For you, that means exceptional protection and stability for your build - the result of decades of engineering experience from the world's leading motherboard brand.

• LANGuard - pumped-up throughput

  ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors ensuring a more reliable connection and better throughput, plus electrostatically-guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.

• Overvoltage protection

  An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your chipset, connectivity ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.

• Short-circuit damage prevention

  Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of both your system and connected devices.

• DIGI+VRM - precision control for stable power

  ASUS-exclusive DIGI+VRM intelligently delivers power to the processor based on real-time demands, reducing energy waste and improving system stability.

• 3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability

  Corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium oxide have a lifespan that's three times (3X) longer than ordinary panels.

• ESD guards

  Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects are easily underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards are tested to very high standards, capable of up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-6kV for contact discharge. We employ an active protective circuit design to guard your system against electrostatic interference and damage, providing greater component longevity.

• LAN port

  ESD TVS diode protection on the LAN circuit.

• USB connectors

  TVS diodes for surface-mount and dual-inline packages.

• VGA connectors

  Additional on-circuit ESD TVS diodes to protect D-Sub functionality.

• Keyboard and mouse connectors

  Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes.

• Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS

  The smoothest, slickest mouse-controlled graphical BIOS has been improved to make it even more appealing. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, the EZ and Advanced Modes help you find your way, quickly and easily.

• EZ Flash 3

  Update the latest BIOS via the internet, and from within the BIOS.

• S.M.A.R.T

  Check up your storages devices' Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) logs to gauge reliability, and even determine if they're about to fail.

• Q-Fan control

  You can configure the fan's operating speed manually, or use the easy pre-configured fan profiles to select Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes!

• SATA express

  Current SSDs devour up to 550MB/s bandwidth, which is close to saturation point for SATA 6Gbit/s connections. Backwardly compatible with up to two SATA drives, SATA Express is the next-generation connectivity standard - and ensures that you and your system won't get left behind.

• M.2

  With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, making your whole PC or professional apps work as fast as possible.

• Instant front-panel USB 3.0 experience

  USB 3.0 right where you need it - four super-speed ports on the front panel. Experience data-transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0 with instant plug-and-play connectivity, so no more back-breaking contortions in the hunt for hard-to-reach rear ports!

• USB Type-C for convenient connectivity

  USB Type-C (USB-C) delivers future device compatibility and high-speed USB connectivity of 5Gbit/s from a slim, reversible port.

• Noise isolation

  Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.

• Audio enjoyment

  Premium audio capacitors provide warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

• Safe motherboard mounting

  Fitting your ASUS motherboard is now safer than ever. The comprehensive component-free 'safe zones' around every case-mounting hole minimizes the risk of damage and short circuits caused by contact - so you'll assemble your PC with total confidence!

• Q-slot - effortless PCI Express component removal

  The large winged clip is easy to reach and easy to operate. Just press the Q-Slot clip lightly, and graphics card just pop out. Installing or removing even the biggest graphics cards is no sweat!

• Q-DIMM - easy memory removal

  Even if you work with a smaller case, just push down on the one-sided clip and push or pull RAM modules in or out - couldn't be simpler!

• Fan Xpert 2+ - advanced fan controls

  With onboard thermal detection s and hardware-level 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC mode, Fan Xpert 2+ makes sure every fan achieves the best balance of cooling performance and low noise!
