Description
This motherboard supports powerful processors with unique L3 cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features dual-channel memory support and accelerates data transfer rate via HyperTransport 3.0 based system bus. The ASUS EPU, the 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.
-
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. -
Low EMI
A special low-radiation design shields you from harmful electromagnetic exposure by eliminating radiation. -
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. -
USB 3.0 support
Experience ultra-fast data transfer with USB 3.0 - the advanced connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components. -
Fan X-pert
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 offer flexible controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment.
