-
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. -
Core Unlocker
ASUS Core Unlocker simplifies the activation of an AMD CPU - with just a simply key. Enjoy an instant performance boost by simply unlocking the extra cores, without performing complicated BIOS changes. -
Fan Xpert
ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust the CPU 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. -
8-channel high definition audio
Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD audio CODEC enables high-quality 192 KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions and multi-streaming technology that simultaneously send different audio streams to different destinations. You can now talk to your partners on the headphone while playing a multi-channel network games. All of these are done on one computer.
