all right guys welcome to the ASUS Suite we'll be checking out motherboards here
we've got a white one a multicolored one and a small one let's go thank you to
Squarespace for bringing us to CES 2016 this year check out a link to them in
the video description down below so like I said starting with the white one this
is the Sabertooth uh Zed 170s or sa Branco or whatever you want
to call it it looks pretty sick and that's kind of honestly the biggest
Point here unlike a lot of other sabertooths it doesn't have the armor on
the front or the armor on the back or any of that kind of stuff there's a
minor rumor that there might be the ability to buy those as an add-on
afterwards but that's totally not a thing as of right now so don't don't
Bank on that I think it looks super cool in terms of headers and plugins and all
that kind of stuff it has a boatload of fan headers I think it's 11 in total
there's one there's four across the top three on the right hand side uh three on
the bottom and then one in the middle of the board for a grand total of enough fans to literally take your entire
computer off the ground if you want if you're tired of hoverboards you can have
a hover computer I don't know it's ridiculous on the I/O on the back
there's a bank of four USB 2.0 ports another USB 2.0 Port just to the right
of that a BIOS reset switch DisplayPort HDMI dual USB 3.0 a gigb Ethernet port a
USB 3.1 port a USB type-c port and then
a bank of audio plugins next up we've got the multicolored crazy shiny one
which is the Maximus 8 formula whose tagline is see the light we'll figure
out why in a moment first off they've got some cool stuff like high
performance water blocks co-designed by EK water blocks under these little
rubbery grommets up here and you're don't worry you don't have to use those
your computer will function just great without them now in terms of I/O on the
back I want to cover this real fast because it's absolutely insane they have
2x2 802.11 AC M mimo so multi-user mimo
Wi-Fi through these two antenna ports right here you've got a cosos clear
you've got BIOS reset HDMI DisplayPort quad USB 3.0 gbit uh land USB 3.1
standard a connector or USB 3.1 type- C
connector a PS2 Port which while some of
you might think that's funny I actually appreciate so whatever man uh two more
USB 3.0 ports and then a bank of audio ports now I know I glossed over some
things but the main important thing about this is the new lighting stuff so
there's three lighting zones there's one here one more in the middle and one up
there this area is not technically a lighting Zone it's always going to stay
white just so you guys know but another
cool thing is down at the bottom there's this white little header which is going
to enable you to plug in a lighting strip and then use their Rog Aura
lighting software to control that lighting strip and all the RGB Lighting
on the board so they're all in sync which is super cool because you could
then Bridge off of that lighting strip and make it even longer or go all around
the case or make under lighting or whatever the heck you want and everything's going to be be in sync and
it's going to be nice and good last and
honestly maybe least we have the ASUS b150i Pro gaming Wi-Fi Aura board which
would have maybe been helpful if you've seen the Fallout build considering it is
ever so slightly shorter in the heat sink department and that might have
actually helped me anyways this is basically just a cheaper version of
their currently available current generation ITX boards which is really
good to see because ITX being a value proposition is something that should
definitely stay a thing and kind of wasn't for a little while there it does
have one funky feature which is along the right hand side of the board just
under the board or is it in the board no it's under the board is RGB stuff so
just like we saw on the previous board it has the aura RGB lighting system in
terms of plugging in fans you have three headers two that are up and near the top
right hand is kind of corner one that is just above where you'd plug in your
expansion card in terms of fancy features that it carries over from more
higher-end boards it does have 2x2 mimo
AC Wi-Fi which is pretty badass and an m.2 slot which is hidden behind the
board it actually kind of took me a sec to find that one for Io you've got two
USB 2.0 ports a PS2 Port badass DVI
Optical HDMI uh USB type-c gigabit
Ethernet two USB 3.0 ports that Wi-Fi
that we were talking about earlier and a bank of audio ports all right guys
thanks for checking out our video at the a to Sweet unsurprisingly ASUS has a
bunch of cool new motherboard stuff coming soon thank you to Squarespace for
sending us here to CES 2016 if you need to set up a website for any reason maybe
you're developing a VR game I don't know you could set up a Squarespace site it
would be super easy you could do it in like less than a day and if you had any
problems you could contact their 247 Live support either through live chat or
