ASUS 5X Protection All-round protection provides the best quality, reliability, & durability ASUS motherboards guard your PC with 5X Protection. We use quality components like DIGI+ VRM digital power design for precise APU power on dem&, ESD units tested to strict standards that eliminate electrostatic interference, & resettable fuses around DRAM slots to prevent overcurrent & short-circuit damage. We also use corrosion-resistant back I/O shields, all examples of ASUS providing the best possible reliability & durability. Specifications CPU AMD Socket FM2+ Athlon/A- Series Processors Supports CPU up to 4 cores Supports AMD Turbo Core 3.0 Technology Chipset AMD A55 FCH (Hudson D2) Memory 2 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory Dual Channel Memory Architecture Support AMD Memory Profile (AMP) memory * The Max. 32GB memory capacity can be supported with DIMMs of 16GB (or above). ASUS will update QVL once the DIMMs are available on the market. * Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs. * Due to OS limitation, when installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Install a 64-bit Windows OS when you want to install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard.
