Digi+ Power Control

Instantly optimize the system's entire cooling profile with a single click.

Unleash maximum performance with the ASUS TurboV Processing Unit. Its Fast Tuning function optimizes and boosts CPU performance with just one click.

The ASUS Energy Processing Unit delivers real-time, system-wide power savings — with CPU-wattage reductions of up to 12W! Its Away mode creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers and reducing power to the graphics cards while you're away.

TUF Z270 Mark 1 has customizable settings for its 10 fan headers, offering maximum control over your build's cooling and quietness. You can even monitor, manage and individually name and control your system's fans to create a perfect balance between quietness, cooling and performance.

With real-time thermal status reports for both the CPU and graphics cards, your system fan control can be as precise as you like! Additional CPU thermal-assessment features gauge temperature rises due to increasing voltage, providing a benchmark to judge your CPU cooler's performance.

The TUF Z270 Mark 1 Thermal Radar 2+ fan management features have been expanded — allowing custom fan control on ASUS graphics cards as well as multiple case fans.

An integrated recorder logs critical voltage readings, temperatures and fan speeds over time — so you can review your system's history and make informed decisions for system settings and optimal operation.

Exclusive Digi+ Power Control means that TUF Z270 Mark 1 offers ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to accurate CPU-voltage control. Best-in-class power efficiency and stability reduces wasteful voltage discrepancies and provides improved stability for both the CPU and memory.

TUF Thermal Armor
