    ASUS Z270-A: Overclocking with an Aesthetical Appeal
    4 Stars
    ASUS Z270-A: Overclocking with an Aesthetical Appeal
    This ASUS Z270-A motherboard is built for users seeking an aesthetically pleasing motherboard that is capable of overclocking and fits your budget of $150.  This ASUS product merits a 4/5 due to its durability in the installation process, overclocking capabilities, and its appeal to the human eye.When it comes to overclocking, this motherboard is a breeze.  You have three options to choose from; your base clock, automatic, and manual.  I am currently running the i5-7600k and the automatic took it from a base rate of 3.8ghz to 4.5ghz.  However, due to the fact that I have a Thermaltake RGB 360mm radiator, I was able to push it to a stable 5.0ghz with this motherboard.  I would recommend doing some research online about your CPU first because I would have never attempted a 5.0ghz overclock if I hadn’t found others doing the same thing.Another great thing about this motherboard is its aesthetic appeal.  Since my case has a full tempered glass window, I wanted something that I would enjoy looking at from time to time.  The white accents are extremely nice with or without added RGB lighting.  The RGB lighting reflects very nicely off the white accents and does so with every color option.  The motherboard also comes with the AURA light feature, allowing the user to customize the built in RGB lighting.  With this software you are able to pick from any of the 16.9 million color options and choose its display effect.  Some effects, for example, are static, breathing, wave, strobing, and etc.Lastly, as most PC builders/enthusiasts know, the motherboard is one of the trickiest parts of the entire installation process.  My reasoning behind a rating of 4/5 stars is that the user may find some difficulty in installing this board on their own.  The rear I/O panel comes with tabs built in and you will need to bend these tabs at least 90 degrees for the motherboard to slide into place.  The difficulty comes when you try to install the motherboard with these indented tabs as the large white shield covering the ports obstructs your view. However, ASUS makes up for this through its extremely durable design. The board is designed with some give so even though you may feel like it is going to snap when installing the power adapter, it won’t.  I found myself pushing rather hard and never felt I was going to break it. Overall, if you want to overclock and enjoy looking at your computer, this is the motherboard for you.For reference:My custom build is comprised of this ASUS Z270-A motherboard, the i5-7600k CPU, thermaltake RGB 360 radiator, 16gb Ballistix RAM, EVGA 1050ti 4gb GPU, a Cooler Master 650M PSU, inside the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Series.
