Description

• Precise digital power control with ASUS DIGI+ VRM

  Voltage regulator modules (VRMs) are among the most essential motherboard components. A good VRM intelligently delivers CPU power based on actual needs at any given time. ASUS was first with digital power design featuring faster sensing and response to deliver precise CPU power on demand. This great accuracy reduces energy waste and of course improves system stability thanks to more consistent delivery.

• Enhanced DRAM overcurrent protection

  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 device.

• 5K-hr solid-state capacitors that last 2.5x longer

  Solid-state capacitors are able to withstand extreme temperatures of up to 105 °C for as long as 5,000 hours - that's two-and-a-half (2.5x) times longer than traditional capacitors. This exceptional durability means superb real-world endurance to more typical PC operating temperatures, ensuring that ASUS motherboards continue working longer.

• Stainless-steel back I/O that lasts 3x longer

  ASUS motherboard back I/O panels are made from strong and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which is bonded with a thin layer of chromium oxide to enhance anti-corrosive properties. Passing 72-hour spray salt endurance tests, ASUS stainless steel back I/O panels have a lifespan that's three times (3x) longer compared to ordinary panels.

• ESD guards for protection from electrostatic discharge

  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 +/- 10 kV for air discharge and +/-6 kV for contact discharge.

• Compatible CPUs, memory modules, graphics cards and more

  The 9 series motherboard is compatible with thousands of devices. The engineers fit and assess both server and consumer CPUs, hundreds of memory modules, dozens of graphics cards, loads of storage devices, power supplies, network devices, displays, optical drives, peripherals and many more.

• Designed - great compatibility with ASUS products

  When you choose an ASUS motherboard, it's likely you'll also go with ASUS for other components. ASUS designs products from the ground up so that graphics cards, sound cards and optical drives work flawlessly with your motherboard.

• Extensive testing for extreme reliability, compatibility and safety

  The motherboard is subjected to extended reliability testing under heavy load conditions, from the transportation to daily operations, to make sure they are delivered to you in perfect condition. Trials include temperature and humidity, burn-in, power on/off, power consumption, insertion and thermal-shock testing among many others. Every certified-compatible component puts through an up to 24-hour aging test to ensure trouble-free operation every day - no matter what you fit or attach and no matter what you do!

• Crystal Sound 2

  Crystal Sound 2 makes short work of optimizing audio settings for the way you want to listen, be it gaming, chatting, watching movies or relaxing to your favorite music. Onboard physical shielding, professional engineered design and premium components, including audio capacitors and operational amplifiers (op-amps), result in sound output that has exceptional clarity and fidelity. Discover a whole new dimension of superior audio and get ready to rule!

• Work with up to 3 displays

  Connect up to three independent monitors at once using video outputs such as DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA. Choose your outputs and set displays to either mirror mode or collage mode.

• RPM fixed mode

  Designed 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 response.

• Auto tuning mode

  Scans fan parameters through exclusive automatic speed detection to provide custom settings for each fan with a single click. This achieves the best cooling for your components beyond just the mere number of fans in your case.

• 170% faster transfer speeds with USB 3.0 Boost

  With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to already fast USB 3.0 performance.

• Speed up your system with M.2

  With two native PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 10 Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system drive, making your whole PC work that much faster. It supports Intel Rapid Storage technology to ensure even faster access to data, refresh applications automatically and awake from sleep in just seconds!
