Dumb question: have you checked your jumpers?  There's one, usually either "clear CMOS" or "reset BIOS" or something along those lines that basically bypasses the battery.

given he had this board for 3 years without a problem, that would surprise me.

In the deepest dungeons of tech assistance forums, some dude had had the same issue with an ASUS Pro motherboard. It seems like it is a SLI thing.

Because I can still use my socket 1150 Corsair cooler. Although that may seem redundant, considering how much money I spent.

This information is probably much too late, but Z170 motherboards / Socket 1151 CPUs are still compatible with socket 1150 coolers.  My Scythe Kotetsu (which had no documentation for socket 1151) fit just fine.

Another reason I did not want to splooge for Skylake was an article that says the processors have a tendency to bend under pressure. While I am sure that this is a minority of them, the thermals of the Skylake ones for desktop do not fill me with over-confidence on their behalf either. I bought my 4770k early, and it gets hot. The 6770k reportedly runs a notch hotter.

I guess, if I wanted the ultimate gaming PC, I'd just go for the Intel -E platform of some kind, but I have faith in the 4790k lasting for a few years.

I've tried basically any solution suggested for the F1 error except sending the MB back to Asus. The lesson I learnt: Don't spend on a motherboard with features you're hardly going to use anyway.
