  This motherboard supports the Intel Ivy Bridge processor in the LGA1155 package, with memory and PCI Express controllers integrated to support 2-channel DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes. This provides great graphics performance.

• H61

  The Intel H61 (B3) express chipset is the single-chipset design to support the 1155 socket Intel processor. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability.

• PCIE 3.0

  The PCI Express bus standard delivers improved encoding for twice the performance of current PCIE 2.0. Total bandwidth for a 16 link reaches a maximum of 32 Gbps, double the 16 Gbps of PCIE 2.0. PCIE 3.0 provides user's unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIE 1.0 and PCIE 2.0 devices.

• Dual-channel DDR3

  The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features high data transfer rates 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.

• GPU boost

  GPU boost overclocks the integrated GPU in real time for the best graphics performance. User-friendly UI facilitates flexible frequency and voltage adjustments. Its ability to deliver multiple overclocking profiles also provides rapid and stable system-level upgrades.

• ASUS anti-surge protection

  Protect your device 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.

• AI suite II

  With its fast user-friendly interface, ASUS AI suite II consolidates all the exclusive ASUS features into one simple to use software package. It allows you to supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed control, voltage and sensor readings.

• ASUS UEFI BIOS

  Exclusive to ASUS motherboards, its UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the first ever mouse-controlled graphical BIOS interface designed with dual selectable modes. It delivers a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient input with quick scrolling. Users can easily navigate the UEFI BIOS with the smoothness of their operating system. Quick and simple overclocking and setup sharing is facilitated by the F12 hotkey BIOS snapshot feature. The exclusive EZ mode displays frequently-accessed setup info, while the advanced mode is for experienced performance enthusiasts that demand far more intricate system control, including detailed DRAM information.

• Simply update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS

  EZ flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply launch this tool and update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or using an OS-based flash utility.

• 8-channel high definition audio

  The onboard 8-channel HD audio CODEC enables high-quality 192 KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more confusion of line-in, line-out, and mic jacks.

• ErP ready

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

• USB 3.0 support

  Experience ultra-fast data transfer at 4.8 Gbps with USB 3.0. Built to connect easily with components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10x faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.
