  • Quad-GPU CrossFireX support

    F2A85-M brings you the multi-GPU choice of CrossFireX. Expect a gaming style you've never experienced before!
  • DIGI+ VRM digital power design

    ASUS motherboards using the AMD A85X chipset employ precise digital voltage regulation for the APU, called DIGI+ VRM (Voltage Regulation Modules) digital power design. The APU voltage is adjusted via either carefully developed automated modes, or by using user-defined profiles. The effect is that DIGI+ VRM technology ensures greater energy efficiency and the most precise power delivery.
  • USB 3.0 Boost

    With USB 3.0 Boost technology, USB transfer speeds are significantly increased up to 132%, enhancing an already impressive USB 3.0 transfer rate.
  • Native SATA 6 Gbps support

    The AMD A85X FCH natively supports Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard delivers up to 6.0 Gbps data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
  • Network iControl

    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.
  • AI Suite II

    With its user-friendly interface, ASUS AI Suite II consolidates all exclusive ASUS features into one simple-to-use package. It allows users to supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed, voltage, and sensor readings.
  • ESD

    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.
  • 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.
  • GPU Boost

    GPU Boost accelerates the integrated GPU for extreme graphics performance. The user-friendly interface facilitates flexible frequency adjustments. It easily delivers stable system-level upgrades for every use.
  • ASUS TurboV

    Feel the adrenaline rush of real-time OC-now a reality with the ASUS TurboV. This easy OC tool allows you to overclock without exiting or rebooting the OS; and its user-friendly interface makes overclock with just a few clicks away.
  • UEFI BIOS

    The ASUS UEFI BIOS is a unified extensible firmware interface that offers a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient mouse input. Users can easily navigate the UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as their operating system. It natively supports hard drives larger than 2.2 TB in 64-bit, with full storage space utilization, helping deliver far more exciting computing than traditional BIOS versions.
