  • Anti-Surge- Full-time Power Guardian-Make System Free From Risk
  • ASUS EPU- System Level Energy Saving
  • Low EMI- protect you - 50% less radiation
  • EPU-4 engine

    The ASUS EPU - the world's first power saving engine, has been upgraded to a 4-engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. The EPU automatically provides the appropriate power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard drives and CPU cooler fan - helping save power and money.
  • ASUS anti-surge protection

    Anti-surge protection design detects overvoltage conditions and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to protect the system.
  • ESD

    Protect your computer with ESD guards. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions can happen while plugging or unplugging any USB peripherals-causing damage to the computer. ASUS ESD guards clamp the ESD voltage and shunt the majority of the ESD current away for a more reliable computing environment.
