EMI cover
A carefully-engineered protective shield isolates the advanced audio chipset from electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving the integrity of the audio signals. -
Premium ELNA audio capacitors
They are added to the mix to deliver a warmer, natural sound to complete the audio experience. -
Intel Gigabit Ethernet
Intel Gigabit Ethernet provides better Throughput with lower processing power for superior speed. -
2X-faster UDP game-data performance
ASUS engineers used IxChariot, an independent network-assessment test tool, to determine just how much quicker Intel Gigabit Ethernet deals with the UDP data packets that are vital for responsive gaming. The results are in - and with H81-GAMER your game-data packets flow up to two times (2X) faster! -
ESD Guards
With ASUS ESD Guards your H81-Gamer is actively protected against sudden electrostatic discharge (ESD), meaning the components will last much longer - and you get protection that's up to twice as resilient as industry standards! -
