Description

• Intel H61 Express chipset

  The Intel H61 Express chipset is the single-chipset design to support the 1155 socket Intel Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, which allows increased bandwidth and stability.

• Dual-Channel DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz support

  The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1600/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance.

• PCI Express 3.0

  PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provides twice the performance of the current PCIe 2.0. The total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32 Gb/s, double the 20 Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users an unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices.

• Intel Smart Connect technology

  Your computer can receive fresh updates for selected applications, even when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.

• Intel Rapid Start technology

  Intel Rapid Start technology allows your system to receive updates for your web applications in real-time even when your system is in sleep mode, saving wait time and power usage.

• Gigabit LAN solution

  The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems.

• AI Suite II

  With its user-friendly interface, ASUS AI Suite II integrates several ASUS utilities and allows you to launch and operate these utilities simultaneously. It allows you to supervise fan speed control, and voltage and sensor readings. This all-in-one software offers diverse and ease to use functions, with no need to switch back and forth between different utilities.

• ASUS anti-surge protection

  This special design protects expensive devices and the motherboard from damage caused by power surges from switching power supply unit (PSU).

• ASUS Fan Xpert

  ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust the CPU fan and chassis fan speeds according to different ambient temperatures caused by different climate conditions in different geographic regions and your PC's loading. The built-in variety of useful profiles offers flexible controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment.

• ASUS MyLogo 2

  Turn your favorite photos into 256-color boot logos to personalize your system ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 is an auto-recovery tool that allows you to restore a corrupted BIOS file using the bundled support DVD or a USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file.

• ASUS EZ Flash 2

  ASUS EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly utility that allows you to update the BIOS without using a bootable floppy disk or an OS-based utility.

• C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

  The BIOS C.P.R. feature automatically restores the CPU default settings when the system hangs due to over clocking failure.C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis andclear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the CPU parameters to their default settings.

• ErP ready

  The motherboard is European Union's Energy-related Products (ErP) ready, and ErP requires products to meet certain energy efficiency requirements with regard to energy consumptions. This is in line with ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and energy-efficient products through product design and innovation to reduce carbon footprint of the product and thus mitigate environmental impacts.
