult.
from completed build First PC Build. Gaming/Streaming.
The ASUS BIOS is very easy to work with, especially for someone who's never worked with one before. Easy installation as well.
