Description

ASUS F2A85-V PRO features ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology. ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.

  • Digital power control for both APU and DRAM

    The DIGI+ power control design with two digital voltage controllers upgrades motherboard power delivery to an overall solution on AMD FM2 motherboards, including DRAM controllers that offer ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to ultra-precise APU voltage control. This evolution of ASUS technology provides the best in class control for better efficiency, stability and performance.
  • TPU with the SMART DIGI+ key for a blazing performance boost

    Always at the forefront of power design, ASUS propels you into the future standard of power management again by giving you a complete APU, memory and SMART DIGI+ technology with profile tuning digital power solution, which works with the TPU to ramp up performance to its maximum. Enable the SMART DIGI+ key profile with a single click and adjust APU multiplier manually in the TPU to increase APU frequency up to an incredible 68%!
  • Increased APU and DRAM overclocking range

    With programmable digital controllers onboard, users can adjust APU and DRAM voltage and VRM switching frequencies for various overclocking scenarios. DRAM tuning possibilities make the most of DDR3 memory for better performance with APU load line calibration and 30% more DRAM current capacity. Thanks to a slew of power options teamed with an extensive and intuitive UEFI BIOS, overclocking very large memory setups is no more difficult than mainstream motherboards.
  • One-stop PC remote control and home entertainment

    Remote GO! links PCs, tablets, smartphones and TVs wirelessly together through an existing LAN cable and router setup. It allows users to stream multimedia content from PC to DLNA devices, access their computer anywhere using their mobile device at home, while also allowing easy file transfers between your computer and mobile device. It provides seamless environment for a futuristic connected lifestyle with three useful functions: DLNA media hub, remote desktop and file transfer.
  • Faster USB 3.0 transmission with UASP

    ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.
  • ASUS exclusive interface

    EZ mode displays frequently-accessed info. Users can choose system performance settings and drag and drop boot priorities. Advanced mode for performance enthusiasts includes detailed DRAM settings via a dedicated memory info page for complete insight.
  • Easy, worry-free USB BIOS Flashback

    USB BIOS Flashback offers the convenient way to flash the BIOS! It allows overclockers to try new UEFI BIOS versions easily, without even entering their existing BIOS or operating system. It even works without key components such as the CPU and memory installed. Just plug in any USB storage and push the dedicated button for 3 seconds. The UEFI BIOS is automatically flashed using ATX standby power. Worry-free updating for the ultimate convenience!
  • A dedicated button to access the BIOS directly

    Designed for users requiring frequent BIOS access, you can easily enter the BIOS automatically when the PC is on standby power with a press of a button. It saves you time during boot-up from having to repeatedly press the DEL key. Convenience and ease at its best!
  • Real-time network bandwidth control

    With a single-click on/off button, the application currently in use has its data and network bandwidth prioritized over other programs. Moreover, you can prioritize your favorite software easily by configuring profiles through the intuitive user interface. Within the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time period to avoid network congestion and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE network connection provides a one-step setup for enhanced online convenience. Overall, it's an intuitive network bandwidth control center.
  • Optimizes the speed of all fans for the ultimate cool and quiet

    Hardware-level ASUS Fan Xpert 2 provides the customizable settings for an even cooler and quieter computing environment. Upgraded with fan auto tuning mode, it enables tailored fan speed settings for each CPU and chassis fan with exclusive automatic fan speed detection, which scans through each fan to run at specific settings based on different criteria, acheiving the best balance of cooling performance and low noise. Fan Xpert 2 also includes an RPM fixed mode for users who wish to reduce noise levels to near 0 dB with highly specific fan speed control. It reacts to system loads for greater control.
  • 3x faster charging for all smart devices

    With a dedicated onboard controller, quick-charge all your smart devices such as iProducts. smartphones, tablets and more, all up to 3x faster, even when the PC is powered off, in sleep or hibernation modes.
  • Double USB access, double convenience

    ASUS facilitates strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel - 6 USB 3.0 ports in total. Experience the Plug and Play connectivity at speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This motherboard affords greater convenience to high speed connectivity.
